My configuration: 1. The key is to use INSTANCE_HOME , ex. set it to be /home/zope 2. install products in /home/zope/Products, /home/zope/import 3. untar your zope tar ball in /usr/local/, ex. Zope-2.3.0-src 4. make a symbolic link for zope, ex $cd /usr/local $ln -s Zope-2.3.0-src zope run w_pcgi.py or wo_pcgi.py if build from source now. 5. copy your "start" script from old version to the new installation.ex. $cd /usr/local/zope $cp ../Zope-2.2.4-src/start . (suppose that it contains your INSTANCE_HOME setting) 6. start your new installation This works for ZPattern, ZEO..... Hope it helps. Iap, Singuan
Maybe this has been answered a million times, but I can't find it. What is (generally) the best way to upgrade an existing Zope installation? (Including products, etc.)
Must I export/import everthing, can I just copy the data.fs file or install the new Zope right over the old one (and then recopying the data file)?
