+-------[ Garry Saddington ]---------------------- | Before I investigate any further perhaps someone here may be able to | save me a little time. | Is it possible to move a zope installation from one directory to another | and have zope.conf pick up the correct paths dynamically? | I've looked at the zope on a cd but I want the db to be writeable. Not sure what operating system you're using, but, if you're on a unix-like system, you can use a UnionFS mount to overlay the CD with a writable area. You can then either replace the zope.conf with your own one or the Data.fs with a writable one. This assumes you want to run it from the CD and not just copy it to a running Zope. Alternatively you can construct a zope.conf that sets up clienthome variable for the mountpoint with some "known" location (reference to the tmpdir, or a known application area), before you write it to the CD -- Andrew Milton akm@theinternet.com.au
