I ran into this problem as well.  The solution for me (using ZopeHTTPServer
behind Apache) was to tell it explicitly what its SERVER_NAME, SERVER_PORT
and SCRIPT_NAME environment variables are, then use them to construct URLs
in my DocumentTemplates.  Note that since I'm only using ZopeHTTPServer I
don't have to worry about incorrect BASE tags showing up in my documents'
<head>s.
