Please keep this on the mailing list.

What you are referring to is a use case Zope cannot cater for. To run  
a Zope server you must have certain levels of access to the server.  
Zope is not like a CGI-script that you can upload and run out of  
Apache, it is a full-blown server process on its own.

This is neither an oversight nor a limitation, this requirement  
exists for all real server software you want to install and run.
