Reinstall system for use with Zope
Hi all, during the holidays our server went down: two drives of a raid-5 system on a PowerApp 120 failed. It seems our server kept running solely on it's RAM memory, but it finally died this morning. Mayor bummer because I have to reinstall everything from scratch, there goes my weekend. We were using zope 2.5.1 and CMF 1.3 with Apache 1.3.23 on RedHat 7.3 Our Data.fs file has been backed up, I hope we can recuperate that one :-) We now have the opportunity to upgrade to whatever is best. Here are some questions: 1. I'm not sure wheiter to use RH7.3, 8.0 or 9.0 (I've seen some issues with 9.0 on the mailing list) 2. Also I'm thinking of installing Zope 2.6.1 or 2.6.2b5 in stead of 2.5.1. 3. Is there a difference between Apache 1.3.X and Apache 2.X regarding the communication with Zope? Any suggestions are very welcome. WKR, Roel. - - - Roel Van den Bergh This email and any attached files are confidential and may be legally privileged.

2. Also I'm thinking of installing Zope 2.6.1 or 2.6.2b5 in stead of 2.5.1.
The 2.6.1 upgrade is good. If you have an old ZODB (like from around 2.3) there's a chance you will experience problems. I did. Others haven't. You'll find out real fast, in any case. Dunno about 2.6.2x in this respect. I would go ahead with 2.6.2b5. It is very likely to be exactly the same as the eventual 2.6.2, and, if not, will be a very trivial upgrade. When it comes to maintenance releases, one should not be afraid to be on the ball. --jcc -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."
