Summary of experience updating to Plone 2.5.1 on my home box: 1) 2.5.1-rc1 downloadable found at site above. It's commented as being a _required_ upgrade, despite being labeled /-rc1/. 2) downloaded and untarred to tmp-dir, and just on general principles, I cd'd to Plone-2.5.1-rc1/ and did a _chown -R zope.zope ._ before anything else. 3) did _mv */ /var/lib/zope/Products_ to get the 39 subdirs into the instance/Products dir, as instructed in the CMFPlone/INSTALL.txt file. 4) restart zope and goto the ZMI portal_migration tool. Not that I read explicit instructions to do this -- but I had seen the portal_migration tool before, and gathered that was what I was supposed to do. The instructions on that page said to goto the migrate tab. The page text was confused (I suspect, because of the -rc1): it thought I had the same version installed as was available -- so I had to use _force_, and pick a phony 2.5-rc3 pretend-current-version. Dry run went ok, so I did it for real, and it went to successful completion. 5. I noticed a bang on the portal workspace page for portal_atct (ATContentTypes tool), so I went into that page and noticed a Version Migration tab, and it allowed me to do what was needed, removing the bang. 6. I noticed 2-or-3 _left-over_ products (not migrated because they didn't exist beforehand?) available to install on the quick-install page, so I went to the Plone Add-Products page (I remember reading a recommendation to use the Plone interface rather than the ZMI one), to add these. All ok. 7. Following instructions on the URL that NS posted, I went in ZMI to the portal_memberships page and chose the (new) Portraits tab, which displayed a "Remove Bad Portraits" button. On my system it reported "no bad members found" bottom-line -- all seems ok, no significant glitches (on 2.5) Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
