You may be using a distro that starts Apache on boot. Check your init
scripts. If you want Zope running on 80, you'll need to either disable
the init script starting that other server, or configure that other
server to run on a different port if you really want that service.

That said, I agree with others about the standard way of running Zope
(unprivileged user, high port, behind Apache or other).
