Have a look at the configuration section of the zope book:
http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/InstallingZope.stx#1-13

But since your instance has some old-style gunk you'll
want to make sure you get the new-style scripts and config files
in place. To do that, the easiest thing is probably:

- shut down zope.
- make a backup copy of your existing instance.
- delete all files in INSTANCE_HOME/etc and INSTANCE_HOME/bin
  (you did make that backup right??)
- go to your ZOPE_HOME, /usr/local/zope/278
- run "./bin/mkzopeinstance.py
- follow the prompts. When it asks for Directory,
  give your full INSTANCE_HOME path.
- Edit INSTANCE_HOME/etc/zope.conf.
  There will be lots of comments in there explaining
  the various directives. Hopefully you can figure
  out how the various things in your old zope.conf
  translate to the new format.
