[NCSA-discuss] A database recovery question on Zope/Plone

[Liyun Yu]

Interesting is that with Zope/Plone, I moved the database
to where it should be <incidents>/var/Data.fs but the web server
did not complain about it, did not report error of it, did not
translate the contents to the web site either. That is where
I got lost. The installation of Zope/Plone will just over write
what was there in their default path therefore the old database
file system will be erased by default. I did not know if there
is any option to let me "upgrade" from there.

Thanks,

Liyun

When the software is installed with the old database it picks it's existence and use's it, might even have to upgrade the existing data to a new format.
