Just went through a migration and everything appeared to go pretty smooth, but we figured out there was an issue with symbolic links.
A site on an old server running plesk 12 had symbolic links in it. When the site is Migrated through the plesk migration tool, the symbolic links aren't preserved on the new server.
I am testing out Plesk control panel 12 - looks promising, but the moment I hit chroot-ed environment, many things go wrong.
Set up:
Virutal server, running linux (64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 Server LTS);
Plesk Control Panel 12.0.18, Update #14;
Currently running on a trial license;
Brand new installation on a dedicated server;
I have two disks, one is for system stuff, plus plesk; second disk is supposed to be dedicated to /var and /home
root@testthing:/var/log# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1 40G 8.7G 29G 24% /
....
/dev/vdb1 493G 2.9G 465G 1% /disk2
[Code] .....
(to save place, I've removed the regular stuff that is everywhere and makes not difference for this case ... I think)
The plesk installation went just fine; update ran fine; I can register customers, their websites run fine ... as long as they get no shell at all, or regular shell to the server.
BUT: we need to jail all our customers under chroot. If that is not possible, we can't use Plesk.
I created a Service plan cloned form the Default domain plan and changed only to give the users ssh access to the server with a chroot env.
When I try to register a new client with this new service plan, it fails with lots of error messages (one per directory it tries to make), like this:
chrootmng: cannot set permissions for "/var/www/vhosts/demowh1.blah.blah/lib":Too many levels of symbolic links
...
Dropping the GUI and xperimenting in a shell, as root: If I run:
root@testthing:/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin# ./chrootmng --create --source=/var/www/vhosts/chroot/ --target=/var/www/vhosts/demowh1.blah.blah
open_basedir_with_nofollow: opeat failed: `var', Too many levels of symbolic links
[Code] ....
But, if I run it like this:
root@testthing:/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin# ./chrootmng --create --source=/var/www/vhosts/chroot/ --target=/disk2/var/www/vhosts/demowh1.blah.blah
It proceeds to make a copy of all directories where it should.
So, at this point I am pretty sure that the problem is my link between /var and /disk2.
Still, I want to keep the user data on a separate disk from the system/plesk data.
I have a linux sserver. And I mount a drive from a windows server. The mount point is /mnt/winmirror.
I make 2 test folders, test1 and test2 under /mnt/winmirror. Then I create a symbolic link in test1 to test2. In -s /mnt/winmirror/test2 linktotest2.
But there is an error message:
ln: creating symbolic link `linktotest2' to `/mnt/winmirror/test2': Operation not permitted
Any body know why I can't create symbolic link in this situation?
We were using the mailserver on our linux install, but have since changed over to an ms exchange server. With that I removed the mailserver and installed MSMTP relay only mailserver (SMTP client) option.
I configured the External SMTP Server settings under Tools & Settings / Mail with a valid email address password host name and port of 587. When I save it says settings saved.
Since doing this I have been unable to use the email link option for share files in the file share portion of my domain. When I try to select a user from the list to send the email to or even type an external email all I get is the error "Unable to send email".
When I checked the maillog file in /usr/local/psa/var/log, I get this error "Jun 20 15:42:59 u16271698 msmtp: host=smtp.1and1.com tls=off auth=on user=to@email.ca from=psaadm recipients=to@email.ca errormsg='cannot use a secure authentication method' exitcode=EX_UNAVAILABLE"
Where I have proper emails configured where I placed "to@email.ca"
How can I get this working with the MSMTP relay only mailserver (SMTP client) option installed?
I'm migrating 11 domains from my old server to my new server, and it's been running now for 3 hours and the progress section shows 100% but it looks like it's still running.
And each time I check the "Domains" section I see a couple of my domains listed but not all of them yet, and the ones I do see the "Disk Usage" on one of my domains that I know is large shows the same figure each time I go to this page; it doesn't seem like it has increased at all.
How can I tell if the migration is still processing or if it has froze and I should restart the migration again?
Since upgrading to 12.0.18 i have picked up a strange problem when creating a new email account.The Mail tab is not displayed and does not allow me to create email accounts, in version 11.5 I also appeared tab. I have reviewed the FAQ and the solution to change tables in the DB does not serve 11.5 (I understand that by varying the field names and values in 12.0.18).
