Upgrading plone 4.0 to latest

harryconings · March 19, 2019, 2:39pm

Hi,
I have a Intranet site which i want to upgrade from plone 4.0 to 5.1.
The 4.0 is on a centos 5.7 box and i want to move to a centos 7 box .
What is the best way to go ?
thanks
Harry

I'd recommend to upgrade to 4.3 first and see what happens ... if that's working you can give the 5.1 upgrade steps a chance ...

harryconings · March 19, 2019, 2:54pm

Hi,
in documentation 4.0 to 4.1 the say to change setup.py

which setup.py is that ?

install_requires=[ 'setuptools', 'Plone', ],
Thks

petschki · March 19, 2019, 3:17pm

Read carefully ... this is only in case you have Plone somewhere in your setup.py you should change it to Products.CMFPlone ... but as you don't know which setup.py it's likely you do not have these dependencies declared in your theme/addon package.

I'd go with updating your buildout to the https://dist.plone.org/release/4.3-latest/versions.cfg versions and see which addon has to be pinned separately in your local [versions] section ... maybe also the configs from https://github.com/collective/buildout.plonetest help you to get some predefined settings there.

Hi ,
i get following error when i try to go from 4.0 to 4.1
Getting distribution for 'distribute==0.6.16'.
Error: Couldn't find a distribution for 'distribute==0.6.16'.
*************** PICKED VERSIONS ****************
[versions]
any ideas
thanks

index = https://pypi.python.org/simple

Harry,

Judging by your error messages don't bother trying to do a migration on an existing box or one like it. That's an express train to disappointment station or crazy-town.

Before migrating I'd:

make a list of all add-ons you've got running in the old site
uninstall all unnecessary add-ons on migration instance (we're not working on production are we?).

Are you on or have access to VM platform? Best practice would be to target the latest stable release of the distro you work with. Start with the minimum server install and then add:

EPEL and Remi's repos installed and configured (seemed to indicate RHEL based distro).
Install Plone's pre-requisites
download latest Plone 5.x and get a vanilla Plone 5 running
At this point, I'd snapshot/freeze this machine as a starting point
get a notebook or pile of napkins to write your migration notes on

Once you've got a working Plone 5 instance, sync your data.fs and blob files to your migration machine. Check your file permissions, restart Zope and try to run the migration.

Milage may vary, but bare minimum add-on migration usually works best, then you can see what new add-ons meet your needs or choose to move to make you're own (Dexterity all the way).

tkimnguyen · March 20, 2019, 4:22am

@riker11451's suggestions are comprehensive, though you'd be going directly to Plone 5.1.5, which may not work as the upgrade between 4.0 and 5.1.5 isn't a direct path, as mentioned by @petschki

You could certainly install the latest 4.x (4.3.8) onto a Centos 7 box then copy your Data.fs and blobstorage.

harryconings · March 20, 2019, 2:42pm

Hi,
finally i am going to install plone 5.1 on centos7:
then migrate data.fs and blob files
Below my buildout.cfg file of plone 4.0 on centos 5.7. With which eggs will i have trouble in plone 5.1 ?
thanks for the info

I am pretty sure you will have problems with the theme and easy slider, and also Slimbox:

quintagroup.theme.schools
collective.easyslider
Products.PloneSlimbox

Gallerific and zettwerk.ui should also be skipped.

About the others I dont know

For PIL you should NOT pin the version (in fact, you should not use any of these pins

harryconings · March 22, 2019, 3:24pm

i only can install Products.PloneSlimbox
when i do upgrade an mysite:8080
i get following error
How do i migrate a site ?
i cannot upgrade plone 4.0 on centos 5.7
i cannot install a new plone 5.1 on Centos 7 and copy the site?
Any ideas i am getting desperate

espenmn · March 22, 2019, 5:17pm

First things first:

Install Plone 5.1 (without any old stuff) on the new machine
Add a Plone site, see if everything works.
add some add-ons, see if it works
Repeat with other add-ons.
Stop Plone

When you have found which add-ons that do not work in Plone 5, this is what I would do (someone correct me if I am wrong)

Take backup of old site (at least take backup of 'var' folder (zinstance/var)
Uninstall ALL add-ons that did not work. Also the theme, and delete all customizations you have done TTW (remove all files in /portal_skins/custom if you have 'done anything there')
Pack database
Copy the whole 'var' folder to the new server and replace the 'var' folder in your new site with this
Start Plone in debug ( fg )
If it starts you will be asked to upgrade

harryconings · March 25, 2019, 4:12pm

Hi Espen,
i did al the things you pointed out did a uninstall of all things in plone 4.0 i could not instale in plone 5
