While it would be ideal for one set of instructions to serve 
every possible requirement, in reality it will be best for 
you to provide as much detail as you can about the specific 
scenario you are facing.

For starters:

What Operating System will Zope be hosted on?

What Database "backend" do you need to connect to?

Will the Database be resident on the same system as Zope?

If not, what Operating System will be hosting the Database?

Get back to the list with the answers, and anything else you 
think might help, plus what you have already tried, that 
hasn't worked.
