Hello,

Can anybody tell me, whether its possible to transfer the accounts from Plesk 5 to Cpanel 5?

I have a reseller account on Plesk 5 with some domains hosted, I want to transfer them to my own Server running with Cpanel & Red hat linux 7.3.

Is this possible to migrate the accounts between both of them?

I dont know of any script.. but you will have a problem migrating emails stored on the server - everything else should be not so difficult

do you know, if there is any tool available to transfer files from one account at different server to another account at different server & location?

you can use wget for mirroring the entrie site [as far as html links go]

go to the target home directory and type

wget -m -nH "http://domain.com"

and it will fetch all the files from the existing location

Then for mysql databases, you need to use mysqldump

For emails, best is to create all the email ids on this server and ask your users not to store any email on the server for two days! :)

quick and dirty

Let me make myself more clear with wget command:

1. I log into to SSH & change directory to /home/username/public_html/
2. then execute the command
wget -m -nH "http://username.com"
3. All done with files.

Will it copy all files, php, cgi, images, text/html etc.?

No, for me it is not dirty.
It will be very helpful for me, even though it takes lots of time.

Thanks for your help.

Just beware that it will not copy below the top level.
