After a bit of searching I found this link: http://dist.plone.org/archive/Plone-2.0.5.tar.gz You should be able to verify the version of Plone on your old server by looking through the Products folder in your filesystem and finding the Product called CMFPlone, then looking for the version.txt file in there. It's been a while since I looked at an installation that old, so this part is from memory ;-) HTH, -- Larry Pitcher Catapult Solutions Web: www.catapultsolutions.net Email: [email protected] Skype: larry.pitcher Phone: 509.849.2660 _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
