[Thomas Petersen]

Just a question "Maximum Allowed Number of Users" under general site settings - is that "25"  ?

Emne: [BlueOnyx:23339] Re: Import users from a cmuExport

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the thorough response and suggestions.  I went with the first one - and my first thought when it completed was "Well, that's weird!".

The cmuImport script first asked about conflicting webAliases, which I told all to Discard.  Then it said "Virtual site name http://www.xxxx.com conflicts with current state.  Merge(M), Change(C), Quit(Q), Drop(D):" - to which I chose M to merge.

It next asked about the 25 or so existing users that had conflicts, I choose to Drop each.  And then it took off with a string of "Creating user: xxx".  It claimed to create the 36 or so missing user accounts.  It was great to see that - I thought I was saved!  The script finished up with setting all the disk quotas - and was done. 

But when I look at the users in /home/sites/www.xxx.com/users - its still as it was before.  And the list of users in the GUI still only has the original 25 entries.

So I'm puzzled!  Very weird to have the cmuImport say that it was creating the missing users, but they're not there afterward. 

Anything occur to you on that?  If not, I'll try the second method with the cmu.xml file.  Since these sites on the original server were exported one at a time - I have a cmu.xml file for each site.  I'll just take out everything except the missing users, and try cmuImport again with that modified xml file.

Thanks again for the assist!



Chuck
