$ln -s /path_to_products/ /path_to_zope_instance/Prodcuts/ ^^ There's your problem. But I did not write that! Someone else wrote/suggested that!! My symlinks were fine. I ripped them all out :) I emptied the Plone-2.5.0 dir and dropped it all in the main Products dir. Then I stopped Zope and used "runzope" to track errors. I got a number of them, one quoted below. Here are the packages I had to take out of the Products dir to get Zope to boot:

ATContentTypes CMFPlone Marshall ATReferenceBrowserWidget CMFQuickInstallerTool MimetypesRegistry Archetypes CMFSetup PasswordResetTool CMFActionIcons CMFTopic PloneLanguageTool CMFCalendar CMFUid PlonePAS CMFCore DCWorkflow PluggableAuthService CMFDefault PortalTransforms CMFDynamicViewFTI Five ResourceRegistries CMFFormController GenericSetup CMFPlacefulWorkflow GroupUserFolder In other words, almost everything! (The other prods have showed up in the Zope.) Here's a typical error message from trying to load one of them: 2006-08-21T17:43:03 ERROR(200) Zope Could not import Products.ATContentTypes Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 673, in import_product product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/__init__.py", line 35, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.config import HAS_LINGUA_PLONE File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/config.py", line 30, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.configuration import zconf File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/configuration/__init__.py", line 25, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.configuration.config import zconf File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/configuration/config.py", line 29, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.configuration.schema import atctSchema File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/configuration/schema.py", line 29, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.configuration import datatype File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/configuration/datatype.py", line 25, in ? from Products.CMFCore import permissions as CMFCorePermissions ImportError: cannot import name permissions Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py", line 50, in ? run() File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py", line 19, in run start_zope(opts.configroot) File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/Zope/Startup/__init__.py", line 52, in start_zope starter.startZope() File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/Zope/Startup/__init__.py", line 231, in startZope Zope.startup() File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py", line 47, in startup _startup() File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/Zope/App/startup.py", line 45, in startup OFS.Application.import_products() File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 650, in import_products import_product(product_dir, product_name, raise_exc=debug_mode) File "/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 673, in import_product product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/__init__.py", line 35, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.config import HAS_LINGUA_PLONE File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/config.py", line 30, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.configuration import zconf File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/configuration/__init__.py", line 25, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.configuration.config import zconf File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/configuration/config.py", line 29, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.configuration.schema import atctSchema File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/configuration/schema.py", line 29, in ? from Products.ATContentTypes.configuration import datatype File "/usr/local/zope/instance2/Products/ATContentTypes/configuration/datatype.py", line 25, in ? from Products.CMFCore import permissions as CMFCorePermissions ImportError: cannot import name permissions TIA, beno
