  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Migration - Cannot open: Permission denied

broncop

New Pleskian
I have massive troubble during migration from 9.4.5 to 11.
When i try a "normal" migration there are changes in the DNS that i would not have and some entrys are missing!!
So i try a manual migration discribed here -> http://kb.parallels.com/en/1152
After that i got the DNS Problem like in a normal migration and many errors on top.
My preferred way to migrate is the manual migration, because the new server will keep the ip address of the old one, and i save the time to change the ip address. ...it takes several hours to change the ip on a Plesk server with more than 1000 domains.
Here are one of the Errors from Log.

ERROR: (hosting object 'xxxx.de') Can not deploy content of domain xxxx.de
ERROR: () Archive error: from /root/work_dir//clients/xxxx/domains/xxxx.de/phosting/backup_private_1210231118.tgz to /var/www/vhosts/xxxx.de/private:
tar (child): /root/work_dir//clients/xxxx/domains/xxxx.de/phosting/backup_private_1210231118.tgz: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 2

...but it seems to be no permission Problem
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 288 24. Okt 12:19 backup_private_1210231118.tgz

any idea how i can fix it?
 
what about the path to the file? Each directory in the path needs to be accessible and be at least RX
 
thanks for the answer!
as i can see runs the process of migration/restore as root, so i think that cant be the problem. apart of this, the process creates the directories.
i have the described error for each domain and for each mailbox

...xxxx is the name of the customer

A couple of things to check that may be possibly causing problems (but maybe not):
- You may be finding that the files within the tarball are owned by someone else, or you are putting them in a directory with no write-permissions for the user running the process.
- The directory in which the files should be extracted could not be written. Changing the permissions on this directory should solve the problem.
 
Hello, I have very similar issue.

First of all, PMM fails to migrate an account from Plesk9 to Plesk11 like here http://forum.parallels.com/showthre...-error-since-11-5-30-UnknownParentClassObject, so I created archive (using PleskX.pl) and moved it to the new server manually.

When I try to restore it I get these errors in /usr/local/psa/PMM/rsessions/2013092610535435/migration.log:

But when I execute

/bin/tar -z -f /temporary_migration_directory/clients/client_name/domains/domain.com/backup_domain.com_mn_1309261252.tgz -xvm --transform s\|^\\\(\[^/]\\+\\\)\|\\L\\1\| -C /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com

it works perfect, and

gunzip (archivename)

works as well.

Please advise.
