That sounds like a good start!

try ps -eLf at the command line, do you see the zope processes running?

If your browser is running on the same machine try:  http://localhost:8080

To see which ports zope is working with look at the file.../etc/zope.conf
and look for two things: (1) http-server and (2) port-base (the zope.conf 
file contains comments which will tell you what you need to know).

If you have apache running as a web server in front of zope you will need to 
configure apache (you can find info here: 
http://www.zope.org/Members/regebro/Zope_and_Apache)

Good luck!


Jonathan
