I put together a script to verify and repair the database used by the RaQ-3 admin interface for virtual site users... There were some RaQ-3 bugs (fixed in update 2.0) that could cause users to become "detached", i.e. they exist on the system but do not show up in the admin interface. This script attempts to detect and repair coherency problems that may happen. Cobalt tech support now has this script and accompanying instructions and will be glad to take a look at your system and repair the corrupt database. This is highly recommended for most users. On the other hand if you are more comfortable handling things yourself, then the script is also on the ftp site: ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/users/duncan/raq3/meta-verify-raq3.pl look in the script header for details or run with "-h" to see the available options. standard disclaimer: please be careful! this is designed to modify the database and could potentially be dangerous. Well, its actually designed to *repair* the database, but if something unforseen were to happen while this is running it is possible that your database could be worse off. ignoring the disclaimer.. if you do customizations or intensive work with your raq3 this can be a useful tool: run with the "-a" argument and it will validate the metadata of all current users in the database against the system configuration files, prompting you to update the database if it finds any inconsistencies. if you do download and use this yourself, please contact me directly with problems as support probably wouldn't want to hear it... that and they'd probably take me out back and shoot me for making it available in the first place.
