In this article, you will learn more about Cpanel to cwp migration.
Cwp (centos web panel) is an open source control panel with a user friendly interface making website management simple and fast. It offers management of servers (both dedicated and VPS servers) without the need to access the server through SSH to any simple task you need done.
Cwp has the ability to perform cPanel backup restoration thus making it easier to migrate a website from cPanel to cwp.
The following is the procedure for migrating from cPanel to cwp
Backup cPanel
- Login to your cPanel account using username and password provided by your web hosting provider.
- Once logged in to cPanel, click the backup wizard icon > click the backup button > then click the full backup button.
- In the next page, make sure you choose home directory as backup destination. In case if your hosting account has many files consume large amount of disk space, provide also an email address to send notification when the backup process complete. Finally click generate backup button.
- Now go back to cPanel homepage and open up file manager, choose the home directory then click the go button.
- In the file manager page you will see the newly created backup file with .tar.gz ending. Right click on it and choose move. Now type public html as the destination.
- Then go to public html directory, find the backup file, right-click on it and change its permission to 644.
- It is time to transfer the full cPanel backup file to your VPS using simple wget command: Wget http: // domain.tld /cpmove.user.tar.gz.
- Replace the domain.tld and cpmove-user.tar.gz appropriately.
Restoring to cwp
- Now you have full control backup file in your VPS located in /home directory. Cwp need it to be placed in that location. Open your browser and login to cwp control panel as root.
- Once logged in, click the user accounts menu at the left then choose cPanel migrations sub menu.
- On the next page, type in the username part of the file name then hit the search button.
- You will see a tab appear, click the restore button.
