Since you upgrade a lot I think you can answer this question. How do you upgrade Zope without losing your data? How do you recommend upgrading Zope?

Thanks Mike Owens

I don't so much upgrade as update my current development copy of Zope. I just do a CVS update, and recompile any new versions of the .c extensions. Upgrading would mean unpacking the new Zope to a new directory, running wo_pcgi or w_pcgi (depending on how you run your previous Zope) and copying any installation specific files from your old Zope to the new one. This includes var/Data.fs.* (if you upgrade from Zope 1 to 2, you must first convert your Data.bbb file and any .bbe files you ay have), your access file (you may want to use zpasswd.py to encrypt the password is it isn't yet), all Products (those not included with a default Zope install) and any External Methods you might have. If you use PCGI, you'll have to make sure that is updated to point to the new install. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
