RE: [Zope] RE: Left Menu (Frame) on ZMI not displaying (ARGH!!!!)
This is true enough, I copied over the Zope instance ... so then, am I to conclude that there is no safe way to move a Zope installation to a new server?! I mean, I checked to make sure all the RPMS on both servers (both running RH FC2) were at same versions. And it WAS working on the new server for 3 days before this problem reared its ugly head.... :( Paul -----Original Message----- From: Chris McDonough [mailto:chrism@plope.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 10:33 AM To: Paul Sue Cc: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] RE: Left Menu (Frame) on ZMI not displaying (ARGH!!!!)

Well, I moved Data.fs from the working server to the new server (after shutting Zope down on both of course) and the problem STILL persists!!!! This is really frustrating .. I mean, it worked fine for 3 days then suddenly doesn't work .. no errors in logs, what the ????
The suggestion to move over Data.fs was an uneducated guess. I'm not suprised it didn't work.
ANynody have any last suggestions before I resort to re-installing everything fresh from source???
But you didn't ever actually install on the system that is having problems, did you? You just copied the Zope files over from another system, right? Try installing instead. Installing Zope from source takes about 3 - 5 minutes for me on a reasonably fast system, so it shouldn't be much of a hardship, and will get rid of a potential "problem vector" (different libraries or library versions being installed on the different systems). - C

No, I've done it many times. Most of the time copying the files over just works. But I've had various problems doing it from time to time, and when I do, I chalk it up to library incompatibility and I just rerun the installation. FWIW, copying files as a way of installing Zope is not a supported installation mechanism. If it works, great. If it doesn't, I reinstall. Doing any other sort of analysis if that works seems to be a waste of time to me. Note that handling dependency issues and file installation in an organized way is the domain, for Fedora, of RPM. There is indeed a Fedora Zope RPM for 2.7.3 at https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1701 . Maybe using the RPM would be more palatable for you?

Nobody really knows (too many variables). You're literally right but if you've made a mistake and they're not exactly the same in some critical way, there could be a problem. Or maybe some files didn't get copied or were copied with improper permissions. Nobody but you can know. - C
