Can I export Plesk 7 configuration, and import into Plesk 7.5 reloaded?

[Imidazole]

I'm considering moving my box to another one.

The old one has Plesk 7. Can I export the configuration... Domain configs, limits, e-mail addresses, passwords, etc - And then import them on the new box with Plesk 7.5 Reloaded?

Is it possible?

In theory, you can use Plesk migration manager on the 7.5 server to "import" the data from the 7.0 server.

Is that just a button within the Plesk 7.5 control panel?

How do I set up the Plesk 7 server to allow this?

 

[Cranky]

Yes, the button in 7.5 server. You don't need to 'setup' the 7.0 server for anything ... just work from the 7.5 server. You'll need to allow SSH traffic between the 7.0 and 7.5 servers if you restrict it, otherwise it'll work fine.

Is there any other way to do this, the migration managerdoesn't seem to work here, I'm trying to migrate from a server wits Plesk 7.1.6 to a server with Plesk 7.5.1.

The error message I see when trying the migration manager is :
"Failed to upload the migration agent
Cannot transfer agent to the remote host
Lost connection with the remote host"

I urgently need to migrate all accounts on this server without resetting all user passwords. I also tried the backup utility, but this also isn't a solution because it doens't allow you to restore to another server...

Anyone can help me ?

OK, I found out what went wrong:

Updating to 7.5.2 already helped a bit ... then I recieved another error message :

When using a normal username:
"Failed to upload the migration agent
Cannot transfer agent to the remote host
Fatal migration error"
--> Not enough rights

When using root:
"Failed to upload the migration agent
Cannot transfer agent to the remote host
Unable to connect to host pooh.hosting-it.be: you have specified incorrect username or password
--> No direct root logon alowed via ssh

I temporary allowed root to logon directly via SSH and the migration worked

How do you enable the old server to accept SSH connections?
I am getting the same error you were getting.

 

[eilko]

edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and change PermitRootLogin no
to PermitRootLogin yes

then service sshd restart

 

[donb@]

bit of a newb here... do i type that in the black java window that pops up?

 

[eilko]

yes, the black window is the command prompt:

type:

pico /etc/ssh/sshd_config
make the changes
save file

type:

service sshd restart

Ok i already have Permission to access by SSH as root...

And i still get the same error...

Failed to upload the migration agent
Cannot send scout to the remote host
Fatal migration error

Im using Ubuntu 5.0.4 on my server.

Any Ideas of what can be wrong????

When i migrate from RH9 to Ubuntu migration works fine... but now that i want to migrate again i had this error......
