Runtime error: Premature EOF without final boundary

[Dan F]

Hello!

I am hoping you can help me please. I have recently purchased a new dedicated server with 1and1, and I'm trying to transfer my Plesk data from my old server (also with 1and1, but Plesk 8.2.1) to the new server.

The new server runs Plesk 9.0, and Cent OS.

I started by backing up my data from the old server with...:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all /home/backup/plesk.psa -verbose

Some of the output from that:

# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all /home/backup/plesk    .psa -verbose
*** You are using old-style pleskbackup command-line interface.
*** Consider switching to new style documented in 'pleskbackup help',
*** because old style eventually will be dropped.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backup started (4 client(s), 10 domain(s))
Start date: Wed Mar 11 13:08:16 2009

Phase 1/2: collecting information
  All the clients/domains stuff here...
Phase 2/2: packing data
backup_sign: Can't find private key in database:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backup finished.
Finish date: Wed Mar 11 13:19:01 2009
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This created the "plesk.psa" file fine, which I transferred over to the new server.

I read that because the backup was done on Plesk8, and it's going onto Plesk9, that it needs to be converted.

Therefore, I ran this command (as found by Google):

/usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert -v convert -d /var/lib/psa/dumps/ plesk.psa

which says:

... other stuff such as clients/domains ... then:
gzip exec: gzip -c /var/lib/psa/dumps/PLSK006702520006.key>/var/lib/psa/dumps/converted_key_0903111306.tgz
gzip exec: gzip -c /var/lib/psa/dumps/PLSK006702510012.key>/var/lib/psa/dumps/converted_key_0903111306.tgz
gzip exec: gzip -c /var/lib/psa/dumps/PLSK006702520008.key>/var/lib/psa/dumps/converted_key_0903111306.tgz
Runtime error: Premature EOF without final boundary
[root@hermes ~]#

Any idea why this is occurring?

I'm guessing that it's something to do with the key, as the pleskbackup command gave the error "Can't get server's private key"?

Thank you in advance!
