Migration from cpanel to plesk 11

Gabrielpasv

New Pleskian
After successfully setup plesk on ec2 instance on amazon I am now ready to move from cpanel to Plesk 11

As I have never done this before I wanted to ask you about some tips. I already google it but I couldn't find too much information.

Anything in particular you suggest me ? Is there a good tutorial that I did not find online ?

Please help me.

Thank You
 
Install Migration & Transfer Manager on the destination server. You can do this in one of the following ways:

  • Login Server Administration Panel.
  • To install it through the Server Administration Panel, go to Tools & Settings > Updates and Upgrades. The Parallels Installer web interface will open in a new window or tab. In the Installer window, click Add Components, select the checkbox corresponding to the Migration & Transfer Manager component, and click Continue.
 
Thanks for the help. That was what I need however still does not work.

When I tried to open Updates and Upgrades it opens to another browser window and never load the site.

I found some docs stating about port 8447 being used by another program. I killed that was running on 8447 and Still same issue.
After I killed there's nothing running on that port anymore.

Here is the URL it tried to open
https://<my_ip>:8447/?secret=&locale=en-US

It looks like it's getting timed out.
 
Nevermind... I am using a ec2 instance on amazon. All I had to do is add tcp port 8447 to the inbound security group :)

Thanks
 
Darn it,

issues never ends. :)

Now I was able to see the login page but I cannot login. I do not have root password as I use other user with a private key to login. What do you suggest ?

I think root password is disable in ssh by default. Maybe should I try enable it and setup a password ?

Let me know Thanks
