Plone, one of the best Open Source CMS, is celebrating its day this November 7, a lot of activities are planned in different cities all around the world in order to promote, meet and discover the possibilities of this software in goverment, business and education.

If you are new or you don’t know anything about Plone, take some time and give it a try, yes it’s one of the hardest to develop, but once you get in… it’s harder to get out!

I’m working with Zope/Plone in SEMIC Internet, so following the open source community spirit, we are goint to sponsor WPD too and maybe doing something in Lleida.

Some days ago I had to move a Plone Site from one filesystem to another, both in the same Zope instance in a linux PC with Zope 2.10.6-final, python 2.4.5, and Plone 3.1.2

Everything seemed to go well, I made a cut/paste from an entire Plone Site that was in the main Data.fs because I needed to put in another database, called Data-sitename.fs and after that, the site worked perfectly, but… some hours later I made a database pack in order to clean all the Plone instances removing old objects.

Just after pressing the pack button in the new Data-sitename.fs, ups! something went wrong:

Error Type: POSKeyError
Error Value: 0x484b

As a result of that, the new Data-sitename.fs was corrupted and the Plone Site inside was gone :(

Be careful! do not cut or copy/paste a Plone Site from a filesystem to another one in the same Zope, instead of that, do a Export/Import and it will work :)
