• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Question Website import extension

Denis Gomes Franco

Regular Pleskian
Hi,
I'm trying to use the Website Import extension to move my Wordpress-based websites that are hosted via RunCloud.

The extension is able to connect via SSH (FTP won't work, as the server is configured to only accept SFTP connections; by the way this extension should support SFTP - not the same as FTPS) but no matter what I enter in the document source/files root fields, I cannot get it to correctly scan for contents. It says "Unable to locate the document root directory of the website".

To see if everything is ok I fired up a terminal and connected via SSH using the same credentials and I can access the files just fine. Here's what I used in the extensions' configuration on the advanced mode (domain name has been redacted for privacy):

Source domain name: ftp.<domain>.com.br
Source website url: www.<domain>.com.br
Source document root: /home/runcloud/webapps/<name>/
Connection type: SSH
Username: runcloud
Password: <ssh password>
Files root: home/runcloud/webapps/<name>/
Get list of files mode: Automatic
Way of transfer files: Automatic

When I log in via SSH the terminal drops me on /home/runcloud/ but I can go outside this (eg. looks like it's not chrooted). Then I can simply enter the above mentioned folder and LS the files, and they're all there.
 
Goddamnit! Just because I posted this, the thing started working! Aaaaah! Well, at least for ONE site. But the database dump failed, I need to check the old server's configuration.

EDIT: And now it wont work again. Gah!
