We have created several scripts which will convert your cPanel server into CWP.
How does this work?
– First, we export from cPanel all user account details into temporary files so we can later import them into CWP.
– Second, we create backup of cPanel and uninstall it.
– Third, we install CWP, this is the regular CWP installation process.
– Fourth, we import data into CWP from the exported files of the first step.
How safe is this?
– On the first step after the script run, you get information about exported data from the cPanel.
– First script run doesn’t make any changes on the system so you can check and confirm that all is covered.
– User Accounts: All user files in /home/USERNAME are not touched so server accounts are safe.
– MySQL Database: We don’t make any MySQL changes on the databases so your databases are safe.
– MySQL version: currently installed from cPanel is left without any changes.
– User Home Files: nothing is touched except for migration of emails to /var/vmail folder.
– Cronjobs are kept the same.
** It’s always smart to have account backups before starting with the major changes.
Imported data
– User accounts, domains, subdomains, parked domains
– Email accounts-mailboxes, forwarders-aliases, autoresponders-autoreply
– Resellers
– Hosting packages
– FTP accounts
– SSL Certificates
– Hostname SSL Certificates for (cwp, mail, ftp, webservers)
– All PHP versions (5.3 – 7.3) and we have added handlers of cPanel
Not Imported
– Pipe to program (but we export it to backup file so this can be added later)
Required:
– /var/vmail will be the new location for your emails so make sure /var partition has the required size or you can symlink it to /home/vmail
FAQ
– How login this conversion takes: from 10min to 2h depends on the data and server performances
