Jurgen, Assuming the Data.fs is intact, you should be able to recover your material. Install a fresh Zope system, put the Data.fs in the usual place (the Zope var directory) and start Zope. I'd do it from the console with debug on so you can see the messages. When you install a new Data.fs you need to remove all the other Data.* files so that they get rebuilt as needed. Also, be certain that the ownership and protections are right on Data.fs. -d On Sat, 5 Mar 2005, Jurgen Defurne wrote:
Hello,
Last summer I wrote an application to inventarise all my media (books, CD's, periodicals, etc) which worked well, but wasn't yet complete. Anyway, I started adding books as an exercise to see how it could be improved.
However, I run Debian testing, and after some updates in the fall I could not get access anymore to my data.
Today I tried to move the contents of Zope default to a known running instance of Zope, but the moment I do that, the Zope instance cannot be started anymore. Replace the contents back by its originals and the instance can be started once again.
So, is there a way to access the contents of the Data.fs file without using Zope alltogether, so that I at least can start working again ?
