Hi Alonso.  /home/sites/siteXY is the actual directory name.
/home/sites/www.site.com is a symbolic link that points to the actual directory name.
Cobalt set it up this way so you wouldn't have to remember the site names.

ls -l /home/sites/

/home/sites/site1/web works.  /home/sites/www.sitename.com/web might work too.  It
depends on how Apache is configured on your server.  Give it a try.
