I have to upgrade to a new server and I export my zope in the xml file using the export option. On the old system I use zope 2.7 and python 2.4.3, on the new system I use opensuse 10.2 with python 2.4.4 (recompiled by me) and zope 2.10. When I try to import the file I receive the following error : Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Error Type: UnicodeDecodeError Error Value: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa1 in position 34: ordinal not in range(128) And in the log : 2007-07-20T11:26:06 ERROR Zope.SiteErrorLog http://10.0.1.130:9673/manage_importObject Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 119, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 42, in call_object Module OFS.ObjectManager, line 609, in manage_importObject Module OFS.ObjectManager, line 626, in _importObjectFromFile Module ZODB.ExportImport, line 65, in importFile Module OFS.XMLExportImport, line 114, in importXML Module Shared.DC.xml.xyap, line 58, in unknown_endtag Module Shared.DC.xml.ppml, line 626, in save_object UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa1 in position 34: ordinal not in range(128) I tried to find any recurrence of xa1 in the xml file but I did not find anything. Any help please. Thanks -- Vittorio Manfredini
