Error change hosting-type from "Forwarding" to "Web hosting"

[subTH]

I have installed Plesk 12.0.18 on my server and want to change the hosting-type from "Forwarding" to "Web hosting". I change the type via "Websites & Domains" view (see attachments).

After I insert username and password, I get following error message:

Some fields are empty or contain an improper value. ('home' = '')


Deleting the domain and creating it from scratch is a bad option. I would have to create all e-mail accounts and migrate the data.

Hi subTH,

if you have a closer look, there is no webspace - location defined for your domain. ( see image 3 from the attached files ). In order to change the hosting - type, please define a webspace - location, before changing the hosting type.

Hi UFHH01,

thanks for your reply. This leads me again to plesk2.png view this time with IP select (Plesk4.png)
After I entered username/password this ends in the same error message like on plesk3.png

Hi subTH,

please check, if your subscription plan for this domain does allow the hosting in general. Don't forget to "sync", if you changed something in the subscription plans.

 

[subTH]

it is the same subscription plan (unlimited) like my other domains.
Maybe the error message is a result of a migration from another server?

Some fields are empty or contain an improper value. ('home' = '')
​

Perhaps I should compare the settings, especially "home" directly in the database

Hi subTH,

you could as well try to use the command line to change the forward with for example:

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain --update example.com -hosting true -ip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -hst_type phys -dns true -login ftpuserlogin -passwd ftpuserpass -cgi true -php true

where you have to make sure, to modify the red -highlighted parts with your own credentials.
Please see the possible command options with "/usr/local/psa/bin/domain --help"

Thanks for the hint! I'll report the result once I've executed it

Between Christmas and New Years Eve I had some time to investigate and this article solved my problem:
