As someone else already said: we need precise descriptions of
the error behaviour.


One approach may be: you build a standard Plone installation
and get it working (without your database).

After that you mount your database into the working installation
and explore its content.

I expect that you find something about "mounting" in the Zope Book
(2.7 edition on "plope.org") -- but I am not sure.
