Hi Matt

Is /var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/Products the directory where the
other Zope/Plone products are also located or does it just contain ZCO
and PrimaGIS? If the answer is yes to the latter, then you should check
your zope.conf (probably
at /var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/etc/zope.conf) and look for a
line that defines the location of the products directory, something like

  products /path/to/products

to see whether /var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/Products is defined
there. Zope should by default read the "Products" directory within your
instance home, but you could try adding your directory explicitly, e.g.

  products /var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/Products

Another thing you can try is running Zope with the "runzope" script to
see if it gives any additional information about (not) finding the
products.

  /var/lib/zope2.8/instance/plone-site/bin/runzope

You could also just copy the "ZCO" and "PrimaGIS" directories where ever
your other products are located (CMFPlone etc.)

Hope this helps!

cheers,
Kai
