Zope 2 is the latest version. It's got some good stuff in it and the 
installation procedure is easier, I'd download it and start from 
there. You'll need to upgrade to Python 1.5.2

I'd also just run the ZServer variant of Zope - at least you'll get 
started quicker, ie
% ./start
will run a server on port 8080 an FTP server on 8021 and a monitor 
server on 8099

If you're determined to stick with 1.10.3 then you can use the 
ZopeHTTPServer program (from serve.py) - but it's not as good as 
ZServer (DC guys don't recommend running it).

Rewrite rules are deep Apache Voodoo, that also appear to change with 
Apache releases. I think Michel is doing a HowTo on the 
www.zope.org:18200 site that will help.
Really, stick with Zope2 and ZServer initially - at least until 
you've figured out whether Zope is what you want to use.
