Migrating to DirectAdmin

[deeh514]

Hi,

I need to migrate few domains from a server running no control panel to a new server with DirectAdmin panel.
Most of my searches resulted in guides from panel to panel. Any ideas?

Both servers run Centos (5.6 on older one and 6.0 on the new one)

Thanks

Create accounts...

Create accounts for each user, if the user has more than 1 domain you still only need 1 account for him.
Once each account is created then you can use an ftp program or the file manager to move the files into the new account for the various domains. All files will need to be located in the public_html folder for the domain, your existing file/ folder structure may be similar or it may be in a folder called www, this is the equivalent to Direct admin using public_html.

Thanks, will try.
For some reason i thought it had to be more complicated than that.

The only complicated part would be move emails, if you have on old server IMAP you should be able to move, if not would be harder.

Anyway, if you dont have email or doesnt matter of emails so no hard work to do

Before moving get sure, that PHP is compiled with all necessary modules, in case you've been using extra modules on your old server. Compare output of phpinfo() on both servers.

Compare and change if necessary mySQL settings, specially those about default charsets in /etc/my.cnf.

Take care about permissions, by default if using mod_php, all scripts will be running from name of user apache, you should use either mod_suphp or include mod_ruid to get scripts running from proper user.
