Transfer problem

[markus79]

Hi,
I've been transferring all my websites to a new server. All transfers have worked, excpet for one that is about 35GB.

It seems that it crashed or stopped during the "Restoring Files" part, because that's where the log ends. The site's directory and all the files are there in /home, but when I try to go into it it says permission denied. It doesn't look like it set the right permission(s). Is there any script I can run to fix this?

thanks
mark

Sometimes it's really better to backup and restore the accounts from shell...

to backup an account
/scripts/pkgacct username

to restore an account
/scripts/restorepkg username

 

[markus79]

it looks like it assigned the wrong owner to the account. that's why i'm getting permission errors. i wonder if i attempt to change the username/account name that it would go thru the directory and correctly assign the owner.

ujr -- i have the tarball from the transfer - whats the command to restore thru shell using the tarball?

thx

If that's the case, there is a good possibility that it may work.

Nevertheless, with a 35GB account, I would suggest packaging it and restoring it using SSH.

i did as you showed but it says it can't find the tarball... the account is d1tv312 so i'm doing....

/scripts/restorepkg d1tv312

and there is a file called cpmove-d1tv312.tar in my home directory. It's not a tar.gz file though, does that matter? I get the following:

Searching /home....

Searching /usr/home....

Searching /web....

This feature will restore full backups, cpanel backups and cpanel move files in the format of:
cpmove-user.tar.gz, user.tar.gz, backup-date_time_user.tar.gz<br /><br />
The files must be in one of these directories on the server:
/home,/usr/home,/web,/home2,/home3,/root,/usr<br /><br /><span class="b2">You must upload the file to one of the above locations before
using this feature.</span>

try gzipping the tar file for this user first. The restorepkg normally expects a tar.gz file
