Hi !

when I try to use the migration Manager on my Plesk 9.5.1 (same with 9.3.0) to migrate some domains from an 8.6 Plesk I got the following error:

Runtime error in migration handler:
<class 'xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException'> /usr/local/psa/PMM/var/20100506171248139/dump.xml:6:56: not well-formed (invalid token)

Can anybody help me ?

Thanks.

I have submitted request to developers regarding this problem. Looks like dump.xml contains non-printable characters.
I will update thread with results as soon as I receive it.
 
Hi !

I guess this is the problem:
<custom-button open-in-same-frame="true" text="z^Lö÷" url="/cserver/index.php" interface-place="navigation" sort-priority="10" visible-to-sublogins="true">
<content>
<cid unpacksize="10240" path="clients/slemkeknd/domains/abcweww.de" type="icon">
<content-file size="10240">backup_abcweww.de_4psacserver.gif.71_1005071020.tar</content-file>
</cid>
</content>
</custom-button>

I have already tried to rename this button on the source server, but the XML is still defect.

Could you please provide full dump.xml for the continuing of investigation?
