Plesk 7.5.2 Reloaded, Linux
I have to move 1 domainname from one client to another client.
How can I do this?
(No, I do not want to delete the domainname from one client
and then setup again the same domainname onto the other
client's account.)

BTW: Yes, I also have access with phpmyadmin to the
PLESK-table "psa". I think, it has to do with the

SELECT psa
FROM `domains`
LIMIT 0 , 30

There is a row called "cl_id" and I think, if I change just only
the number of "cl_id", then the domainname will automatically
be moved, but I am not so very sure. I am not sure, if this will
be enough...

Thank you very much.

Yes, you can just change cl_id, but there is one more way:

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain.sh -u <domain> -clogin <client_login>

Wonderful. I was just updating this.

For those who would like to more details how to change it.
Install the phpmyadmin to your PLESK-server to any
htaccess-protected directory, for example

http://www.mydomainname.tld/mytopsecrectdir/phpmyadmin/

Edit the config.inc of phpmyadmin:

Username
is the same username like you use for PLESK-login.

Password
is the same password like you use for PLESK-login.

Now you can see (and edit) all of PLESK with your
phpmyadmin.

Here in my case to change the client-id "cl_id", look:

Server: localhost
Database: psa
Table: domains

If you have cl_id number 1 for you, and another client has
cl_id number 3, just edit this in this table "domains" and
save it. The info with your phpmyadmin will show you
something like this here:

SQL-command:
UPDATE `domains` SET `cl_id` = '1' WHERE `id` =3 LIMIT 1 ;

If you relogin to your https://www.mydomainname.tld:8443/
then the edited domainname will appear under your client-id-
account number 1.

Background:
We have only 1 IP-number. All the domainnames must be
moved to only 1 client-account. Then the "anonymous
ftp"-icon
will be active to get your own "anonymous ftp". And the
clients
itself? Well, they can still login to Plesk by
"domainname.tld"
and its password. Just give them "domain-management"-access.

Oh, thank you for this nice tip. Thats also a good idea.

BTW, in plesk 7.5.3 you can do this from the control panel:

5. [+] It is now possible to transfer domains from one client to another using the control panel.
