  • 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 Plesk to Plesk Migration Not Working

mdraselkhan

New Pleskian
Hello, I'm using AWS LightSail Instances for both servers. I tried to migrate from the old server to the new server. To do that I followed multiples guides. But at the end of the day, I failed to do. Suffering this issue for more than 2 months. When I try to get an error "Failed to connect to the source server 'source'by SSH: not a valid OPENSSH private key file".

The guides are that I followed:
1. Authentication by SSH (Linux)
2. How to set up SSH keys for Plesk server?
3. How to use SSH keys with Plesk
4. Resolved - Problem with migrating from Plesk ubuntu to Plesk ubuntu

I think I did something that related to the server users, which user account should I use to do?

The old server has [ubuntu & root] users.
And the new server has [centos & root] users.

Anybody here to guide me step by step?

So many thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
I was run the ssh command [$ ssh-keygen] as a "root" user not a "centos" user on the new server (targeted). Then I copied the text from the /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file of the new server (targeted) to the old server's (source) /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Here is I removed all existing text from the old server's (source) /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file, then I paste the copied text. After that, I restart the ssh service by the command [$ service sshd reload]
