Question Duplicate (copying) existing website config

[topkat2]

Server operating system version

Debian 20

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.43

Hi, I really struggle to find something on the subject. I have to configure 6 "websites" that nearly have the same configuration. I'll be glad that it exists a functionality to copy existing website and change only the few settings that differ.

How can I handle that please ?

I have tried migration plugin, but it allow only migration from external server, I tried modifying save file with no success;

Could you point me to the right direction please ?

Have you tried the website importer?

Importing Websites

You may want to import content from a different website that belongs to you but is hosted elsewhere into Plesk. Use t...

Thanks, will it copy all site setup ? Not only files ?

Also I have an error when I try to import:

Failed

Scanning for content

Unable to migrate the website: failed to execute commands with the web RPC agent.

Possible reasons:
1. PHP is disabled for the source site.
Make sure that PHP is enabled and operational on the source website.
2. PHP version is less than 5.2.
Upgrade PHP to version >= 5.2 to migrate the website.
3. There are rewrite rules in effect (e.g. mod_rewrite configured with the .htaccess file) making the web RPC agent inaccessible.
Temporarily disable the rewrite rules to migrate the website.

I don't use PHP since is a nodeJs project.

Any clues ?

hello @topkat2 ,

what is the differences between your sites?
I mean what kind of tuning you've made for them ?

if you're talking about changes like memory limits, ssl settings, and othe hosting params - probably it would be enough to create service appropriate plan
with all changes you needed and create future subscriptions based on this service plan ?

 

[topkat2]

Hi, here is the list of settings I need to copy:

• nodeJs app settings
• git deploy actions and settings
• hosting params (root folder)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by service plan ?

 

[Nik G]

you can read about service plans at our on-line documentation.
but it is not the solution in your case.

it seems there's no functionality in Plesk for cloning domains

There is the Website Copying option, which effectively allows you to clone a domain to another domain. I am not sure however if this will also copy all NodeJS configuration. I assume it does, but you'll have to test/try that your self.

 

[Nik G]

don't think it will work.
website copying copy only files. but TS needs that domain settings be copied.
