  • 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 Plesk Migrator - Can't get it to work

Harm Jakob Tolsma

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.44 Update #3
I'm trying to move a few sites using the Plesk Migrator, but can't get it to work.
The IP-addresses below are not real (obviously).

Server A (target):
- IP: 1.2.3.4
- Has '4.3.2.1' listed under 'IP Access Restriction Management' (Denied from networks that are not listed)
- 'enabled = on' is in panel.ini under '[api]'
- No 'ip filter' or 'allowedIPs' under [api]
- 'telnet 4.3.2.1 8443' connects without error

Server B (source):
- IP: 4.3.2.1
- Has '1.2.3.4' listed under 'IP Access Restriction Management' (Denied from networks that are not listed)
- 'enabled = on' is in panel.ini under '[api]'
- No 'ip filter' or 'allowedIPs' under [api]
- 'telnet 1.2.3.4 8443' connects without error

What can I do to get the Migrator working?
 
On your target server, also add the IP of the target server in the access restrictions list (so that the target server can connect to itself)
