  • 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.

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!
