Any version.
This How-to is intended for:
Integrators and site admins, Developers
Buildout is a very easy way to set up GetPaid and all its dependencies, and it makes it easy for you to maintain your site with the latest code. Buildout sets up all of the things you need, including an instance.
Purpose
This document explains how to use buildout in the case you have an existing Plone site and want to set up GetPaid.
For development and deployment, buildout is much better at actually creating an environment where components are installed in standard locations and does a good job isolating any system quirks.
Prerequisities
- A Plone 2.5 site
- Server access (ssh)
Step by step
- Set up the GetPaid buildout on your server following the DevGettingStarted document
- Add the products from the existing site to develop-products/
- Copy over your data.fs from original site to buildout instance
Further information
The DevGettingStarted page has a lot of great information.
