Migrate your old data to the new Plone

Shutdown your current Plone database

~/Plone-3/zinstance/bin/zopectl stop

Move your empty new data files out of the way

cd ~/Plone-3.1/zinstance/var/filestorage
mkdir original
mv Data* original

Copy your old Plone Data.fs over to the new Plone

cp -r ~/Plone-3/zinstance/var$ cp Data.fs ~/Plone-3.1/zinstance/var/filestorage/

Restart your old Plone

 ~/Plone-3/zinstance/bin$ ./zopectl start

Change your new Plone's port #

vi ~/Plone-3.1/zinstance/parts/instance/etc/zope.conf

Then change the port from 8080 to, say, 8090

Perform the automated ZMI database migrations for each Plone site

Start up your new Plone

 ~/Plone-3.1/zinstance/bin/zopectl start

Then browse to http://yourdomain:8090/manage

Type in your old Plone's un/pw

In the ZMI, browse to each plone site's folder, and click 'portal_migration'

Click the 'Upgrade' button for each plone site.  Each should be successful.  If not, you have some debugging to do.

Go live with your upgraded new Plone site

Shut down your new zope with the ZMI's Control Panel or by .zopectl stop

Change your new Plone's port # back to 8080

vi ~/Plone-3.1/zinstance/parts/instance/etc/zope.conf

Shut down your old Plone

~/Plone-3/zinstance/bin/zopectl stop

Start up your new Plone

~/Plone-3.1/zinstance/bin/zopectl start

Congratulations, now yer gettin' paid!
