Hello.
Before posting a new thread on this, I searched the forum high and low on this issue and I did find some info, but not enough.
I may well make a mess of it if I try to do this manually before checking more details.
I had a "regular" license for years on my VPS, so the way I self-learned to accommodate multiple domains for different websites was with individual users.
A couple of years ago, my provider told me I could shift to a Personal license if I had up to 10 domains and get it for free with my VPS package.
For my small needs it's more than enough (what I payed for was overkill).
BUT
I had not really understood the different structures between what I had and the Personal license.
So now I am stuck with the error of having 5 excess users, and I need to merge them into admin.
I have read the instructions in the DA documentation and some threads here on the forum. But I am far from sure that I have a clear idea of how to go about it.
What I need to transfer are a series of Wordpress installations, a couple of phpBB forums, the mySQL databases for them, and a series of email accounts.
Not so much stuff nor terribly complicated. But some of the domains are filtered through CloudFlare.
The "admin" user is not empty, it is connected to a functioning domain name and has WP and other stuff installed. So one of the merge modes that I have found is not usable.
Before I erase the 5 excess users, I should use the script to transfer the domains, if I understand right. The mySQL databases should be restored manually (that I can do, I have backups).
Am I missing still something?
Thanks for your help.
