You can install different version of Plone in the same server. The question is how to run more than one zope server at the same time.. Below I am describing how I have installed Plone-2.5.5 and Plone-3.0.6 in same machine.
First we try to install Plone-2.5.5
1. Download the Plone-2.5.5-UnifiedInstaller.tgz frm Here
2. Extract the package.
3. Open terminal– change directory to the extracted folder and type
sudo ./install.sh
it will install the plone 2.5 in /opt/Plone-2.5.5
if you fail .. read the readme.txt file and try to install
4. Edit the file at INSTANCE_HOME/etc/zope.conf
There find this:
…………
<http-server>
# valid keys are “address” and “force-connection-close”
address 8080
# force-connection-close on
</http-server>
…………..
There you can set the address to any port you like ..
then restart zinstance
in browser you can test :
http://localhost:PORT_NUMBER/manage
if PORT_NUMBER IS 8080 then url will be
http://localhost:8080/manage
@@@@@@@@@@@@@##############
Now we will install Plone-3.0.6
1. Download the Plone-3.0.6-UnifiedInstaller.tgz frm here
2. Extract the package.
3. Open terminal– change directory to the extracted folder and type
./install.sh standalone
it will install the plone 3.0.6 in home/user/ folder
if you fail .. read the readme.txt file and try to install
4. Edit the file at INSTANCE_HOME/etc/zope.conf
There find this:
…………
<http-server>
# valid keys are “address” and “force-connection-close”
address 8080
# force-connection-close on
# You can also use the WSGI interface between ZServer and ZPublisher:
# use-wsgi on
</http-server>
…………..
There you can set the address to any port you like .. For example I have set it to 7575
Like this:
<http-server>
# valid keys are “address” and “force-connection-close”
address 7575
# force-connection-close on
# You can also use the WSGI interface between ZServer and ZPublisher:
# use-wsgi on
</http-server>
then restart zinstance
in browser you can test :
http://localhost:PORT_NUMBER/manage
if PORT_NUMBER IS 7575 then url will be
http://localhost:7575/manage
Now Both version of Plone is running in your machine..
