Zope 2 and Zope 3 share the same type of configuration file (zope.conf).
Their syntax (pseudo XML) is modelled after the Apache configuration
file syntax. Many web developers are familiar with that format.

That said, the way to make the HTTP server listen on a specific IP
address is specified with the 'address' key in a <server> section, e.g.:

<server>
  type HTTP
  address 127.0.0.1:8080
</server>

There aren't any detailed docs I'm afraid. But then again, most of
what's in zope.conf is self-explanatory. I guess this particular thing
wasn't.

You're welcome to contribute a document explaining zope.conf in a
better, more detailed way.

Then you're assuming wrong. Plone docs clearly state which versions it
is compatible with and Zope 3 is not among them. Zope 3 also clearly
states that it can't run Zope 2 applications.
