Simple Questions

[dietcheese]

Can someone who knows what they're talking about please answer these two simple questions:

1) Is the migration manager designed to migrate cron jobs that were entered via Plesk?

2) Is the migration manager supposed to copy custom directories created by users that are within their domain directory (i.e. /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/customdirectory/)

Because it isn't working for me.

Thanks,
DC

Migration manager is used to migrate accounts which includes cron jobs of that domain, data, mail, databases and also all the files under the domain directory.

Everything is included, also I think the ssl certificates of that domain are too included.

Thanks for your reply, except, how do you know, for certain, that what you're saying is correct? Personal experience? Plesk tell you?

Thanks

Anyone have a solid answer to this simple question?

HEllo,


bandurao had a proper answer to your question. He omitted the custom directory problem. That will not be migrated and neighter are the vhost.confs.

I have learned that custom directories directly beneath vhosts/ will not be copied, however custom directories beneath each domain (/vhosts/domain.com/) should be copied. Also, all cron jobs entered thru Plesk should be migrated.

For me, neither work, and there are no related errors.

This, from SWSoft:

Migration should migrate cron jobs, set up through Plesk's 'Crontab' function on each particular domain. Can you specify domain name, where such situation occured?

Also, Plesk migrates all the data stored in appropriate default directories, however manually created directories existing directly beneath vhost's root will not be migrated.

Unfortunately for me, and apparently many other users, neither of these functions work when I attempt to migrate from 7.5.4 to 8.1 (two different servers).

SWSoft, get your act together. Your migration manager is severely dysfunctional.

Hello,

This is what I said. Custom dirs WILL not be copied over. This is plesk and the ideea is that all customers are contained in their folders as they are.
The main ideea is containement. Unlike cpanel.

I guess I never understood why users don't have write permissions to their own domain directories in the first place. It seems to make sense that one should be able to create their own custom directories within their domain, programmers wanting to keep certain files out of httpdocs for instance. At least Plesk should provide a directory for this purpose...

Plesk provides a directory for this purpose.

the private directory, is there, to store files that you dont want to have them web accesible, but you can access them from your site files, via include/require/ftp.
