[cobalt-users] using tar to pack /web from raq3 => internal server error untarring to raq4

["R. Hamburg" <cobalt@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a question:

is there an easy way to copy an whole /web dir from a site1.com on a raq3 to
an other server (raq4) which will be the next host of site1.com ???
I tried
tar --create --verbose --file=test.tar web
(http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar/html_chapter/tar_2.html#SEC18) on a raq3
and then on the other site i do in /home
tar -xvf test.tar (on a raq4)

Then the untarring starts and all files are placed in the /web dir of the
other server. Every thing seems to go right however when I try to view the
site over http I get an internal server error.....and the site isn't
displayed. Does this have something to do with permissions ? As far as I
understand from www.gnu.org the permissions are taken within the tar file.
So I thought the untarring would set the same permissions to all the files
!?

where do I go wrong ?

Advice would be more than welcome here ! :)
