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. jens On Monday, June 3, 2002, at 12:55 , Kelley, Sean wrote:

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. Can one simply copy the zope database file into a zope install on linux (with same versions of everything of course)? Do files in the zope install directory need to be copied as well? 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. Has anyone any idea on the best approach to a migration like this?
