There was a bug that deleted all virtual site symlinks if you
accidentally double-clicked the trashcan icon in IE.  A subsequent patch
fixed the problem, so I'm thinking your RaQ isn't patched up as current
as it should be.  Which means you might be "open" for some other
security-related problems as well... please check the download page and
install all patches listed there, from bottom to top (chronological
order - newest patches are at the top of the page).

There is a script that will do your repairs for you (internally named
symrepair.pl).  Install this and run as root:


#!/usr/bin/perl
# creates the admin server pages for all domains on 
# a RaQ 3 or RaQ 4 except for the home site


require Cobalt::Layout;
require Cobalt::Admserv;
require Cobalt::Vsite;
require Cobalt::Meta;
use Cobalt::Product;


foreach my $vhost (Cobalt::Vsite::vsite_list()) {
    next unless ($$vhost[1]);
        my $fqdn = $$vhost[1];
        my ($group) = Cobalt::Meta::query("type"  => "vsite",
        "keys"  => ["name"],
        "where" => ["name", "<>", "default",
        "and", "fqdn", "=", "$fqdn"]);
        next if($group eq "home");
        if($group) {
                warn "creating admserver pages for group: $group site
name: $fqdn\n"; 
                Cobalt::Layout::layout_siteManage($group, $fqdn);
               
Cobalt::Admserv::admserv_set_access(qq[$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$group],
'require', 'group', $group);
                unlink("$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$fqdn") if (-l
"$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$fqdn");
        symlink("$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$group",
        "$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$fqdn");
        } else {
                warn "unkown fqdn: $fqdn or group: $group\n";
        }
}



Hopefully mail wrapping didn't munge this too badly...
