cPanel to DA migration (with Personal License DA)

[copernic]

I am trying to migrate a cPanel account to a new VPS with a DA Personal License (limited to 1 account)
Migration fails with the following message
License is limited to 1 accounts, and you currently have 1

How can I do the migration please?

Try and rename user.admin.username.tar.gz to admin.root.admin.tar.gz, and restore the later.

Thank you, I saw this post, it deals with a transfer from DA to DA
The migration script cPanel to DA expects a file name of the form cpmove-user.tar.gz otherwise, the backup will be interpreted as a DA backup, right?

I don't know. As Personal licence only has Community-based support, I would suggest that you send a PM to @smtalk with a link to this thread. I am sure he is happy to help answering the question, and if needed look into making solutions for this.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to him a pm.

You can convert your cpanel backup on the cpanel server or any other server. The script does not require a DirectAdmin install. You should then be able to rename the backup and restore it as a normal DirectAdmin backup.

I tried to run the script on a cPanel server (based on https://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=58059&p=296948#post296948) but unfortunately, I get error like:
./cpanel_to_da.sh: line 116: /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin: No such file or directory

You would need to run it on DA server.

That's a shame. It is supposed to work, though admittedly I have never tried it myself.

Probably best to wait for smtalks reply, he'll know the best way forward.

Is it no longer possible to convert cpanel accounts on external servers?

If you have cpmove-username.tar.gz file somewhere, just run:

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/cpanel_to_da/cpanel_to_da.sh [B]/path/to/[/B]cpmove-[B]username[/B].tar.gz /home/admin/admin_backups/
chown -R admin:admin /home/admin/admin_backups/

Then in /home/admin/admin_backups/ try renaming it to admin.root.admin.tar.gz and restore it. I haven't tested it yet, so, if you're in trouble - just respond to the thread and we'll try to assist you further on this

Thank you!

Thanks, smtalk, it worked.
Just a note, the admin password has been changed following the transfer.

That's expected, it changed it to the one which was set on cPanel for that user.

To build on this OLD thread, if I have say 5 domains that are separate accounts on a CPANEL server, what would be the best way to migrate them in under a personal license?
