Migrating from old PLESK server to new PLESK server and WHMCS

[tkalfaoglu]

I'm migrating from an old PLESK server to a new PLESK server, and at the same time, I thought I'd register everyone with WHMCS.. Here is the "algorithm" I wrote for this, could someone pinpoint any errors or problems, or shortcuts I could use?

 

1. Create a user on WHMCS
   
2. Use Plesk Migrate to move that user's domain(s) to new server
   
3. when done migrating, RENAME the domain, like: domain.com -> domain1.com (so that later whmcs can create the domain.com hosting)
   
4. login to WHMCS, add a new order for that user
   
5. ..specify hosting and domain name, click CREATE for hosting
   
6. fix the expiry dates of the hosting and domain name.
   
7. and choose OpenSRS for the domain name (this will give a login error due to user/pass discrepancy between whmcs and opensrs.. can anything be done here??)
   
8. logon to new PLESK, and:
   
9. delete domain.com
   
10. rename domain1.com to domain.com
    
11. change owner of domain.com to the client that just got created by whmcs
    
12. fix webmail, enable WWW from plesk setup,
    
13. logon to OpenSRS and change the DNS's for domain.com
    
14. wait a few days, delete domain from old PLESK.
    

 

Anything missing??

thanks, -t

PS: WHMCS seems to create a new PLESK CLIENT (for every domain) when I do the above.. shouldn't it group all hostings for a user under the same client?