View 11 Replies View RelatedWe successfully migrated web and email from a Plesk 9.3 system to the new Plesk 12.0 system. Afterwards i try to install new extensions and / or try to delete existing extensions and receive the following error:
Die Erweiterung Webserver Configurations Troubleshooter kann nicht entfernt werden: crontabmng failed: /usr/bin/crontab execution failed: "crontabViWP46":11: bad command errors in crontab file, can't install. System error: crontab execution error
Means that i am not able to delete the extension "Webserver Configurations Troubleshooter". But the extension is delete (but not completelly - only a checkbox is shown without entry).
Is something comes with a config of the old server? All works proper until migration.
We have a problem migrating from 11.0.9 to a different server running 12.0.18. Our Plesk 11 server is running great since years ago. We have 3 resellers there, say reseller1 with 17 domains, reseller2 with 13 domains and reseller3 with 250 domains.
First, we executed a complete server migration with:
/usr/local/psa/bin/migrate -m -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -password xxxxxx -ip-mapping /root/migration-mapping.txt -skip-license -replace-existing-objects true
The process ran properly, but in the end we've found reseller1 and reseller2 were NOT migrated. No errors were reported tho.
While investigating this issue we have found:
1) "/usr/local/psa/bin/migrate --list-resellers" returns only reseller3. So it looks like reseller1 and reseller2 are not "seen" by the migrate utility.
2) /usr/local/psa/bin/migrate -mr reseller1 returns:
Migration started at: 2015-06-03 04:21:11
The following clients not exist: reseller1
3) /usr/local/psa/bin/migrate --list-subscriptions returns the 250 subscriptions of reseller3, but no single mention to reseller1 and reseller2 subscriptions.
In short, reseller1 and reseller2 are invisible for the migration utility. Both missing resellers are ok, enabled and active in our Plesk 11 server.
We are now stuck on the migration process and wondering if this could be a bug in the migrate utility? or some inconsistence in our Plesk 11?
If you transfered an account with the PMM, is e-mail still received on the old server being forwarded to the new one?
Is it a good idea to transfer only e-mail & accounts again after DNS propagates to the new server?
I had a old virtual Server with Ubuntu+Plesk12. I build a new dedicated Server with CentOS6+Plesk12 and migrate all Domains. Now i have a strange problem:
When i upload a file with FTP-User "user1", the file has the permissions Group=psacln & Owner=user1. All is fine, i can see and edit this file in a FTP-Program. But when my website create a file (cache html files or installed plugin folders in wordpress), I can't see, can't edit and can't download this files.
When i login to plesk with the admin account, i can see and edit this files. They have also Group=psacln & Owner=user1 and i can give them 0666 rights but when i login with FTP-User "user1" with my FTP-Program, I didn't see that files?!
I have recently migrated to new server with Plesk 12. There was a webalizer even I used to have awstat. So I installed awstat and changed it in the settings. But every day when I synchronized the abonnement it changed alone back to Webalizer ... which I dont want
When I tried to deactivate or deinstall Webalizer in plesk using the update manager, I got an error:
"Some errors occured during installation."
Solved, changed settings in Customer Service Plan and synchronized...
After migrating to a new server and also from plesk 11 to 12 i've got two watchdog errors:
/bin/sh: /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-events: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/pack-sysstats: No such file or directory
Both files dont exist. Is it save to delete the scheduled taks or should those tasks exist?
Plesk from plesk server Migration, I want to do
I get the following error.
Error: No Migration & Transfer Agent found. Data migration cannot be performed.
I am setting up a new server and started to migrate domains from an 11.x plesk server to this new server with plesk 12.x on it. Everything works fine, domains, users, mailboxes, everything is migrated - except the horde settings inside the webmail. I recognized this after my first login into webmail, normally the inbox is shown (I configured my webmaoil this way) but after the migration this setting is lost - including all other settings. How to migrate this settings?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have installed Plesk 12 on a fresh up to date Ubuntu 14.04 x64 server.
After installation, and before any migration, we have moved some folders:
- /var/www/vhosts -> /opt/vhosts
- /var/qmail -> /opt/qmail
- /var/mysql -> /opt/mysql
We have created symlinks, modified some configuration files (Plesk included) and ran domains reconfiguration script (zero domain installed, but just in case the script will do anything else).
After that, we have launched Plesk Migration Wizard (from Plesk 9 to last release).
Everything has worked fine: all domains have been migrated on our new folders (/opt based) and owners has been correctly defined for each domain. The same for MySQL and all mail accounts.
We have checked Apache VirtualHost configured by Plesk Migration Wizard : our new folders are used (/opt).
So all seems to be ok.
But now, all websites (configured with Apache and Apache PHP module) returns 403 Forbidden error.
We have try changing to FastCGI with Apache same error.
