Well, *something* has to be running on port 80 for that to work. 
You can't magically bind to a port just by configuring vhm...  

either run zope behind another webserver that runs on port 80
(recommended); 

or set up port forwarding on your firewall so that traffic to port 
80 gets sent to zope on 8080 (this doesn't work for clients on 
localhost); 

or start zope as root with the -u flag and run it directly on port 
80 (blech).*

* blech because it doesn't work at all with ZEO, and because 
starting as root seems unnecessarily foolhardy given that there
are other perfectly good solutions.
