Recovering from Data.fs
Hi, I'm trying to recover a zope instance from a hardware failure. The only thing I have left is the backed up Data.fs file. I'm not entirely sure which version of Zope was used but I think it was 2.9 (certainly not 3), or what the install paths were for the instance or zope. When I try and use the backed Data.fs in a new zope instance I get the following error: Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: __getitem__
From my understanding the paths for the zope instance have to be the same for Data.fs to work correctly. Is that correct? If so how can I determine what version of zope was being used and what the paths were for the backed up Data.fs?
Thanks in advance, Rowan

We need the full traceback. Look in your new instance, for the event log in the logs/ dir. That should contain the error and the full traceback.

No, Data.fs should be portable. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

Yup, need to crete plain new Zope instance and put your data.fs into var directory. After this start Zope and take a look into ControlPanel->ProductManagement to see if you have broken (or not installed at all) products. You might also lack external methods from Extensions/ folder. Of course you need to know user and password to log into ZMI. You may create new one in zopectl with useradd (or adduser I don't remember) command. -- Maciej Wisniowski

Needless to say you should keep an original copy of your Data.fs on a safe place while you do the above tests. You should be save, but you never know :-) Regards Tino
