Hi.

One of my client started hosting via taking a reseller a/c from another hosting provider[CPanel] . He has around 150 domains in his reseller panel.

Now, he got his own CPanel dedicated server at another location, and wants to move all the domains from his reseller a/c to his own dedicated server.

At this point, the passwords that we have access to are:

Reseller access at the hosting company.
CPanel/Root in his dedicated server.

Now, Is there any way that we can transfer the domains from his reseller a/c to his own dedicated server.

Any ideas for a quick move?


:homer:

If you have the passwords and user name on the accounts you can move them that way. Nick added that feature about a month ago.

another question.

Can resellerA from serverA move his domains to resellerB on serverB and vice versa if he has access to both the reseller login on the servers ?

i.e eliminating the need of root access on any of the server ?

If you're asking what I think you're asking, no it doesn't.

I submitted a feature request a couple weeks ago for the ability to move all accounts owned by a certain reseller in one shot.

Currently, even without root on the box you're moving from, you can move the accounts one by one, but even if you have root, you have to check 39394875985 checkboxes and seek out the accounts that belong to that reseller...it could be a lot less tedious. :)

does the usage of the account move function in cpanel include *all* files including SQL databases as well? just curious

Yes, it moves everything.

A tip for when you decide to use the NON-root mover:

Make SURE that if a client asks you to move his account that there are no existing httpd.conf or zone files for the account being moved. (meaning on YOUR box not the remote box) If these are present, the local recreation of the account will fail.

You will also find at that point, that if you try to move the account again, it won't work on the other machine's end, leaving you to manually extract the files from the cpmove-tar.gz file for that username...

Man, I'm confusing myself typing this...hope it's clear...lol

Sorta make sense, im just curious is all but thanks for the tip!

one other question (random thought) when you move one account from one to another server, does it self delete the old account or change any of its settings incase the move you made didnt go well? I have two servers one is new id like to move a site over to it :)

No, it doesn't change anything. It just grabs everything, tars it and moves it over to the new server.

It can really drain resources on the machine you're moving from, so if the machine is overloaded or you've got lots of stuff going on, it's probably best to wait until a quiet time to do it. :)

yea its overloaded, *way* over loaded. hence the purchase of a second server, thanks for the heads up too!
