[Zope] Zope installation woes

Wed Jul 5 19:33:12 EDT 2006

Apache's default port is 80.  Have you tried that? (i haven't kept the 
earlier part of this thread, and I can't remember what you have tried).

Do you have a rewrite rule set up in apache?
(something like:  RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/$1 [P])

Don't give up!  Once you have zoped you'll never go back ;-)
