Googling for 'Plone IE7' gives :

If you're running an old version (pre-2.1.3) of Plone you need to 
upgrade. If not, its probably your own customisations that are breaking 
things and the link above give more info how to fix them.

Dean,
   You didn't say which lower version of Plone you have. However, if its 
earlier than 2.1, there are many reasons why you should upgrade soon 
anyway. I just googled for ZFloatMenu and it looks old. I don't know 
much about ZFloatMenu -maybe the functionality it provides is now core 
in later version of Plone, because that would explain how it doesn't 
seem to be used by many people anymore. Someone else might comment on this.
   In general, when you upgrade Plone, you have to look at the product 
page on plone.org for all 3rd-party products you have (unless they are 
zope products in which case check zope.org against your new zope 
version) and see what version they are tested against. Sometimes even if 
it only says tested against version x it will still work on x+1 but you 
have to look on the newsgroups to see who is using it.
   It sounds to me like you need to migrate Plone to a later version and 
that would solve a number of problems besides IE7. This may be 
complicated if latest versions of ZFloatMEnu & CPanel don't work with 
that, or you may be lucky. The best way to know is to try it out. In the 
worst case scenario you might have to change some things so as not to 
depend on those particular 3rd-party products.
   This newsgroup , plone setup, is connected with installing and 
upgrading Plone. Don't forget also plone-users, which has more traffic 
for answers to some other specific questions you might have.
Regards,
Nick

Of course it's not. See step 3 above. You installed the new code and 
then replaced it with the old code.

portal_migrations I got an exclamation point, and one under portal_atct. Here's the kicker, it says:

The only thing I don't understand is how anything could report 2.5.3, 
unless you created that site before #3.

mimetype text/x-web-markdown and migration to 2.5.3

Hi all
I have migrated some sites to 2.5.3 on a windows platform, and everything 
was looking fine until I realized I could not import an exported site in 
such environment (self-to-self or anyway same platform/release).
I had the errors saying that  text/-x-web-mardown and text/x-web-mardown 
were not registered, as per ticket 6695 of  Plone Trac.
I did add the two mimetypes to the mimetypes registry and then re-exported 
the site, but still the import process fails, this time just because 
text/-x-web-mardown is not registered. But as far as I can see, it is 
registered now.
Is there anything else I should do when adding a mimetype to the registry? I 
think I did it correct and checked again and again... to be sure I was doing 
it right I created a new test plone site in the same instance and 
copy&pasted the entries for each mimetype from the newly created one (which 
is listing the mimetypes of course) to my existing-upgraded-from-2.5.2 site.

Thanks&bye
Lucia

Re: help installing plone

recognise the password, and I also checked all boxes in security od

Did you remember to go to 'Activate' tab on the LDAPMP and enable the 
'Authentication' checkbox?
