  • 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.

Issue Migration fails with error "Failed to copy web files for subscription"

Giorilias

New Pleskian
SOURCE SERVER
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Plesk 12.5.30 update 47 (it has the latest microupdate installed)

DESTINATION SERVER
Windows Server 2012 R2
Plesk 12.5.30 update 47 (it has the latest microupdate installed)

I am trying to migrate a subscription from Source to Destination server.
I downloaded the RPC Agent to the Source server and have ran it as Administrator.
Also, I have disabled firewall in both servers.

The migration starts successfully, but it fails with error:
error: Failed to copy web files for subscription 'mysubscription.com'
Migration tools tried to perform operation in 3 attempts: Failed to execute remote command on 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' server. Check debug log (usually at "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\panel-migrator\rpc-agent\debug.log") for more details.

This is NOT the issue of kb articles:
http://kb.plesk.com/en/128063 (has been fixed in microupdate #19)
http://kb.plesk.com/en/128065 (Try to disable Firewall on source server)

I checked the debug log, and it has the error:
[2016-09-20 19:24:15,434] [DEBUG] parallels | Put contents to file 'C:\panel_migrator\version'
[2016-09-20 19:24:23,561] [DEBUG] parallels | Put contents to file 'C:\panel_migrator\panel-migrator-rsync-installer-2.exe'

Hello!

Probably there are still running RPC agent or rsync server on source from previous migrations? Could you please check running processes on your source server named like 'panel-migrator-*'? Need to terminate all of them if any and then run RPC agent again.
 
Also, I migrated a subscription from another Windows server 2012 R2 Standard, with Plesk 12.0.18, and it completed successfully.
So, probably the problem is on the source server.
