Upgrade Plone 4.3.1 to Plone 4.3.15 on Windows

Adomy · October 25, 2018, 1:28pm

Hi Kim,
You explained to a member that you upgraded from plone 4.3.1 on Windows to plone 4.3.15 using the buildout of 4.3.15 tar.gz.

Please, how did you proceed?
In addition, did you need to install Mocrosoft Visual C ++ and Python 2.7 for example on your system?

In addition, someone else was able to update to plone 4.3.15 then 4.3.18.
Hotfixes are essential at every stage or only at the end?

Thanks in advance

tkimnguyen · October 27, 2018, 4:50am

To see which hotfixes are available and apply to a version of Plone, go to https://plone.org/security and look at the link called Available Hotfixes

I don’t recall exactly what I did but I probably edited the buildout.cfg and changed the version of Plone that is pinned.

Can you give us a link to the post you refer to?

Thank you for your reply.

Unless I’m mistaken, in that thread i mentioned the Windows installer for Plone that worked with Plone 5. I’m not sure it works correctly now for 5.1 but the unified installer that @smcmahon maintains works with the latest 5.1

tkimnguyen · October 27, 2018, 4:47pm

What @IntranetGWT did was take the *.cfg files from the Plone 4.3.15 unified installer and copy them to his 4.3.whatever installation and reran the buildout executable

If you’d like help, please provide step by step detailed command lines you run, and the complete text of errors you encounter.

Adomy · October 28, 2018, 8:54pm

Thank you for your reply.
I will try as soon as possible.

I tried to provide you with all the information.
In advance I thank you for your help.
I know it's a bit long :-)!

hvelarde · November 8, 2018, 1:13pm

seems your old Plone was built using Python 2.6; I have never run Plone on top of Windows, but IMO you'll need to bootstrap your buildout again using the right versions of Python and setuptools in order to succeed.

maybe other can point you on the right direction.

dieter · November 8, 2018, 6:54pm

You can ignore the SyntaxError on "PC No 1" (the installation process sometimes tries to compile things which are not normal Python files). Looks for me as if the buildout run on "PC No 1" has been successful.

The buildout run fails on your "PC No 2" and "PC No 3" due to a version conflict: likely the setuptools version used by buildout itself is different from that required in the versions section. I see two possibilities:

You copy the installation from "PC No 1" to the other PCs. As the buildout artefacts may contain absolute file paths, this will likely only succeed if the location is the same on all PCs. But you may be able to run the copied buildout (even at a different place) and get a working Plone.
You override the setuptools version in a versions section of your own such that Plone and buildout use the same version. Of course, this might pose problems at a later time.

tkimnguyen · November 10, 2018, 2:16am

@Adomy do you still need help with this topic? I'm trying to mark the resolved ones by renaming the topic title to include '[RESOLVED]'...

Adomy · November 10, 2018, 11:01am

Hi Kim,
I will try to apply the advice of Hvelarde and Dieter, then I will give feedback.

Thanks for your interest.

Adomy · November 10, 2018, 12:45pm

Hello ,
I realized that in reality the result on PC No1 was a little misleading.
Indeed when I change the version numbers in "version.cfg" and "base.cfg", then I get the following results:

comment out "buildout.cfg" the line "versions.cfg" only I get the error

C:\Users\Purnata>cd \

C:>cd C:\Plone43

C:\Plone43>bin\buildout.exe
While:
Installing.
Loading extensions.
Error: There is a version conflict.
We already have: setuptools 0.6c11

C:\Plone43> »

comment out both "buildout.cfg" the lines "base.cfg" and "versions.cfg", I get the error:

C:\Users\Purnata>cd \

C:>cd C:\Plone43

C:\Plone43>bin\buildout.exe
While:
Installing.
Loading extensions.
Error: There is a version conflict.
We already have: setuptools 0.6c11

C:\Plone43> »

It seems that I find the suggestion of Hvelardeconsistant to "bootstrap your buildout again using the correct version of python”.
In this case python 2.7.15 I imagine.

Please, concretely, how can I "bootstrap" the buildout on Windows with python 2.7.15?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

dieter · November 10, 2018, 4:17pm

Fetch a modern bootstrap.py for buildout, e.g. from github. Put it in your buildout directory (where there is also your buildout.cfg). Run it there with the Python version, you want to use (which must have been installed beforehand).

It might be necessary to use bootstrap.py command line arguments to specify which version of setuptools and zc.buildout should be used. You likely find those versions in the versions.cfg. python bootstrap.py --help likely tells you all about bootstrap.py's command line options.

Adomy · November 10, 2018, 8:11pm

Thank you very much for the clarification.
I will do this as soon as possible.

Thanks again.

Adomy · November 15, 2018, 4:13pm

Hello everyone
I'm not sure I did it right.

In my attempt to update Plone 4.3.1 to Plone 4.3.15, and following your kind advice, I retrieved the bootstrap.py file that I dropped in the same directory as buildout.cfg.

Then I try to run as follows:
"Python bootstrap.py setuptools --version = 26.1.1 zc.buildout -version = 2.5.3"

I have the error message:

C: \ WINDOWS \ system32> cd \

"C: > python bootstrap.py setuptools --version = 26.1.1 zc.buildout --version = 2.5.3
python: can not open file 'bootstrap.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory "

C: >

I said that I modified the buildout.cfg, version.cfg and base.cfg files with Plone 4.3.15

Thank you in advance for your help

Hello everyone
I also tried: "python bootstrap.py -c buildout.cfg setuptools -version = 26.1.1 zc.buildout --version = 2.5.3"

The result is the same:
"C: > bootstrap.py python -c buildout.cfg setuptools --version = 26.1.1 zc.buildout --version = 2.5.3
python: can not open file 'bootstrap.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory "

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

dieter · November 15, 2018, 7:12pm

That is not completely right.

First of all, you must be in the folder where your bootstrap.py lies in order to run python bootstrap.py .... Otherwise, you will get something like "file not found 'bootstrap.py'".

Second, the options to specify the setuptools and zc.buildout versions are not correct. Run python bootstrap.py --help to learn how these options are called.

Finally, the option values wil likely not be correctly understood. The bootstrap.py will likely recognize --<option>=<value> (with not intervening blanks) and --<option> <value>.

Adomy · November 15, 2018, 7:33pm

Actually, I was not in the folder of Plone43.
So I proceed so to have the help of the available options:

C: \ Users \ Purnata> cd \

C: > cd C: \ Plone43

C: \ Plone43> python bootstrap.py --help
File "bootstrap.py", line 7
<! DOCTYPE html>
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

C: \ Plone43>
Thanks in advance.

dieter · November 15, 2018, 8:58pm

Something went wrong with the download of bootstrap.py. What you have is almost surely an HTML document -- likely the HTML view of the "github" page I have cited in a former message. You must download the bootstrap.py source text, not the HTML view. "github" will have some action to do this. Look around on the page to find it.

Adomy · November 21, 2018, 10:29am

Thanks for your help.
I recovered a priori the good "bootstrap.py".
By putting myself in the "buildout.cfg" folder, I run "bootstrap.py".
I send you the result below.

Sorry, I obviously did not use the right "bootstrap.py" script.
Here is the one on the GitHub page designated by Dieter (thanks).
