I am not aware of any such problem. I am able to run Plone and ZWiki
within Plone on the VM that a keep on my own server for my local use.

I am inclined to agree with Waldek.  It always seemed to me that
introducing Plone aka "AxiomPortal" was essentially a failure - except
of course Ralf was one person who did manage to use it seriously.

I always thought it might be a good idea to base a new "Axiom Wiki" on
the Media Wiki software that is used by Wikipedia.  It certain is
active and mature enough now while at the mean time ZWiki as a live
project has all but disappeared and Zope and Plone have moved on to
much newer, revised, and mostly incompatible versions based on a new
generation of Zope.
