Resolved Migration 17.5 > 17.0.x blocked... temporary workaround???

[mr-wolf]

Being curious concerning the new features of 17.5 I upgraded one of my servers that are planned for termination soon. On this server I still had 3 websites that couldn't be migrated properly.

The webmaster of that site worked on that and now he has them successfully running on the new server.

I now want to repeat the Plesk migration of those sites as they are now not up-to-date anymore, but to my shock this is not allowed anymore.

Can I patch something so this check is skipped?
Otherwise I need to do it by hand...

To my knowledge a migration cannot be done from a newer version to an older version of the panel. It is only possible from an older version to the same or newer version.

However, it should be very easy to pack the files like

tar -czf my_archive.tar.gz /httpdocs
and dump the database content, then unpack them on the other server
tar -xf my_archive.tar.gz
and import the database dump there.

E-Mails can be migrated by drag & drop when you open both mailboxes (old and new server) at the same time in a mail client.

That's what I was afraid of...

Manual migration is boring ;-)
