You didn't tell us on what platform you work.

Under *nix, all ports below 1024 are previledged and can only be bind to
by processes running under "root".

For security reasons, Zope has special requirements when run under root.

Obviously -- although I cannot tell you what.

If you really have restored the original state, then you should see
again the same behaviour. When you see a different behaviour, then
you have not yet fully restored the original state...
