How do you upgrade zope without affecting your current database? Just copy it into the new var-directory?
In general you should be able to copy a Zope database to a new installation by copying all the var/Data.* files. You shouldn't copy any of those var/pcgi.* files over. Whenever you handle var files you should be aware of permission issues. The rule is that the userid that Zope runs as needs to have read & write permissions to the var directory and all files in it. Another way to upgrade a site is to simply install it over the old site. I believe that this should not overwrite the var/Data.* files. But I'm not totally sure of this, so I would *highly* recommend backing up your var/Data.* files first. -Amos
