Well, I figured out a kludge from the "How to backup Zope data base?" thread and from the rc shutdown script. Turns out I needed to remove the Data.fs.*, pcgi.soc, and *.pid files -- leaving ONLY Data.fs and a few others, like the FSSession directory. That got both 2.2.5 and 2.3b1 to start up with my data. Only problem is that all instances of the ZClass I had created in my product (which I named ArticleProduct, btw) are broken in 2.3b1. The product itself appears in the Product Management menu, but even instances of ZClasses within the product are broken. Re-importing ArticleProduct.zexp does no good... I still get that "append" AttributeError (see traceback below). Is this a bug w/ 2.3b1 or am I missing something? Any help? ajl > I'm trying to upgrade to 2.3.0b1 from 2.2.5b1...
