Im moving a bunch of sites ( 200+ ) to a new cpanel server, on a new network. The account transfer feature comes in quite handly I must say, however there is one thing it won't do. It wont take with it the mySQL username and passwords for each DB. Is there any way I can do this myself manually? That is, without having to contact each and every site owner, as they have probably either forgotten them or didn't record them. Its also quite a hassle to have to contact them all and request this info. I asked in the CPanel forums, and also put in a request @ bugzilla. Nick says that the account transfer utility already moves this info, but it doesnt. He also said he would look into it for me, which is all great don't get me wrong, I just need to do this now, not when he gets a free moment :P

As long as the new server doesn't already have clients, you can just move the database 'mysql' on the old server to the new one, and that will restore all of your permissions and mysql users....
