Migrate cPanel accounts using command line



Here I am gonna shed some light on the cPanel account Migration. Its simple, issue some scripts and let the server do it.


Suppose we need to move the cPanel accounts between servers. All we need to list the account usernames in the file test.txt. It would be like


user1
user2
user3


Okay.

Add sshkey in the Destination server, so that it makes the secure copy and ssh easier. Run this in a screen
===================================================

 for i in `cat test.txt`; do /scripts/pkgacct $i; scp /home/cpmove-$i.tar.gz root@destinationIP:/home/; ssh root@destinationIP "/scripts/restorepkg /home/cpmove-$i.tar.gz"; done | tee transferresult.txt
===================================================

 tee command can show up the result in a file. You can also set cpuwatch if required. This will keep the CPU load on the server


===================================================for i in `cat test.txt`; do /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpuwatch N  /scripts/pkgacct $i; scp /home/cpmove-$i.tar.gz root@destinationIP:/home/; ssh root@destinationIP "/scripts/restorepkg /home/cpmove-$i.tar.gz"; done | tee transferresult.txt
===================================================

 Replace N with required value.

How to tweak linux server harddisk using hdparm

Apache tuning documentation

Apache bench marking ======================= Things or checklist to be considered before the test     CPU: avoid power-saving mode. cpufreq-set -g performance.     File descriptors: raise the limit to (at least) the number of concurrent connections you wish to handle, using ulimit -n in your shell, or setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) in your server. Beware, some systems forbid you to raise the limit, you might need to investigate a bit to find how to unlock it.     Disable the logs of your server (you do not want to lose time logging thousands of requests instead of answering them).     Raise /proc/sys/net/somaxconn to the number of concurrent connections you want to handle. To understand why this is necessary, read the technical report or the excellent paper Measuring the Capacity of a Web Server (Banga and Druschel, Usenix 97). More on the fascinating topic of the accept() queue can be found in accept()able Strategies for Im...
