Once you tell apache to redirect to http://localhost:8080/, zope will take over since apache is only configured to listen to port 80. Therefore, apache does not need to know if there is or there isnt data in the said directory.

No, you don't create a virtual host. If there is a htaccess file in that directory, apache will read it (unless you tell it to disregard htaccess files, which i am not sure hows its done :-) and effect those rules in that htaccess file before it does anything else.

Come to think of it, apache only returns what it is asked for, if it does not find what it was asked for, it returns a 404 error

Using htaccess, apache will not know about the existence of Zope because it does not need to. Infact, according to the Zope website, Zope can work without apache.

How do you point Apache to the Zope site? Maybe I did not phrase my question well.
Do you create a VirtualHost? If you have a .htaccess in a directory, you still need to tell Apache that the said directory contains some content, ama nimechanganyikiwa? :)
