hi, i needed to reinstall my zope site on another computer so i installed (in debian) plone-site using aptitude ... it automatically makes a new instance and starts the server.
after that i stopped the server ... and copied my site (instance folder) from the other computer over this one.
when i start /etc/init.d/zope2.9 start ... it doesn't complain , but i can't open the site. (same instance names, same port number )
Use 'zopectl fg' to run it in the foreground and see what errors you get.
i tryied another aproach ... copied back the default installed instance ... and only overwritten the var folder with the data from the original site.
this way i hoped that Data.fs which contained all my objects ... will automatically become visible.
it doesn't work this way either, it only sees the default objects, i can access the site ... but all my objects are not visible.
It's generally much more helpful if you say exactly what is not "visible" -- and where. As is, this is pretty much information-free.
grep shows that the names of the objects & folders are still in Data.fs ... so they exist ... i think i missed one configuration somewhere ... to make the folders added by me visible.
do you know how can i achieve that?
You may be missing a Product. Visit the Zope Control Panel and look for a "broken box". Alternately, are there broken object icons in the ZMI for those objects which are not "visible"? --jcc -- Connexions http://cnx.org "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com
