express transferred account stuck at http://servername.com/moving.page/

[Silver_2000]

Ive used express transfer to move an account a couple times and it never loads on the new server

it always ends up at

http://hostame.com/moving.page/

The files are there - the DNS is forwarded and looks right ...

Whats missing ?

Check the htaccess on the account.

Check the htaccess on the account.

Yes it appears that the express transfer put a redirect in the htacces on the root of the domain

Thanks !!

RedirectMatch \.(dynamiccontent|pl|plx|perl|cgi|php|php4|php4|php6|php3|shtml)$ http://hostname.server.com/moving.page/

I bet since the first transfer failed - when attempting the second transfer it moved the htaccess that had been left in the old server

BOY it would be nice to have some documentation ...

What is express transfer?

 

[Silver_2000]

thats a great question - normally I would point you to the documentation BUT it doesnt exist in the docs

its a check box in the transfer multiple accounts option

I THINK - It forwards DNS from the old server to the new server as soon as the transfer is finished - trying to keep from having issues with propagation

there is some info here

I don't see this option named that in WHM account transfers section.

cPanel version: cPanel 11.24.2-C32034 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9

I asked thinking it was 3rd party tool of some sort.

What cPanel version there?

 

[Silver_2000]

cPanel 11.24.2-C32034 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9

Its there - its not 3rd party

Its in Current

You see it as a check box once you connect to the source server and see the list of accounts

Its one of 3 check boxes to the right of the account name

Express transfer DOESNT move the IPs for parked domains

WHAT a manual pain in the ass
