+[[!meta title="How to create a static dump of a plone site"]]
+
+
+Some of you may remember that my previous site was a
+[plone](http://plone.org/)-site, running on top
+of [zope](http://www.zope.org/). After a lof of
+problems to convert third party products to
+plone version 3, I gave up running plone for my
+personal site and switched to [ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info/).
+
+Some time ago I realised that I am miss some information
+that was stored in that beast. So it was time, to find
+the old setup, containing plone-2.5.1, a lot of plone products
+and the Data.fs, the [ZODB](http://www.zodb.org/).
+
+## First try: Get it running on the same system
+
+So the same server that hosted the website is still
+up and running. It is always updated to contain the
+most recent software and trying to run the old
+startup script revealed the first problem:
+
+The Python interpreter does not exist anymore as
+**/usr/bin/python24**. Searching through all files and
+replacing it with **/usr/bin/python** revealed a new problem:
+Zope is not installed anymore...
+
+## Second try: Create a fresh installation of Plone-2.5.1 in a VM
+
+So I tried the **Universal Linux/BSD/UNIX installer**
+for [Plone 2.5.1](http://plone.org/products/plone/releases/2.5.1).
+Oops, the link is dead. The first working version is
+[Plone 2.5.4](http://plone.org/products/plone/releases/2.5.4),
+so let's try this one.
+
+After the usual install process, Zope + Zeo are working. Hooray!
+
+## Importing the old data
+
+After stopping the so called **cluster** with shutdowncluster.sh,
+I copied over Data.fs from the archive and successfully
+restarted zeo. To import the **Products** folder from the previous
+version, I had to bypass two pitfalls:
+
+ * First of all, the complete new **Products** folder had to be removed,
+   because overwriting only a part with the old data creates a weired
+   product inconsistency.
+ * Secondly, the compiled python files (*** *.pyc ***) had to be
+   removed:
+
+    find Products -name \*.pyc -exec rm {} \;
+
+And finally, after restarting the zope instances, my data was available
+again!
+
+## Creating a static dump

+After searching around, which program to use to create a s
+
+[[!tag plone unix]]

+## idea 1
+- zeo nico / starten
+- zope nico / starten
+
+## idea 2
+
+- forget zeo
+- retrieve plone package and start with data.fs directly  -> Plone-2.5.2-1
+
+## idea 3
+
+- like 2, but with 2.5.3
+- link dead
+
+## idea 4
+
+- like previous, but with 2.5.4
