Issue Error message with WP update process "wrong directory" after move

itval

New Pleskian
Hi,

we had domain example.de with WP on vserver1 and moved it with Plesk Migrator to vserver2 and changed domain to example.com. The main directory on vserver2 however was still ..../example.de/... , the old one.

The site example.com works now for 3 months however on a daily basis we now get an error mail from Plesk showing:




Plesk
For following elements no updates have been installed:

1. Website "/httpdocs/wp/wp" (example.com): Failed to reset cache for the instance #1: filemng: Failed to change directory to /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp/wp: No such file or directory

System error 2: No such file or directory
filemng: Failed to change directory to /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp/wp: No such file or directory

System error 2: No such file or directory​

Therefore my questions:

1) Is this Plesk related or Wordpress? Our WP developer says Plesk....

2) If Plesk, how can I fix it and where?

The situation came from a missing parameter in the Plesk Migrator tool, so this is a recommendation to implement that as well.

thx,
Lino
 
If you're using the WordPress tool for each location, try scanning for them again. You should likely see a "broken" instance for the source one that you can remove if you're not using it or its files/database and the new one should pick up its new "home" regardless of directory change.
