[cobalt-users] Raq4 siteManage directory vanished ...

[Mikael Siirilä <mikael.siirila@xxxxxxxxx>]

The following occurred with my Raq4:

1) I created a set (3) of virtual sites and adjusted DNS-settings for each
of them normally.

2) I edited the httpd.conf to allow one of these virtual sites to have its
root directory inside another virtual site's web-directory. Not a very
abnormal adjustment.

3) A few days later I needed to delete these virtual sites. Using the Server
Management tool I deleted the virtual sites - and weird things begun to
happen.

	a) I got "invalid group" errors twice when deleting the virtual sites.
	b) All email traffic on the server jammed and configuration errors started
flooding the admin mailbox.
	c) A directory alias for one virtual site directory was left undeleted.
	d) Worst of all the entire /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/siteManage directory
disappeared taking down all Site Management interfaces for all virtual
sites.

Backups were used to fix problems, but the reason for the meltdown remains a
mystery. Does anybody have suggestions as to what might have caused all
this?

Thanks!
