I have Zope/Apache/FastCGI running on Linux, and this is how I've done it:

1) Install the FastCGI-module for Apache (see http://www.fastcgi.com).
2) Modify httpd.conf:

   # FastCGI-module
   LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
   AddModule mod_fastcgi.c

   ...

   # Document Root
   DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/zope"

   # FastCGI
   FastCgiIpcDir /tmp
   FastCgiExternalServer /var/www/html/zope \
                         -socket zope.soc \
                         -pass-header Authorization
   Options ExecCGI
   SetHandler fastcgi-script

3) Add the flag '-F /tmp/zope.soc' to the zope start-script.
4) Create the empty file /var/www/html/zope, and set the permissions to
   0777.

Restart Zope and Apache, and it should work.
