migration manager in plesk8 finally works for confixx 3
mahlzeit,
no i've used the migration manager from confixx 3.1.2 -> plesk 8, suse 9.3 64bit and it finally works!
problems were only minor and could be solved with some hours work:
- mysql-databases weren't migrated: done manually with mysqldump
- confixx-co-domains were transfered individually, so webpages multiplied, one directory for each co-domain. fixed by migrating only one domain and then entering the co-domains in plesk manually.
- current numbers of pop3-accounts were taken is max-limit in plesk, same for max-HDD-space. fixed quite quick with a group-operation on all domains (would be a lot of manual work if old limits would be needed)
- confixx-resellers were migrated to plesk-clients. confixx-clients are domain-users. since they only can log in with their main-domain (and old password of webXX) i'll send a mail to each of them.
- domain-redirects from confixx didn't all survive.
- some .htaccess/htpasswd didn't come to the new directory, fixed manually
- domains with german umlauts weren't transfered
- needed to change some absolut paths in htaccess, PHP- and CGI-scripts of course.
tip:
before migration stop old server from accepting mail. old mailboxes are converted to Maildir. if the old-server would accept more mail while migrating it would be left on the server.
ciao
