  • 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.

Resolved Plesk Migration and Courier-IMAP

New Pleskian
Ok so this is a two part issue..

Firstly, when trying to use Plesk Migration to migrate my clients websites, I get a two part error regarding Apache Modules, my knowledge of SSH is slightly limited but I know enough to just about install modules, but I can find zero documentation on the following modules I'm being told to install, furthermore, I'm sure atleast one of these are depleted now? (CentOS 6 to CentOS 7)

The following Apache modules are not installed on the destination server:
authn_alias, authn_default, authnz_ldap, authz_default, disk_cache, ldap, python.
Please install and enable these modules to prevent possible problems.

Then the other part is about following Apache modules which are disabled, now I would paste which ones these are, but when I selected them, it essentially wiped all of the modules from the Apache Web Server menu in Plesk, so now there's one long list that looks a little like...

The following Apache modules are disabled on the destination server:
auth_basic, authn_anon, authn_dbm, authz_dbm, authz_groupfile, authz_owner, cache, cgi, deflate, expires, ext_filter, file_cache, headers, include, info, logio, mem_cache, perl, php5, proxy, proxy_ajp, proxy_balancer, proxy_connect, proxy_ftp, proxy_http, rewrite, speling, status, suexec, userdir, usertrack, version, vhost_alias.
Please enable these modules to prevent possible problems.

So now my next steps is to revert my server back to its default state and start again. But I'm still stuck with my emails, now I could essentially drag the emails from the old server, set up the account on the new server, and drag and drop them - this works (for the most part) apart from deleting, moving and replying to emails, which is ofcourse because the old server uses Courier-IMAP rather than Dovecot, and I read that during the Migration process this is transparent, but which came first, the chicken or the egg?

So now I'm stuck, seriously any advice, alternative methods for the emails that isn't related to a local client, or any documentation handy right now would be really helpful, and using CloudTech isn't a possibility at this current moment unfortunately due to other reasons!

Thanks
 
Hello!

Was any error message reported when you`re trying to apply changes? Anyway, migrator detects apache modules from Plesk, not directly from apache and if you faced with some problem after your try to enable some modules using Plesk CP the most likely Plesk lost this information and migrator got wrong list of modules from panel. Use httpd -M to view the list of enabled modules. From my point of view, now you can ignore messages about missing apache modules and take a look on they if any site with problems appears.
And I can`t understand how you migrated your mail accounts :) Using migrator or using some other way, could you please explain?

I just said "f--k it" and hit migrate anyway, emails seem to be migrating fine - so as far as I'm concerned, I'm good, I'll settle with just using it for emails!
