[cobalt-users] Site admin pages disappeared ...

[johan@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi there,

I posted this earlier to the list under another heading, but after some 
investigation the exact problem can now be specified (RaQ 4i):

I deleted some virtual domains using the GUI control panel, including the very 
first one on the list.  Since then, I cannot access any of the site admin pages
( http://216.x.x.x/.cobalt/siteManage/www.whatever.com ).  

There are only two remaining directories in 
the /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/siteManage directory, namely ../home and ../site1 
(which belongs to a site that I've added after the deletions in the hope that 
the problem would be solved).  What's more, ../site1 does not have a dynamic 
link.

Everything is still fine in the /home/sites directory - all dynamic links are 
still present, including the actual directories.

Question time:

[1] Is there any way of recovering the directories and dynamic links from the 
PostgreSQL database?  

[2] What could have caused this?

[3] If this is indeed a Cobalt bug, where does one report it?

Any help will be appreciated!

Rgrds,

Johan Pretorius

I to am getting this error now on one of my cobalts, the rewrite works fine 
but the actual files are gone from the /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/siteManage
There an easy way to get these back? Copy from a diff cobalt?
