Tech help! Plesk and cPanel




Posted by wirefusemedia, 06-15-2008, 07:58 PM
Ok, Currently I have two VPS servers. I am canceling one of my VPS servers since I got a better deal somewhere else, better ports ect.. My vps is using cPanel. The other VPS is using Plesk. From my cPanel VPS, I though there was an option via WHM to transfer accounts / files from my Plesk VPS. Is this possible? Thanks!

Run a cpanel update - try again. It's looking for a file it can't find. The update might add the file. Post back when you have done this.

I'm probably going to be in the vocal minority here, but I would urge anyone thinking about migrating from one control panel software to another to NOT do this via the automated way. Best possible way to do this would be to do everything manually. Past experience talking here.

I agree, I migrated a big site from cPanel to Plesk and it went hitchless just rsyncing the files over. Migrated a site from cPanel to cPanel, problem, Plesk to Plesk, problem as well.

I've had it work the automated way but that's the exception, more likely then not (again just my experience) even if it seems to go "fine" it ends up messing up something or other (at least when going from one type of CP to another).

The automated cPanel transfer tool has been nothing but hell for quite a few of our clients who have tried to move themselves from Plesk. As already stated here in the thread, you'd certainly want to go with a manual migration.

Weird because I just used it from another vps I have (Yes I have a lot of them XD) and It was from cPanel to cPanel and all of the data went smoothly, the only error is 1 subdomain didn't work. o.0

The error is about the missing perl module FastImport Please do /scripts/checkperlmodules or /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules

There's a toll-free transfer assistance hotline available for anyone migrating to cPanel, even if it's from another cPanel machine. You may want to look it up.
