Question Site Import Extension Windows to Linux with Wordpress

mfitconsultants

New Pleskian
I am looking at migrating a few Wordpress sites over form a windows Plesk installation to a Linux (Ubuntu) Server.

However, when looking to import my wordpress instance I get the following warning?

Failed to register WordPress instance at '/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/' in WordPress Toolkit on the target server.
You will not be able to manage application with the help of WordPress Toolkit. [Hide details]
Command execution failed on the local server with non-zero exit code.
command: plesk ext wp-toolkit register -path /httpdocs/ -domain-id 5
exit code: 3
stdout:
stderr: [2018-09-16 06:43:58.850] ERR [util_exec] proc_close() failed ['/opt/psa/admin/bin/filemng' 'ftpuser' 'exec' '/var/www/vhosts/domain.com' '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/wp-toolkit/vendor/wp-cli/wp-cli/bin/wp' '--path=/var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs' 'config-settings' 'get' '--params=DB_CHARSET,DB_NAME,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD,DB_HOST,DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE,PATH_CURRENT_SITE,MULTISITE,SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL,WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE,WPCACHEHOME,WP_DEBUG,WP_DEBUG_LOG,WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY,SCRIPT_DEBUG,SAVEQUERIES,WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE,WP_HOME,WP_SITEURL,CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS' '--format=json'] with exit code [67]

{"err_code":40003,"err_message":"Unable to read or execute files from wp-admin\/includes directory': \/var\/www\/vhosts\/domain.com\/httpdocs\/wp-admin\/includes"}

exit status 3


Could anyone guide me as to how to fix this so I can control using the wordpress toolkit through Plesk?
 
Make sure that you have something like "Cannot write: Disk quota exceeded" related to this problem in /var/log/plesk/panel.log
In this case, try to set temporarily hard quota on disk space for specific domain on Unlimited in Home > Subscriptions > example.com > Web hosting access and repeat migration.
