[BlueOnyx:02116] BlueQuartz management GUI seems to have lost all configurations

[Chuck Tetlow]

Hi everyone,

I know this is a BlueOnyx list, but BlueQuartz is still in use and a lot of the people on this list are BlueQuartz experts.

We've had a BlueQuartz server do something I've never seen before.  It seems to have totally lost its knowledge of its configuration - like the CODB has completely disappeared!

If you try to access the management webpage - you get the initial "Welcome" page as if it were a brand-new BlueQuartz install.  Its like I just installed BlueQuartz on the server and its waiting to be set up.  But all the sites/domains that were on the box are still working?  Its serving up their webpages and processing their e-mail.  Weird!?!?!

I'm leery of pressing the "START" button on that welcome page - I'm afraid it will make things worse and the sites on that server will stop working.  The only reason we kept this older BlueQuartz around - these last few companies were using Frontpage and haven't been migrated off of that yet so they could be put on our BlueOnyx servers.  But this is almost a brand-new install - only about two months old.

I thought that I'd just back them up with cmuExport and reload - no such luck.  The cmuExport utility doens't see any sites and won't export/backup the sites on the server.  So the only option is a TAR backup, and manual reinstall after reloading.  YUCK!  Lots of work involved with that.

Has anyone seen this before?  Any idea how to help the system find its configuration again??

Thanks guys,

Chuck
