• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

BUG: Migration of WordPress Applications with separate default DB Server

Jay Versluis

Regular Pleskian
Hello Igor,

I've discovered a bug with Migration Manager - see below:

---------------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCT Plesk Panel, VERSION 10.4.4 (MU9), OPERATING SYSTEM CentOS 6, ARCHITECTURE 64bit

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION AND STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I'm migrating subscriptions from a source with installed applications (in my case WordPress instances). On my source I have a separate DB server as default MySQL server defined. I'm using the same setup on my destination server. In total we're talking about 4 different servers here: two source (main and DB), and two destination servers (main and DB).

ACTUAL RESULT
When I use migration manager to bring a subscription across, the new database gets created on localhost instead of the defined database server.

EXPECTED RESULT
When an application gets created locally, Plesk correctly uses the defined DB server instead of localhost. I would expect Migration Manager to create the database on the defined default DB server too instead of localhost.

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Migration Manager also changes two values in the database:
In the table wp_options, both option_id 1 (site_url) and option_id 37 (home) get changed to https://sitename.com instead of http://sitename.com. This results in the migrated site not being displayed properly.
--------------------------------------------------------------

If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. I will test this with an application other than WordPress (OSticket of PHPlist) to see if the result is different. I will report back.
