First you will want to set up subscriptions for the domains in the plesk panel. Once they are created you can run the commands below:<\/p>\n
Here are a few commands that should help.<\/p>\n
1.) rsync example. This will move the data from one drive to the other.<\/p>\n
\n\nrsync -avz \/mnt\/slave\/var\/www\/vhosts\/"domain name"\/httpdocs \/var\/www\/vhosts\/"domain name"\/httpdocs\n\n<\/pre>\nYou will want to change the “domain name” to the one you are working on at the time.<\/p>\n
2.) Changing ownership:<\/p>\n
\n\nchown -R "ftpusername":psacln \/var\/www\/vhosts\/"domain name"\/httpdocs\/*\n\n<\/pre>\nYou will want to change the “ftpusername” to what you set up for each domain when creating the subscription.<\/p>\n
If the sites are simple, these are the only 3 steps you should need to take for each domain.<\/p>\n
Update:<\/p>\n
I would use the rsync command rather than cp. Rsync will keep permissions the same. The command would look something like:<\/p>\n
\n\nrsync -aPSv \/mnt\/olddrive\/var\/www\/vhosts\/domain.com\/httpdocs\/somedirectory\/ \/var\/www\/vhosts\/domain.com\/httpdocs\/restoredirectory\/\n\n<\/pre>\nYou can also preview what will be synced by adding –dry-run to the command. This doesn’t actually copy anything, just shows you what’s going to happen e.g.<\/p>\n
\n\nrsync -aPSv \/mnt\/olddrive\/var\/www\/vhosts\/domain.com\/httpdocs\/somedirectory\/ \/var\/www\/vhosts\/domain.com\/httpdocs\/restoredirectory\/ --dry-run\n\n<\/pre>\nThe databases are in \/mnt\/olddrive\/var\/lib\/mysql<\/p>\n
One thing you might try is to stop mysql, change datadir in \/etc\/my.cnf to \/mnt\/olddrive\/var\/lib\/mysql, then restart mysql and dump your databases. Then stop mysql, revert datadir back and restart mysql again.<\/p>\n
When MySQL is running using the slaved drive as the datadir, you can use this to log in to MySQL:<\/p>\n
\n\nmysql -uadmin -p`cat \/mnt\/olddrive\/etc\/psa\/.psa.shadow\n\n<\/pre>\nalternately you can set skip-grant-tables in the \/etc\/my.cnf file until you have things running again.<\/p>\n
You can either dump your databases as one file or as separate files for each DB – http:\/\/www.commandlinefu.com\/commands\/view\/2916\/backup-all-mysql-databases-to-individual-files<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
