RE: [cobalt-users] Raq3 vs. Raq550

["Leigh Jamgochian" <leigh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've moved from a Raq4 to a 550 in the past week and Its a BEAR.

I know that the 550 does NOT store its sites like the Raq3 where sites are
like this
/home/sites/site1
/home/sites/site2
/home/sites/site3
/home/sites/site4

with symbolic links in the same directorye
/home/sites/www.sitename.com -> /home/sites/site1
/home/sites/www.sitename2.com -> /home/sites/site2
/home/sites/www.sitename3.com -> /home/sites/site3
/home/sites/www.sitename4.com -> /home/sites/site4

but on the 550 its structured like this
/home/.sites/0/site1
/home/.sites/111/site2
/home/.sites/119/site3
/home/.sites/139/site4

and /home/sites only having symbolic links
/home/sites/www.sitename.com -> /home/.sites/0/site1
/home/sites/www.sitename2.com -> /home/.sites/111/site2
/home/sites/www.sitename3.com -> /home/.sites/119/site3
/home/sites/www.sitename4.com -> /home/.sites/139/site4

So if you have coding that goes to /home/sites/sitex it will not work.  It
MAY work if you manually create a symbolic link but I'm not sure what the
ramifications are if you do it (server or application)

You're better off either manually moving the sites to new ones OR using the
migration tool. Welcome to a nightmare.