We have try changing to full Nginx (PHP and static files), some websites run.
We have checked some KB (112884, 800) but all seems to be good.
Is there any steps we have omitted when we move folders ?
I've got a problem to migrate A user from one server to another.
I tried to use the migration manager, but if I start the migration manager the migration will be started but after 2 seconds it has finished and no migration has be doen.
or should I moove the data manually?
I'm trying to migrate a Plesk 9.5 to a Plesk 12 via the tools.
I tested some domains before doing he whole but I have a "big" domain who make an error:

I already checked on google, tested the solution but each time I do the migration, it crash again...
I have recently migrated my websites from Plesk 11.0.9 to a new server with Plesk 12.x and the webalizer is not working.
- Is there a chance to repair it and not loose the data? If yes, how do I do that?
- Or do I have to remove it and install Webalizer again? How do I do that?
OS Ubuntu
Uninstalling Webalizer with plesk updater is not possible.

Recently I migrated my server from CentOs 5 to CentOS 6.4, while using the migration manager from plesk 11.0.9 (the migration was between the same plesk version).
I used rsync first, which caused some trouble, but without it, the migration process worked fine.
Unfortunately, if I create new domains now, they won't get any domainkey DNS entries anymore and under /etc/domainkeys no keys are created for the new domains.
Nothing I tried did work so far, which was resetting the DNS template, turning on and off the domainkeys setting, nor did calling "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam" resolve the problem.
For the existing domains, domainkeys work fine, but I can't find any errors how I can fix my plesk installation to generate domainkeys for new domains.
I am getting the following error message when I try to migrate sites from an old server to a new server.:

Yesterday I migrated a domain with the migration tool from a Debian 7.6 Plesk 12.0.18 MU35 box to a Debian 7.6 Plesk 12.0.18 MU35 box
This domain have a simple DNS configuration. The A registry for the domain.com was an own IP instead the IP of the server. Rest of the DNS configuration was the same.
After migration the A registry for the domain.com was an own IP too (as expected) but also the A registry for mail.domain.com
Before migration, in the old server:
A domain.com x.x.x.x (own ip)
A mail.domain.com y.y.y.y (server ip)
After migration, in the new server:
A domain.com x.x.x.x
A mail.domain.com x.x.x.x
The migration had changed the IP for mail.domain.com for the IP of the A registry for domain.com
Very strange. I double-checked it (as the domain in the "old" server was suspended)
Client don´t have access to the control panel, so no changes done.
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 have recently migrated from one server with Plesk 11 to another server with Plesk 12 and cant get the alias emails work properly like they worked before the migration. I can send emails from any alias@alias.domain (via Outlook), but cant receive them.I can receive emails only from the mailbox email of the main domain, but not for the alias-email of that mailbox for an alias domain that worked well for Plesk 11. Where might be the problem?
I have created a webmail.domain.tld in the Webmail-Services (where it says Horde 6.2.1 is installed), but the webmail.maindomain.tld is not working. I get displayed only the "webservers default page". Webmail.maindomain.tld worked well in Plesk 11.There is also no "Webmail" link in the domain control pannel like it used to be in the Plesk 11.I have created a new abonnement with a new domain to test this, but there is no Webmail link for this abonnement as well.
You message for <alias@alias.tld> from 2014/11/17 could not be delivered. 4.0.0 smtp; 454 4.7.1 <alias@alias.tld>: Relay access denied
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.
Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
Panel version 11.5.30 Update #45
The data stored in roundcube webmail (like contacts and signatures ), located in the database table "roundcubemail", is not transferred when migrating the whole server, customer or the domain that uses it. Also in the backup server, account, domain this data is not included.
I think it's a real problem if a customer with many mailboxes, who only uses roundcube, needs a backup or wants to migrate to another server. Ok, this data could be exported in rounbcube with a few mouse clicks, but it´s not very comfortable. In my opinion this should be included in the backup and also in the migration process (migration manager).
I'd like to upgrade my server from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04. The idea is to migrate my actual server (S1) to another one (S2). Then, format and install ubuntu 14.04 with Plesk on S1, and finally migrate the data from S2 to S1. Is it a good solution? Is it possible to do this using only one server? I don't know if I can do it making a backup, install Ubuntu 14.04 and then, restore the data into the server.
However, I have a problem with the migration agent. When I go the migration page, the migration agent tries to update itself and it keep at 0% forever (I attach an screenshot).
When I start the process in Migration & Transfer Manager i have this error: Error: Connection timeout. I see in the log file:
