Database conversion
I am running Zope 2.10.5 I've just upgraded from Zope 2.7 I would like to move my database to the newly created instance. I followed the very reasonable and clear instructions here, http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Zope/trunk/doc/FAQ.txt (esentially, just moving the Data.fs file) However, the old data does not come up when I bring up the server again. Perhaps the old objects need conversion or some other juju? Any suggestions?

Even within the third new thread on this issue you have not told us about your "old" application. Is it core Zope? Using any third party-products? Please provide details about the things you have installed. We're not good in problem-solving-by-guessing. And please: don't create a new mail thread for followups. You have one issue and one mail thread is enough. We don't need three. Andreas

Maybe, some of them. And it may not be easy. For a long time, Zope supported two "BTree" packages, the old "BTree" and the new "BTrees". Starting with Zope 2.8, support for the old "BTree" package was dropped. Zope 2.8 can no longer read "BTree" instances if you have used them somewhere. *If* this is your problem (your description so far does not indicate it), then you need to make the conversion for "BTree" to "BTrees" in your *old* instance, as Zope 2.8 (and above) can no longer read "BTree" instances. -- Dieter
