Question Move all sites to another drive

[lws-chris]

I have a Plesk Obsidian server and I need to move all my sites and databases to a different volume. I found this documentation for moving the Virtual Hosts on Windows, but I'm on CentOS 7. And there's no information I can find at all on moving the databases.

Am I stuck and have to just migrate to a new server? If I do just redo everything, how do I place the vhosts and databases in the separate drive location when installing Plesk again?

Okay, so I just went the route of redoing it all on a new server but now I have another problem. My Plesk admin domain is now always showing the Apache test demo page.

I edited all the locations of the data directories in /etc/psa/psa.conf. Just like it says to do in this documentation but it doesn't seem to have taken. Are there any other steps I need to take that aren't documented here?

Here is my config:

# Plesk tree
PRODUCT_ROOT_D /usr/local/psa

# Directory of SysV-like Plesk initscripts
PRODUCT_RC_D /etc/rc.d/init.d

# Directory for config files

Use transvhosts.pl utility:

# plesk bin transvhosts.pl --help
Utility to transfer vhosts content from HTTPD_VHOSTS_D directory to new place.

Usage:
        --dest-dir   <path>  Destination path. Path to new vhosts directory.
                             Example: /path/to/new/vhosts.
                             If directory does not exist it will be created.

        --correct-scripts    Changes user scripts.
                             Old vhost path is replaced to new path in content of all files.
