Migrating via the Command Line

To migrate from Plesk for Linux, cPanel, Confixx, or Pro Control
Panel to a Plesk for Linux server:

1. Log in to the destination Plesk server via SSH.

2. Make sure that Plesk Migrator is installed. If it is not, install it
   following the instructions here.

3. Copy a sample configuration file from the
   /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/panel-migrator/backend/conf/samples/
   directory to the /usr/local/psa/var/modules/panel-migrator/conf/
   directory. Choose one of the following sample files:

   1. The plesk-unix.simple.ini, cpanel.simple.ini,
      confixx.simple.ini, and ppcpl.simple.ini samples are basic
      and contain only the bare minimum of information necessary for the
      migration.
   2. The plesk-unix.ini, cpanel.ini, confixx.ini, and
      ppcpl.ini are comprehensive and well-commented configuration
      files enabling you to configure a wide range of migration options.

   For your convenience, the contents of the configuration file samples
   can be found here. After copying the file, rename it
   to config.ini.

4. Edit the config.ini file to specify the IP addresses of the
   source and destination servers, and also the source server’s root
   user SSH password (the bare minimum necessary for migration). You can
   also specify additional settings - see the Editing the Plesk
   Migrator Configuration File topic for more
   information.

5. Generate the migration list by running the following command:

   /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/modules/panel-migrator/plesk-migrator generate-migration-list
   

   The resulting file will be named migration-list and will be
   placed in the
   /usr/local/psa/var/modules/panel-migrator/sessions/migration-session/
   directory. The migration list is a list of objects (customer and
   reseller accounts, service plans, domains,…
