You forgot to tell Zope that it is accessed from somewhere behind apache;
thus Zope thinks it is accessed from localhost:8080, and starts all
absolute Url's with "http://localhost:8080"
 You should install a "SiteAccess" object for fixing this.

So far I never tried that, but some other people did it with
VirtualHostMonster:
