Congrats on the first (paying) Zope job.

Get the SSL set up on Apache w/o any special Zope setup first. Depending
on your setup, SSL can be a snap (w/RPM install), or it can mean
recompiling half of the world.

walks through install SSL + install of VirtualHostMonster.

is a simple fix to make it easier to use https for absolute_urls.

Good luck.
