[cobalt-users] Migration Utility - Helpful Hint

["WebSite Creations" <main@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To anyone who uses the Migration Utility.

I found a slight problem with the Migration Utility.

I migrated sites from a RaQ3 to an RaQ4.  However,  when the sites were
created on the RaQ4 by the Migration utility, the RaQ installed the DEFAULT
COBALT NEW SITE PAGE in each site's directory.  Thus, it overwrites the
users page if they are using 'index.html' as their main page.   Major bad.

Okay, to over come this, I telnet in to the box as root, and then go to the
default page directory;--

cd /etc/skel/group/en_US/web

I then do a list command--

ls

and it shows the index.html page which is the page placed into new accounts
as the default page.

I then renamed the page --

cp index.html index.out.html

and then removed the 'index.html' page--

rm index.html

Reset the server and then tried again.  This time, the user's index.html
page remained intact and was not overwritten.

I hope this helps you.
