Unfortunately provided steps to reproduce are not enough. More detail is needed about configuration of source server, target server and domain on the source server. Also, provided error not looks as migration error.

If my guess is correct, your old server is using Apache php handler and new server it will be fastcgi one. In my opinion, I guess two fix will be there.

1. Check all vhosts.conf in old server and remove entries starting from "php_admin_flag'" and rebuild entire apache vhosts using httpdmng utility. and then start migration again.

2. Second option you can try is change the default apache handler in new server to Apache handler and install same old php version and make it default and then once migration is completed, then you can change the default php version if needed .

Please share more details like old server php version, plesk version, php handler which is used (apache/fastcgi) etc and same details that in the new server as well.
