In the "utilities" directory there is a program that converts from bbb to fs. Sorry, I don't remember which one or how it works, but this should point you in the right direction. -- Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Nielsen" <Jeff@UgoFast.com> To: "Zope" <zope@zope.org> Sent: July 27, 2000 11:07 PM Subject: [Zope] Moving site from dev to prod.

I can't quite seem to figure out how to move my web site from my development machine to my production machine with Zope v2.1.x. Under Zope v1.0.9, I simply copy the data.bbb file. Under Zope v2.1.x, this file seems to be data.fs, but copying it doesn't seem to work as I get a NameError on REQUEST. I've also tried to use the import/export capability, but I can't figure out how to get the entire site to export. I been through the zope.org sites, docs and recent emails, but can't seem to find guidance on this topic.

My development machine is Zope v2.1.4 on NT and the production machine is Zopev2.1.6 on NT. Both installs use FSSession v0.3.1 and LocalFS v0.1.5

If someone could guide me to documentation, or give me the basics of what needs to happen, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Thats an interesting question.... most of the time for my work i just pack the zodb copy the fs file into a new system and it works... I wonder where you getting this request error. it could be related to internal changes in the zope machinery esp if its in an SQL method. generally most stuff in the Zope should transfer over pretty seamless between the two. There were some issues with the namespace security issues that were fixed between 2.1.4-.6 See the changelog for details Kapil Jeff Nielsen wrote:
