Question Re-installing websites for the 'Apps' functionality?

[Jeroen Vermeulen]

Hi all,

I recently moved all my websites from Windows IIS to a Linux CentOS server.
Plesk is working great!

I installed some new websites with the built-in Apps function, it installs Joomla or Wordpress, and it allows me to automatic update it.
I also want this on the websites I moved manually, what would be the best solution for this?
It's about 40 Joomla websites, 20 Wordpress websites and 2 Magento websites.

Would the following work?
- Backup everything
- Delete everything
- Install the app
- Overwrite the folders and the database that the app made?

There are a few threads about this, but with little or no information.

Thank you very much.

Regarding WordPress you can attach previous WordPress installations on your migrated sites to the Plesk WordPress Toolkit. Just go to Websites & Domains > WordPress and click Scan. Have you tried?

Yes, the Wordpress work, the other websites don't work. (Joomla, Magento)

Unfortunately we have no Joomla or Magento ToolKit at the moment. Therefore only manual migration is possible here. You need to backup all content, then remove it completely and install back with Plesk Applications with the same database names, etc. After that you have to restore backups manually carefully.

Update: Joomla! Toolkit is finally available
