zollerco is the name of your user account on the old box, right?

yes, the account it's not create in the new box with directadmin, and i restore using admin reseller.

i do (all in da box):

1. get the cpanel backup from a remote ftp
2. copy to import folder
3. export using the script, i change only the ip, dns and admin like reseller, not Admin, could be this?
4. then copy the exported file to /home/admin/user_backups
5. enter like reseller in da and try to restore

then i always i'm getting this error, i try differents files from differents servers.
 
@honesting: The accounts are not created when restoring a backup. You first have to create the account with the same username and then there's no problem restoring it. Check one of my previous posts, where I explain how to restore cpanel-to-DA converted backups.

2 problems converting cpanel to da

Hi

After building the backups, on cpanel machine, moving on da machine, and using l0rdph1l script, I 've go the backups in da format. Everything good until now.

I create some resellers and I started the restore operations from respective resellers accounts.

Finally, I have 2 problems. The restore operation did not create the ftp accounts, and, in case of only one domain, da did not show any subdomain. The last case is not so important, but the missing ftp accounts is. There are arround 3000 ftp account.
Now, there is anybody that can sugest me a solution for this issue ? Searching on this forum after something related, didn't revealed anything helpfull. Thank you.

I am really new to this .. and I don't know where to put these files. I know you don't put them in the "public_html" directory .. because I've tried and they don't work lol

My old server uses cPanel and my new server uses DirectAdmin and I want to transfer all of my sites seamlessly.

I do not have root access, but I do have reseller access on both servers.

I have downloaded the backups from the GUI in cPanel backup .. but what do I do with it?

WHERE DO I RUN THE CPANEL TO DIRECTADMIN CONVERSION TOOL????

Thanks!!
 
hmm?

Is this script helps me when i must migrate CP-DA with change a server location (so ip was also change)?
 
Will there ever be instruction on how to config and run this. Instead of trying to get bits and peices from 9 pages of messages.

Sorry I'm a newb and a little lost.

The script is not official DA software; it's an effort by one author, and then a community effort to explain, debug where necessary, and document it.

So the short answer is "not unless someone volunteers to do it".

how can i convert cp backup to DA files if i don't have root password to old machine? please help.
 
The newest versilon of the conversion tool will work fine on the DA server. We've done it that way.

Jeff
 
The domain files are not placed under the domain, what could be wrong?

I see the files are in the da backup tars...
 
This does not include IMAP restore.
Can this be added asap? I'll buy ya an evening of beer ;)
Tried it myself without any luck.

Have to switch over the last remaining cPanel server to DirectAdmin anytime soon.

Thanks.
 
I seem to be having some problems transferring over. This appears as the system message for all of the accounts that I'm trying to migrate over:

Unable to restore database xxxx_leadsdb.sql to xxxx_leadsdb : ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'xxxx'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Unable to restore database xxxx_trackingdb.sql to xxxx_trackingdb : ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'xxxx'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Database '' doesn't belong to you.

Does anybody have any ideas?
 
Cpanel 10 to DA migration tool needed!

Hello,

can anyone help ASAP!
I need to migrate from:

WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.1-C29
RedHat Enterprise 3 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

to

DA 1.254
on FreeBSD 5.4!


Anyone for help, solution, scripts.. but it MUST work.. I can not fail or work a week under this transition.
The worst is I have no contact with Cpanel /only DA , but Client wants to move in and I need to convince him that DA is better.


LMK
A.

P.S. I know that is a lot of post here, but some of them very old.. what you tool you suggest to use with above versions of Cpanel, DA and os.?
 
Heyah,
i tried using your script but facing this error:
I ran the script on my old server which had cpanel backup files and it created the new DA tar files with 1 common error for all my client accts:
Code: 
Shall we begin? (y/n) [y] y

Examining a2a.tar.gz...
        Fround user a2a..mv: cannot move `./import/a2a' to a subdirectory of itself, `./import/a2a/a2a'
.
        Switching to a2a.smart-host.us...
                Collecting subdomains...
                Building DNS...
                Processing FTPs...
                Collecting pop3 addresses...
        Copying remaining files...
        Creating domain pointers...
        Translating any Crontab entries... 0 total..
        Dumping databases...
        Creating DirectAdmin tarball...

So thinking that error can be avoided, i continued by ftping that file to my DA server ( /home/admin/user_setup) and then restoring it. I received the following error :
Code: 
Subject: An error occurred during the restore.	Today at 17:45

/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
