Moving all data from a Plesk 8.2.0 server to a new 10.1.1 server

[SFMAdmin]

Hi there,

I need a little pointing in the right direction.

I have a system with Plesk 8.2.0 installed with around 211 sites with email and databases running on it.

Because of the age of the hardware and such, we have decided to install Plesk 10.1.1 as a fresh install on the new box and then try and migrate the sites from the 8.2.0 box.

However, that's where I'm stumped. I don't really know what I'm looking for in the documentation to achieve this.
Does anybody know if this is even possible?

Regards,
Chris

Just use Plesk Migration manager and following KB article - http://kb.odin.com/en/9436

OK, I followed the KB article and the migration works as expected.
However, the migrations exit with an error. The error doesn't appear to affect the migrated site, although I don't know how to check this other than to diff the vhost directories and mail dirs.

The error is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<execution-result status="success">
<object name="changemypages.co.uk" type="domain">
<message code="ExecCmd::ExFailed" severity="error">

Stderr is
Can't update domain: Unrecognized option: '-cp_access'

</execution-result>

I've done a few searches but can't find anything to do with this.

Try to use following workaround:

SELECT val FROM dom_param WHERE dom_id = <dom_id> AND param = 'perm_id';
DELETE FROM Permissions WHERE id = <perm_id> AND permission = 'cp_access';

where <dom_id> is ID of changemypages.co.uk domain.
on source server before migration.

OK, I will try that, incidentally I also tried a full migration from a Plesk 8.2 box to the new Plesk 10 box.

I really don't understand what the error is, could you shed some light on it?
