How-to: cPanel to DA migration

WebHostingUK said:
Im getting "The file must be of the form: type.creator.username.tar.gz" at Admin tools >>>admin backup/transfer >>>restore.

Opened up a ticket regarding this but the response is very slow, trying to get this completed today so I dont have to pay another month of cPanel + my old server.

Has it been replied?
 
So if i rename the gzip and upload then it won't work, but is there a easier way if i want to transfer big regular account from cpanel to DA? Especially maildir which is huge. Only way i know is to manually drag and drop email with thunderbird from one server to another.

Also why is the regular user backup contents different than created by the "/scripts/pkgacct username" command because regular user backup is created by the same function in cpanel. @smtalk, is there a change you can make this work at all? Big Thanks!

I moved all my cPanel accounts to DA using the regular ‘full’ backup in cPanel then renamed the files. It worked fine. I also used scp to transfer the larger accounts directly from server to server rather than to download from the old server to my computer the upload from my computer to the new server. This was much faster.
 
Really? That's very good news. I am surprised, he just said that it wont work. @smtalk can you please clarify? Thanks.

I said that filenames other than cpmove-username.tar.gz will not work, because if you try restoring file having username.tar.gz, DA will expect to find DirectAdmin-format inside :)
 
I receive this error

Two point here
1. Because in the UTF database I have two tables that are latin1_swedish_ci it is not transfering
2. Both vps the previous one and directadmin are in openvz so that might be the reason of quota issue

First of all thanks to the DA staff for putting so much effort in this feature, it is very much appreciated.

I did a few tests and it seem to go pretty well but I was wondering if someone has experience with a conversion from Cpanel to DA on Cloudlinux.
If I restore a account from Cpanel running Cloudlinux to DA it restores also the Cloudlinux folders like .cagefs I want my DA also running on Cloudlinux but what would be the best way to go forward? First restore the account and manually remove the clutter I have from Cpanel and Cloudlinux folders and after that convert the DA server to Cloudlinux or have DA already on Cloudlinux en rebuild Cagefs to correct the structure?

Thanks Rob

1. Your version of MySQL is likely different (older) on DA system, than the system you're migrating from.
2. Likely, but you may ask your VPS provider to enable quotas for you.

No

Directadmin

mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.60-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

Cpanel
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.45, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

So cpanel is older . Do you mean for migration to work both need to be same?
 
Hello,

On migrations there are too many "Error suspending the account:" errors but script could suspend the accounts. Could you fix that please?

"User madamista was suspended in the backup. Error suspending the account: "


Thanks,
Melih
 
Hello,

I've traced the code, and the only place I can see that could return a blank error would be if you have:
Code: 
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/user_suspend_post.sh
returning a non-zero error, no output, and if you have show_custom_script_path=0 in the directadmin.conf. There could be other things I'm not seeing, but that's what I am seeing.

Also check your /var/log/directadmin/errortaskq.log for clues, which possibly were not reported to the return message.

If you don't have the script there, and don't have show_custom_script_path=0 in the directadmin.conf, then please create a ticket so we can debug further.

Hello,

After cpanel migration the users receives all emails which has been seen before again as IMAP. Could we avoid this to happen? What can we do?

Thanks

Hello,

What would you like to solve? These are warnings only, not errors.

Thank you.

I guess they were using POP3, not IMAP.
