    Hi there,
    I have got serious problem with ISPConfig. It was working fine for an year nowbut suddenly all user data in /var/www disappeared and instead of data we found there default folders and files. (empty mailfolder, default ISPConfig index, error pages) It seems that ISPConfig has reset the users in database an cleared their home folders. We lost many GBs of data which are being restored from backups. Any ideas how this could happen ?

    Not really but in case ISPConfig would've done that I'd expect that you will find some hints in your log (/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log)

    Maybe you could also check in your logs whether any user was logged in via ssh.

    i also mean there is no simply (one button option how to empty folders) via ispconfig ... may the problem will be in some other service

    And always be careful:
    For example if you execute "cp filename /var/www" instead of "cp filename /var/www/" you lose everything!

    By the way i can not imagine that ISPConfig caused your problem.
    Please check the logfiles to check what could be the cause.

    Sorry hans, this is absolutely wrong.
    The following does copy file /tmp/abc to folder /tmp/dummy also without the trailing /:

    results in file abc to be in folder /tmp/dummy.

    tested with centos.
