Plesk Automation :: Can Migrate Multiple Confixx Server To PPA?
May 5, 2014
How can i migrate best multiple confixx server to a PPA environment?
I have read migration confixx to ppa is not directly supported, is that right? Can i first migrate all confixx server to one plesk server and migrate in a next step all to ppa or should i migrate step by step each confixx server to a plesk server and after this migrate to ppa?
Who can handle plesk/PPA the multipe username? (server1 with user: web1 | server2 with user: web1) ?
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 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...
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.
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 am doing migration of plesk 11 from one server to another server on both server version is same but after migration I cant find any service plan which is there on old server.how can i copy / migrate service plan from one serer to another server

On a clean install of CentOS 6.6 (Final) I did the following:
1. updated the /etc/hosts file to point my ip to the hostname
2. Open the ports in the iptables file.
3. ran the ppa_installer per the instructions on [URL] ....
The ppa_installer log says installed Successfully. However the following occurs:
1. Cannot browse to the url:8443, or any of the other variations (8080, 8880, https/http)
2. Yum installer is now broken (I replicated this twice). Yum will not run at all with the following error:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: file too short
Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is: 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jan 22 2014, 09:42:36) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)]
I am now going to try Cent OS 6.4.. will report back.
Today i setup a test environment. I have all fresh OS installs today. Management node is Centos 6.5 with PPA 11.5 update 2
I go to servers > add > choose IIS role. The Server is Windows 2012 R2, I have disabled Windows Firewall and disabled UAC, and rebooted it before trying to setup on PPA.
Enter IP and i get the following error.
Code: Automated WinRM Enabling Failed Error during WinRM enabling on '192.168.1.101'. Script exit code is 1. Script output (stdout/stderr): ERROR: Cannot open control pipe - NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER Failed to install winexesvc /
Repair Connectivity To make automated deployment possible please try to check network communications between Management and target nodes. Ensure that WMI is not blocked on a target node. Or copy, paste and invoke the following script on a target node.
However, it does create several roles in windows firewall so PPA can connect and sucessfully created X number of rules.I too disabled IPTables on management node.
I have server that has a SINGLE customer on it - this is not economical to run under PPA - how do I remove it from the PPA management and not disrupt the current site/email on it?
The plan is to run it on webmin - there is no way it can justify PPA for 1 site.
We have one server don't want to touch the php on - how can we upgrade our PPA cluster and leave the one server alone - or at least exclude it from upgrading PHP/mySQL/Apache?
I have a pretty new install of PPA with a Windows 2012R2 IIS Web servers. I just noticed it has Java 1.7.0 Update 25 installed which has A LOT of vulnerabilities. Can I safely upgrade this?
Suggestion: If something is installed/required by PPA it should also be kept up2date by PPA.
This kind of stuff makes me quite worried about anything installed by PPA on any of my nodes including Linux.
Do you have a team at Odin that makes sure everything is up2date and safe?
Due to data center limitations, I am restricted to 100GB on my primary disk but can have up to 2TB on a second disk.Is it possible to have the backup node use the second disk instead of the primary disk?Also is it possible to have multiple to have multiple backup nodes?
In PPA is there a way to restrict what applications from the application catalog can be used for each server? Right now I have a hosting node that can install anything from the application catalog, but I can't find anywhere in PPA to specify what is available and what isn't. If I go to APS Applications and My Apps, Add App, and select "Select an app from Application Catalog", firstly no matter which browser I use, the OK/Cancel buttons disappear. I have to open the frame in its own tab to be able to use this properly. But even if I select an app and choose not to make it available, it can still be added from the customer's hosting panel. In Plesk 11 I can choose which applications are available to the customers. I can't find how to do the same thing in PPA.
I've added a new Apache/MySQL node to our PPA cluster and we'd like to be able to host a single subscription on that node for the Apache webhosting and MySQL databases for that subscription while allowing that subscription to utilized the rest of the shared resources in the cluster, such as mail, DNS, etc. I'm looking for the best way to go about doing that.
I guess one simple way would be to set the new server to 'ready to provide' and set the rest to not ready, add the "linux shared hosting" hosting subscription to the customer account, then switch the new server to not ready and the rest back to ready. That works fine I suppose in a small cluster, but there has to be a better way. Is there a way to craft a service template that restricts subscribers to a particular node for Apache + MySQL and leaves them to rest of the "regular" nodes in the cluster for other services?
It has been bought to my attention during our upgrade planning, that PPA & Plesk Panel do not offer the functionality for setting up a backup MX servers. In our current configuration we use Sendmail as both secondary and tertiary MX servers. These are manually configured and prone to configuration mistakes.
Multiple scenarios need to be taken into consideration.
Scenario 1: Hosters Plesk hosted primary mail server + secondary & tertiary mail servers. Scenario 2: Client hosted primary mail server + hosters secondary & tertiary mail servers.
I am looking for alternate ways for backup / secondary MX servers for our planned PPA / Plesk deployment. An automated solution would be ideal, but we are falling short trying to find a solution to streamline the process and remove margin for error.
Somehow when customers add a new MySQL database they can select a Local MySQL server. It turns out this is the MySQL instance running on the CP server, can I somehow hide this server from the list?
I know they're just self signed certs on the postfix mail servers used in PPA, but how can I renew them, customer was cautious about it once they saw it had expired.
I have found this: [URL] .... and was wondering is this the correct procedure to update the SSL cert?
What could I fix by trying to start mysql server, recieve following errors:
plesk interface:
Code: Failed to restart the "mysql" service. Cannot start/stop/restart service: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service mysql restart Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities, e.g. stop mysql ; start mysql. The restart(8) utility is also available. start: Job failed to start
from the console:
Code: sudo service mysql start start: Job failed to start
Code: mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) output of plesk_11.5.30_reset_instance_data.log:
I'm in the process of installing PPA on infrastructure running Parallels Cloud Server. Each container has 2 interfaces, one public facing and a private interface for inter-server communication.
No problems installing PPA 11.5 (specifying IP's on commandline) or adding service nodes however, the firewall rules the documentation speaks of are nowhere to be seen? i.e.:
Important: After the installation, PPA creates the special firewall chain PPA-SN-Rules-INPUT used for communication with service nodes. Do not change it, otherwise, you will not be able to add service nodes to PPA.Click to expand...
Has this been dropped from PPA 11.5 ? (I recall seeing the firewall settings in 11.1) There is also no sign of the ppa.firewall tool that is also mentioned.
The only rule I see inserted is for Postgres on the management node, and 2 for pleskd on all of the nodes (open to world!).
I have two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
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.
