Import from Other Panels

enconf can automatically import server data from Plesk via SSH. cPanel/WHM and Enhance import are in development.

Overview

The import wizard migrates the following data:

Data Type	Description
Customers	Customer data and credentials
Resellers	Reseller accounts with customer assignments
Sites	Websites with files and configuration
Redirect domains	A Plesk "redirect" (hosting type) is imported as a redirect domain — without a webspace
Domain Aliases	Automatic detection via DocRoot matching
WordPress	Automatic detection + registration in WordPress Toolkit
Mailboxes	Email mailboxes incl. password hashes + Maildir via rsync
Forwarders	Email forwarders
Databases	MariaDB/MySQL databases via SSH pipe (no RAM limit)
DNS Zones	DNS records
FTP Accounts	FTP credentials
Cron Jobs	Scheduled tasks

Plesk Import (SSH)

The Plesk import connects directly to the source server via SSH and exports all data. No API key required — root access is sufficient.

Requirements

• SSH access to the Plesk server (root or sudo)
• Network connectivity between servers

Starting the Import

1. Navigate to Import
2. Click New Import
3. Select Plesk as the source type
4. Fill in the connection details:

Field	Required	Description
Host	Yes	IP address or hostname of the Plesk server
SSH Port	Yes	SSH port (default: 22)
SSH User	Yes	SSH username (e.g. root)
SSH Password	Yes	SSH password or key
Default Package	Yes	Hosting package for imported customers
Target Server	Yes	Server for the new accounts
Notifications	No	Notify customers about migration via email

1. Click Connect and Scan

Scan Results

After the scan, a summary is displayed:

• Number of found customers and resellers
• Number of sites, mailboxes, databases
• Detected WordPress installations
• Detected domain aliases
• List of all objects to migrate

Running the Migration

1. Review the found data
2. Optionally deselect individual customers or objects
3. Click Start Migration

What enconf Does Automatically

Feature	Description
SSH Migration	Direct connection via root — no API key or export needed
DB Dump via SSH Pipe	Databases are streamed directly over SSH — no RAM limit, even for large databases
WordPress Detection	WordPress installations are automatically detected and registered in the WordPress Toolkit
Domain Alias Detection	Aliases are automatically matched via DocRoot matching
Reseller Import	Reseller accounts are fully imported including customer assignments
Mailbox + Password Hash	Email passwords are transferred as hashes — customers don't need to change their password
Maildir rsync	Email messages are fully transferred via rsync
Email Forwarders	All forwarders are automatically imported
Rollback on Error	If an error occurs, the import is cleanly rolled back — no half-finished state

After Migration

• DNS must be pointed to the new server
• SSL certificates are automatically requested via Let's Encrypt on first access
• WordPress URLs are automatically updated via search-replace
• Customers can log in immediately with their existing credentials

No Password Reset Needed

Thanks to password hash transfer, customers do not need to change their password after migration.

Per-domain package and IP

Some customers have several domains on different packages or different IP addresses. enconf supports this directly during import:

• Each domain can be assigned its own package and its own IP in the import wizard (per-domain dropdown).
• Domains on different packages land in separate webspaces (one subscription per package) — each domain in the right one.
• Auto-detection: enconf reads each domain's service plan and IP from the Plesk database and pre-selects the matching panel package / IP. You can override the mapping before migrating.

Large accounts

Even customers with many domains (e.g. 50+) and mixed packages/IPs are split correctly — every domain lands in the right webspace with the right IP.

Redirect domains

A Plesk domain of hosting type redirect has no webspace — it only forwards to a target URL. enconf detects this from the Plesk hosting type and imports it as a redirect domain (status redirect, 301/302) with an Nginx redirect vhost — without a Linux user, PHP pool or files.

Re-syncing individual items

Already-migrated items can be re-synced individually (e.g. to pull files, mailboxes or databases again after a change on the source server):

• Website (with webspace) → files are pulled again via rsync
• Mailbox → the Maildir is transferred again
• Database → the database is re-imported

Redirects have nothing to sync

A redirect domain has no webspace. "Re-sync" therefore only shows a note that there are no files to transfer — this is not an error.

Re-migrate (re-analyzes first)

A re-sync only pulls files/mailboxes/databases again — the classification made at import time (website / alias / redirect) stays frozen. If a domain was imported with a stale classification (e.g. mistaken for an alias), use "Re-migrate" on that domain instead:

1. The source is re-analyzed (with the current classifier and path detection).
2. The stored plan is refreshed and the item plus its nested resources are reset.
3. The domain is re-created cleanly — domain, DNS, website, database and WordPress are all rebuilt correctly.

This fixes a single domain without deleting and recreating the whole import. It's idempotent (existing records are reused, no duplicates). Currently for Plesk SSH imports.

Import log

Every import session has an Import log (a button at the top of the session and in the progress bar). It records what the importer detected and did, and can be copied or downloaded as .txt:

• Analysis summary — how many customers and websites were detected (zero detected websites is flagged prominently)
• Per-domain classification — website / alias of … / redirect, with the resolved source path
• Per-run result — websites/databases/mailboxes created and any warnings (e.g. "target directory empty" or "WordPress detected")

So an import that appears to "do nothing" is diagnosable without server access — and you can send the log straight to support if you have a question.
