Hi Folks, I've been digging through the website, and I can't find anything
that really tells me what I need to know, but if it's there, please lmk.

I've been tasked with restoring a zope installation that was on a failed
raid array a month back.  I've got a new box up, running latest debian,
etc, and the default zope installation will come up (debian runs zope
apparently on 9674 instead of 8080), but I cannot get the old zope instance
to come up at all.

On the old server, zope was in /var/lib/zope2.7/, it's now in /var/lib/zope.
 The old server was using mostly just the default instance, in
instances/default.  As far as I've gotten right now is try and copy the old
'default' instance to the new zope/instances directory, and use zopectl to
bring it up.  The Data.fs file in the old installation is 1.7G, so there's
a lot of data in there that is desperately needed.

I've used zope before, mostly with the cms plone, but I've never run into
issues of this kind.

Thanks a bunch for any help you can give me, on-list or off.

Colin
