Thanks. So does that mean that I should copy the skins directories from the Windows machine to the linux machine to get everything I currently have in my windows installation? -Sean
Subject: Re: [Zope] windows->linux migration
if your new zope instance on linux has the same products installed then migration involves the following:
- copy Data.fs into the new instance - start the new instance
...and if you have CMF instances in your ZODB already you must go to each CMF skins tool and adjust the "Filesystem Path" property for every Filesystem Directory View object so that the correct path separator is used.

Hi, I am setting up a Zope/CMF based intranet on Windows 2000 and wish to be able to migrate to Linux in the future. I am trying to get an idea of what is required.

I noticed (I am new to CMF) that many CMF things are referenced off of the file system instead of the ZODB which make me think I will need to at least copy some files over.

the (filesystem) skins directories are usually part of a filesystem product, so they are accessible if you have the same product installed on the new setup. the "custom" ZODB-based skins directories are in the ZODB that you copy across, anyway. jens On Monday, June 3, 2002, at 01:42 , Kelley, Sean wrote:

there is a little anoyance to be aware of: the path to the skins is stored with the directory view. Since windows and linux use different path separator the path is allways wrong on the "other" system. This can be easily rectified by manually editing each skins respective property.

No, everything is copied when transferring the Data.fs. But be sure to alter the backslashes into slashes in the filesystempaths of all your standard CMF skin folders. You can see the filesystempath using the 'properties' tab of the skin folders. See also preavious posts about this subject in the Zope-CMF mailing list
