Finding my old sites! HELP!

OH MY GOD! I'm freaking out a little, but hopefully someone can help. I've
reinstalled the Mac suite because of a performance problem and now all of my
site files are gone. Well hopefully not gone, but misplaceed.

Can someone tell me where the site files are so that I can copy and pase them
and not have to reenter all of that information and create new sites.

Thank you

Shane

I should also add that I've been researching as much as I can, and from what I
can tell if I didn't export the sites to XML files, then I cannot import them.

That makes me think that all of the ftp, and site information is gone.

I hope there is a file that stores all that information and that it is
accessible.

I hope I'm wrong

well, if you update to dw8, it should find the existing defined sites

and import them automatically during the install... that is, if you had
and didn't delete the dwmx2004 version.

No, I just reinstalled the Suite MX2004. It didn't locate any and reattach any
of the site definitions. My reinstall shows like I installed for the first time.
System information for help:
Mac OSX 10.3.9

I appreciate your input though.

Shane

And you trashed all of the previous preferences before doing this, and
didn't have your sites backed up?

I fear the worst....

No I didn't trash anything. I just installed it again. My intention was to do a
reinstall from a selection, but I did not see a selection for a reinstall and
so I went forward with it anyway. Am I right to assume that it wrote over the
existing sites, and I need to set them up again?

Shane

I guess so. I am a little surprised that this would do such a thing without
you specifically dumping something, though.

I know it's buggin the "you know" out of me. The only thing that I found was
that in the Dreamweaver folder, I have a configuration and a configuration-1
file. I attempted to just change the name of configuration-1 to configuration
and see if that would do the trick and it was all for not.

There has got to be a cache file that stores all of that information locally.
I just need to find it. Dammit.

Shane

The Configuration file is not what you are looking for. The sites are saved
in the Preferences folder.... But on reinstall if you didn't see them in DW
then they are gone. Make backups for the next time you do this....
