Abstract:
Safely migrating Plesk, in the event of an ISP change, hardware or OS upgrade involves the use of multiple systems. This procedure applies to you if:
You are running an End of Lifed (EOL) unsupported operating system like RH9, FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4 or FC5
You need to upgrade hardware
You are moving to a different hosting company
You have a badly laid out file system
Prereqs:
1 Plesk Server
1 New Plesk Server
Step 1) Back up the system
Step X) restore config only
Step X) fix mailman
Step X) Plesk Restore
Task 1) Prep
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map backup -map map
Task 2) Restore
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore backup -level all -map map
Step X) Surpress email notifications from mailman
Mailman will send out notifications to everyone when you migrate, block this short term with firewall rules:
iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j DROP iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 465 -j DROP
Step X) Testing Checklists
mailing lists
webmail
Web
websites (test for php issues, register_globals)
DNS
