Hi. What is the most easy way to move accounts from my old VPS to my new. Both has cPanel/WHM. Thanks.
Ok, I made it. The WHM transfer account did not work at first. I had to upgrade the cPanel at the old VPS first. Then the transfer worked. I am fine now.
The cPanel's backup and account transfer utility is not that easy to operate. Account transfer work best when both servers have same version of cPanel running.
WHM transfer worked perfect for me, and it is very easy to do, but it took a lot of research to find out that I had to upgrade the old VPS cPanel before it went ok.
I agree it's a little touchy we've had issues moving larger web sites. There are tools on the cPanel forums that do it a some what different way which provides much better results.
I had no problem moving a site that is 3.5 GB so I think it also depends of the facilities on the receiving server, specially a quick line.
100mbit between both machines both located in Texas. One a quad cpu the other dual cpu both very underloaded (load avg under 1 while running the transfer). The transfers would time out oh and I'm talking 10gb+ range not 3.5GB those weren't to troublesome. I think they may have fixed this problem recently though
Ok, that is bigger sites yes. Like on my 3.5 GB site, it was split up in 40 files so each file to send was not big at all.
The max. I tried was 4.3 GB which was transferred successfully. The larger the size, more chances it'll timeout.
The best way to solve that is, generate a full backup in your old server and download it using ssh in the new server, put it in /home and run this command to restore: /scripts/restorepkg username Code (markup): And login, nice work, expecting all of your things are working great
