Plesk to cPanel fails

[lutronik]

Hello,

Please, I am trying to migrate Plesk 18 to cPanel, however this is failing.

I use, user "admin" and "su" to access server... this lists the accounts normally, etc ...

Hey there! The most important part of this error is the following line near the end:

Refusing to archive recursive docroot for Cpanel::Account::Subdomain=HASH(0x2c02360) at /tmp/J4Z34DiqPe/scripts/main.pl line 4060.

This indicates the domain you are trying to migrate has an additional domain that is using the same document root as the main domain. As cPanel doesn't have an equivalent to that configuration the Transfer Tool stops before any data packaging happens.

Can you check the domains on the account and see if that is indeed the problem you are experiencing here? If so, there are two ways to resolve this problem:

1 - Remove the addon domains from the Plesk server so there is only one domain with the same document root
or
2 - Manually transfer the account to the cPanel machine using the following steps:

On the Plesk server, download and run the pkgacct tool, ignoring the data inside the document root:

cd /scripts/
wget http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/cpanelsync/transfers_DEVEL/pkgacct/pkgacct-pXa
chmod +x pkgacct-pXa
/scripts/pkgacct-pXa --skipdocroot serv4all
[CODE]

Once that is complete you can transfer that backup file to the cPanel server and restore the account.  Then, after the initial account is restore, you would need to manually rsync the data from the serv4all Plesk user (which is likely in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com) over to /home/serv4all/ on the cPanel side of things.

If you have any questions it would be best to open a ticket with our migrations team to get specific details on how to perform this work.
