Hi We have a designer who has been trying to make our Zope/Plone test site look unique. She has done something that caused some of the Plone icons go missing. I could not fathom how to get it back, so I installed the Bubble Blue icon set from the Plone website, thinking it may replace any missing icons. The instructions said restart Zope, which I did. After the restart Zope reverted to how it was directly after it was installed (SuSE 8.1 RPM). Even the superuser password was back to the default, and all our work is missing. Or can it be retrieved?

Sounds very strange... Seems to be that you've reinstalled your ZOPE in some way. My advice: Don't use any Suse-RPM's for Zope!!! It's really a mess... If you have packed your ZODB recently, you should have a look at Zope/var/Data.fs.old. You can use it to restore your ZODB. Simply copy it to Data.fs and restart your Zope... But maybe you should backup your existing Data.fs before...;) -mj

Have you tried the 'Undo' feature in Zope. Thats what I usually try when I hose something (take away permissions to objects ect.) -- "The wise man desires to be slow to speak but quick to act." --Confucious Jason Bush | (402) 471-6517 | jason@nol.org | http://www.nol.org

this sounds like something changed in your start script. perhaps the start script your restarted with is not pointing to the instance_home and data.fs) that you were using before. The fact that the superuser password has reverted possibly indicates that its not finding the Data.fas file wwith which you were working. hth <--> george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - "We Love Newbies" :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - ICQ: 51907738 - e:george@zettai.net
Garhard, You may find it helpful to examine Data.fs with some of the utility tools in $INSTANCE_HOME/utilities and $INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python/ZODB. You need to know whether the Data.fs was recreated or modified. Looking at the transactions will help. If it was modified, and undoing the transactions does not work, you can use the transaction log to locate the size of the Data.fs immediately prior to the disaster. If you truncate the Data.fs at that point, later transactions will be removed. This assumes, of course, that you have not compacted the Data.fs in the interim. One other thing -- if you have compacted the Data.fs recently, Data.fs.old contains a copy of the database before compaction. On Wed, 22 Jan 2003, Gerhard Venter wrote:

I expect, you Zope is now locking at a different place than before (maybe because an "INSTANCE_HOME" variable is set differently).
Check where Zope finds its "Data.fs". To do that, go to "Control_Panel" and note the "CLIENT_HOME" value. The "Data.fs" is the file "Data.fs" in this directory. Check whether this is the correct place. If it is, check whether you have backups for it. If it is not, then your right "Data.fs" must be elsewhere. Define "INSTANCE_HOME", such that Zope finds it.
