  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved migration error

fabian koeppel

Basic Pleskian
Hello

I want Migrate from a onyx Server to a other onyx Server whit the Plesk Migrate tool on Webinterface. Both servers have ubuntu 16.04

This error occurs after entering the login information from the source server:

Preparing migration
Failed to fetch basic information about resellers, clients and domains data from source servers
Cause: Failed to execute SQL query on Plesk database: failed to parse JSON returned by SQL script.
Query:
SELECT Subscriptions.id as subscription_id, clients.id, login, pname
FROM clients
LEFT JOIN Subscriptions ON
Subscriptions.object_id = clients.id
AND Subscriptions.object_type = 'client'
WHERE clients.type = 'reseller'

Command's exit code: 255
Command's stdout:
Command's stderr: Died at AgentConfig.pm line 23.

That is a critical error, migration was stopped.
 
First of all make sure that MySQL server on source server works fine and you can successfully execute this SQL query manually with:

# plesk db
mysql> SELECT Subscriptions.id as subscription_id, clients.id, login, pname FROM clients LEFT JOIN Subscriptions ON Subscriptions.object_id = clients.id AND Subscriptions.object_type = 'client' WHERE clients.type = 'reseller';
 
sorry my mistake. Ubuntu have by default a not activatet root user. Ubuntu have a other admin user and works whit sudo root privilegues. I have enter this user, but not work. Now i have activated the root user and add him ssh access. now migrator works. Sorry that I used your time because of this stupid mistake from my.
