It did not pick up the python 1.5 in the zope instal..anyone else had that prob. help me please...I am going out to try and solve it.. thanks in advance karl Munroe -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Thomas B.

I want to upgrade Zope 2.2.4 to Zope 2.3.2. I do not want to move to 2.4 yet. I have tried to use the How-to upgrade zope 2.x but it was of very little help....has anyone done it successfully??
Not those exact versions but similar ones, including from 2.1.6 to 2.3.x. I have gone through a series of upgrades, five or six in all. At first I simply backed up my data.fs file and used it to replace to new one put in by the new version installation. Lately, I have been exporting the whole folder tree and importing that int0 the new installation at one shot, AFAIR. Either way, I install the new Zope into a new directory. Don't forget to copy over any products you have installed, and any external methods. Make sure you delete any *.pyc files in the external methods folder. I haven't had any problems. Of course, make sure you keep a working copy of data.fs just in case! I'm not sure how well the export/import would work from 2.3+ to 2.4+, though. Some things get pickled for the export, and supposedly pickling is not compatible between Python versions. Anyone know for sure if that's correct?
