[LON-CAPA-users] folders removed accidentally?

What may have happened is that the course's top level folder now  
appears to be empty.  All the course content is still stored, as are  
the XML files describing the hierarchy in sub folders etc.  What needs  
to happen is that the XML description of the course's top level folder  
needs to be restored.

I have heard of this happening once before  
(http://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6045), but have not been able  
to reproduce this behavior.

I have added you as a CC on the bug, and will follow up with the  
LON-CAPA group in VCU Technology Services to:

(a) provide advice on how to reverse the change
(b) determine if information is available from the log files on the  
VCU server about the exact conditions under which this bug can occur,  
so it can be fixed.
