Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Migrate Hosting From CPanel With Error?
Jul 9, 2014
I have migrate Hosting from Cpanel to Plesk, but mailbox not create successful.
mbox_quota 262144000 -forwarding false -ignore-nonexistent-options failed with return code 1.
Stderr is
Unable to set the mailbox size limit for the domain: The size of this mailbox must not exceed the limit on amount of disk space allocated for mailboxes in this domain.
Default mailbox of Cpanel is 250MB.
How to change default mailbox size to 250MB to change mail from Cpanel to Plesk.
We recently started migrating some cPanel accounts to Plesk. Besides the obvious that it doesn't create customer accounts it contains a pretty frustrating bug:
When an mail forward in cPanel has multiple addresses, only one the first mail forward address is migrated to Plesk.
so, E.g. on cPanel: test@example.com is forwarded to john.doe@something.com, jane.doe@else.com, foo@bar.com
after migration to Plesk: test@example.com is forwarded to john.doe@something.com only. The other addresses are not migrated.
At my company we have running some Helm 3/4 servers and we've installed a new server with Plesk 12 for testing.Do you know a good way to migrate these servers (more than 6) to Plesk 12?.Helm is bringing to me a lot of problems and also servers must be renewed.
im trying to migrate my plesk 11 linux server (i installed the PPA Moving Tools) but when im running the assimilate command: ppa-assimilate generate-migration-list config.ini...im getting this error:
I generate the ssl for my customer going into this direction:
Tools & Settings > SSL Certificates > add new
I put the key there its ok until here.
Then I follow this: After adding an SSL certificate to a domain, you need to enable SSL support and select that certificate in the website hosting settings: Websites & Domains > Hosting Settings of this domain > Security.
But the dropdownlist there are not SSL with the name that i create on panel.
I had made the backups of subscription and of whole plesk too and migrate it to other server. It seems all to be fine, but I cannot send or receive emails In Tools & Settings -> Server-Wide Mail Settings - > Mail Queue I see all mails stored there. The IPs was changed yesterday, and now I can see that WHOIS Infos was chanfed too, the domains are online.
On old server I had no problem with sending of emails (post), it is stil on, because I had not by all domains changed the DNS-Records yet.
I got a new Server with Plesk 12.0.8 (old one has 11.5.30). Now I have to migrate all Subscriptions of the old System into the new one.
I tested it with one item and all time I get this warning:
Warning:SSL certificate "default certificate" Execution of /opt/psa/admin/plib/api-cli/certificate.php --create default certificate -cert-file /opt/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-cert-GzVcei -key-file /opt/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-privkey-PgXbaU -print-signature -admin -ignore-nonexistent-options failed with return code 1. Stderr is Unable to create certificate "default certificate": Unable to set the private key: Probably, the private key format is invalid.
We've migrated a web hosting account from a Plesk 10 server to a Plesk 12 one but the customers Horde calendar and events settings haven't transferred over.I've tried exporting and importing the data manually and that seems to work, but why doesn't the migration manager bring this information across?
When I try to migrate from old server to new server, I get this error:
Warning: Deployer has been terminated by exception: Line 471 error: Element 'certificates': This element is not expected. Expected is one of ( sb-config, backup-settings, server-preferences, spamassassin, grey-listing, virusfilter, kav-settings, coldfusion, gapps-services, events ).
I'm using the migrate tool to clone our production server to a backup server.
I'm using the following command
Code: cd /opt/psa/bin/ ./migrate --migrate-server -host x.x.x.x -password mypwd
I've noticed that the per-domain PHP settings (like open_basedir and include_path) are not transmit to the backup server. Is that the expected behavior ? I would have prefer the migrate tool to include all settings....
i've migrate from plesk 11.5 (centos server) to plesk 12 (ubuntu 14). The migrate process doesn't give problems but now (and for all domains), web service doesn't work well in fact works but all domains resolve /var/www/vhosts/default/htpdocs/index.html and not /var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs/
The rest of services (mail, ftp...) seems to work ok. I don't know if it's important but as before migrate, we use and external DNS server so in plesk i have DNS server down.
I have installed Plesk 12.0.18 on my server and want to change the hosting-type from "Forwarding" to "Web hosting". I change the type via "Websites & Domains" view (see attachments).
After I insert username and password, I get following error message:
Some fields are empty or contain an improper value. ('home' = '')
Deleting the domain and creating it from scratch is a bad option. I would have to create all e-mail accounts and migrate the data.
When trying to change the hosting type of a subscription, from website to forwarding or none, that was created before I removed tomcat from the server, I get the error: "Error: tomcatmng failed:".
For subscriptions that where created after I removed the tomcat package (with the updates and upgrades manager/product installer) hosting type changing is no problem.
I'm getting following errors while migrating my accounts from latest version of cPanel:
Code: Warning:
Couldn't get 'cgi_bin_mode' attribute for domain where cgi-bin dir is '' and docroot dir is '/home/inofash/public_html'. Domain will be migrated in that way as if its cgi-bin directory was located under docroot.
Because of that none of my accounts can't be migrated.
I trying to migrate a domain from cpanel 11.42 to my new plesk 12 vps.
When i do this i got a error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getElementsByTagName() on a non-object in /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/backup/Conflicts/Detector.php on line 536
The domain has 3 sub domains, 1 parked domain and several mailboxes.
We found 502 Bad Gateway error Nginx on multiple domain "currently troissoeursetunfrere.com is a wordpress site e-commerce" and also malittleboutique.com ecommerce wordpress, possibly to fix this problem we have followed this tutorial " [URL] ....
connected to my other question regarding hMailserver and Plesk 11.5 for Windows I still need to transfer/upgrade two other servers to Plesk 11.5 - and these two are using hMailserver. During the upgrade to Plesk 11.5.x hMailserver is kicked out and Mail Enable SE is installed (and luckily configured). The users will have their old mails stored with hMailserver and a "blank" new mailbox with Mail Enable. Somehow I need to transfer or migrate these mails from hMailserver to Mail Enable.
My solution last time was "easy but annoying": I set new passwords for all mailboxes and used IMAPcopy to copy all messages, one by one. This took like forever!There was just no other solution as I already upgraded my installation. As of now, the "Upgrade Notes" published by Parallels suggest to "upgrade by migrate". How to do this, without IMAPcopy and all this trouble? Maybe if I get a backup of the mails and restore this backup? Is there a way to only backup the mails instead of the whole configuration and stuff?
I get the following message if i try to migrate a domain from a Windows Plesk (9.5.5) to PPA:
[2014-04-22 11:25:39] [ERROR] check-infrastructure/mydomain.com| The mssql database DATABASENAME from SourceSQL:0 will not be copied to external DB server at x.x.x.x:1433 - this is not implemented.
But this should have been fixed in MU#4 as mentioned in [URL] ....:
[-] Users could not migrate to PPA 11.5 if PPA used an external Microsoft SQL Server (which was added through Infrastructure > Database Servers). (PPA-771)Click to expand...
How can i migrate best multiple confixx server to a PPA environment?

When I try to set a domain's hosting type from "Forwarding" to "Website hosting" I get the following error:
Error: Unable to start (/c ""C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskadminbinusermng.exe" exist [username]") at Plesk impersonation(PipeServer::ServerThread::runAs line 886) at Unable to execute applicationzif_plesk_proc_open line 1274)
What I tried: - Using different usernames; - Checked plesksrv.exe permissions [URL] ;
And right now I'm running the PP Reconfigurator tool, option Plesk File Security, cause I think this issue is related with permissions.
