Hint 1: saying that there was some error message is not nearly as useful 
as giving the message itself.

Hint 2: read docs/SETUID.txt as suggested. You have to start Zope as 
root to use port 80, but Zope doesn't want to always run as root for 
security reasons. Jump through the hoops there (such as adding a -u user 
switch, plus directory permissions) and it will probably work.
