Hopefully you don't have an initial condition at z=0 ?!
Otherwise, substitute
w(z) = y(ln(z))
first.

Just convert the 2nd order ODE into Cauchy form. You will of course need 2 initial condtions.
Define x, now you original equation is re-written as
, so that means your system of 1st order ODEs is now
Of course we will need to know the form of f(z) to solve.
