Playing with Zope, I've managed to break it. When I try to go to the Root Folder I see: Error Type: POSKeyError Error Value: 00000000000009e This was while playing with versions. 1) Any idea what I may have done to cause this? 2) How can I back out from this (the undo panel is letting me down here)? I guess I may be re-installing!

Ugh, here we go again... Search the mailing list archive for recent complaints about Versions.
1) Any idea what I may have done to cause this?
Yes, you played with versions :( It's possible that versions may be disabled by default in upcoming zope releases due to many recurring problems. This is still under discussion.
2) How can I back out from this (the undo panel is letting me down here)?
what version of Zope?
I guess I may be re-installing!

It seems to be a very powerful tool - though if it fubars Zope, maybe not.

Ah. Practice makes perfect. Off to re-instal then. Thanks Simon Forster ___________________________________________________ LDML Ltd, Office One, 16 Canham Road, London, W3 7SR, UK Tel: +44 (0)20 8749 7766 Fax: +44 (0)70 9230 5247 ___________________________________________________

Asking questions is never a problem! :) It's more that "versions broke my zope" is a recurring theme on the list... and the most frequent response is "Don't do that then". The mailing list archives are very useful. I use the searchable archive at nipltd.com, but there are other archives around.

There's no question it's a useful idea - particularly for making updates to a "live" site. But even though some bugs have been fixed in very recent CVS, I'm left with a general sense that versions are not trustworthy and I don't have time to thoroughly test-drive them, so I don't use 'em. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look!

Ahh. Yes. If... I don't believe I've got to that bit of the Zope Book yet. Simon Forster ___________________________________________________ LDML Ltd, Office One, 16 Canham Road, London, W3 7SR, UK Tel: +44 (0)20 8749 7766 Fax: +44 (0)70 9230 5247 ___________________________________________________

Even when you have not packed, you do not need to reinstall Zope. Just copy "Data.fs.in" to "Data.fs" in your "var" folder. That resets the ZODB content to the initial state. You may also need to create an "inituser" or "access" file (to be able to login again). There is a HowTo about "emergency user" explaining how to do that. Dieter

In Zope 2.6.2, the most pressing "Version" bugs should have been fixed. There are still some security issues open. Dieter
