RE: [Zope] Advice on upgrade?
I *JUST* did that myself :) What I did: - configure and install the core Zope 2.7.2 - create a new 2.7.2 instance - copy over the products (Both core and instance) - edit the zope.conf - copy over the data.fs done! worked great for me.

I am unclear on the upgrade process. I would like to upgrade from Zope 2.7 to 2.7.2. Platform is Fedora Core 1 with Python 2.3. installed. I have two directories /var/zope2.7 and /var/zope-instance I will install the new version to /var/zope2.7.2 How can I make use of my existing /var/zope-instance? Or is it best to recreate a new instance from scratch?

Yikes. That is exactly what I did (i think), but no luck. The new zope is not even producing a log, though it seems to run. Harlow Pinson Indepth Learning Email: hpinson@indepthl.com Web: http://www.indepthl.com Voice: 505-994-2135 FAX: 208-475-7678

Your other email was closer so I'll reply there... Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
Thanks Chris-- don't want to indulge in any masochism just now (at least any more than I have to)! I did what you said, and my zope is now upgraded, along with Plone from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 So here's what I did for the upgrade from 2.7 to 2.7.2. Installed the new core to /var/zope272 sitting alongside the old core which is in /var/zope27 Used the old /var/zope-instance (thank goodness!): I had to edit the first few lines of zope.conf to point to the new core. Also, as you suggested, I edited runzope and zopectl, again pointing to the new zope core. However on startup, the old zope was still being used. Turns out I had an errant zopectl script sitting in /etc/rc.d/init.d which pointed to the old zope core. Removing that solved the problem. I'm guessing others are stuggling with a upgrade a bit too. Any suggestions on how to add this procedure to the online Zope Book 2.7 edition? I would be happy to write it up.

Ouch, yeah, that should always be simlinked and not copied for that very reason!

If you could send me your proposed changes, I'd be happy to make them, provided Mark Pratt doesn't shout at me again ;-) Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
