Overview

This tutorial will help you to convert your WHMCS hosting accounts from cPanel to Webuzo once you’ve done with the cPanel server to Webuzo server after running the cPanel to Webuzo in – place converter.  

After conversion, the new UI will be displaced in WHMCS. Hence, this WHMCS converter works by converting one cPanel server’s hosting accounts at a time. Further, you’ll get a choice to select a new product / service plan in WHMCS or create new ones as Webuzo and convert.

Note: Take a backup of the WHMCS Database before converting and disallow the WHMCS to create a new hosting account on the server being converted.  

Download

Download the cPanel to Webuzo WHMCS Converter from here

Develop a directory cpanel_converter in your /path/to/whmcs/ Directory.


Next is to unzip the downloaded zip in the cpanel_converter directory that is created.


Take care of uploading and look after folder existence:
/path/to/whmcs/cpanel_converter

Run Converter

To access the converter, you need to access http(s)://ip-or-hostname/cpanel_converter

Note: At this moment, you should stop entertaining new orders and creating a backup of the WHMCS database.  


You can allow a converter to create the product. When this utility creates the Webuzo Product it will copy the cPanel product data along with its pricing. Similar cPanel configurable options will be used so that users can manage the same.

Whenever you run the converter, you’ll get the list of cPanel WHMCS servers. You need to select the server to which you wish to convert the hosting account.  

The converter can’t modify the cPanel products or server instead of it will modify the web hosting accounts of the cPanel server. Let’s start, you will see the cPanel servers listed.  After selecting the cPanel server to convert, click on load data. Now, you will be showcasing the list of cPanel servers. You only need to select cPanel server to convert

You will get three options to convert:

  • Do nothing i.e. the hosting accounts of that specific product will not be updated.
  • Select the existing Webuzo product that was created before
  • Allow this converter to create the Webuzo product for the cPanel product you’re importing.

You can select any option and start with the conversion.

Once the conversion of the account is done then those accounts will be displayed.

Intro:

This guide will help you to Migrate from another Webuzo instance.

Requirement:

  1. It is compulsory to install on the new server.
  2. Keep the same username of the account as the one you’re migrating from the other Panel. For example; If the username is Jenny on the other panel, it must be Jenny on Webuzo also.

Build Domain Structure

Insert domains to the new server from the Webuzo Enduser Panel with the same details that you’ve used on the old server so as to speed up the migration process.   

Procedure

Move to Webuzo Enduser Panel > Server Utilities > Import from Webuzo

Find below the screenshot of the Import from Webuzo

Steps

  • Mentioned correct details in the form
  • Click on Submit to Import Webuzo details.
  • After submitting, you’ll get a message “Migration process is started. Check the logs for more info”

CLI

You can manually execute the commands below to import data from another Webuzo instance.

Migration from one Webuzo instance to another can be straightforward with these steps:

Backup Your Data:

It’s strictly suggested to take back up of all data on the old Webuzo instance. This backup includes website files, databases, email accounts, and other migration data. You can take the help of built–in backup and restore functionality to develop backups of the websites and databases.

Set Up the New Webuzo Instance:

Install a fresh Webuzo instance on your new server or hosting environment. Just copy the website file.  

Copy website files:

Transfer your website files from the old server to the new one.  To do this you can use FTP details or SCP. Ensure that file permissions and ownership are mentioned properly on the new server to match the old server.

Export and Import Databases:

Export databases from the old Webuzo instance using tools like phpMyAdmin or the command–-line. Import the database dumps into the new Webuzo instance, making sure to update your website’s configuration files to use the new database connection details.  

Update DNS Records:

If your domain is hosted on a different DNS provider then update your DNS records to point to the IP address of your new server. If your domain’s DNS is managed within Webuzo then update the DNS records in Webuzo accordingly.

Test your website:

Once data migration and DNS records are migrated, it’s time to test your website on the new Webuzo instance to ensure that all is well. Monitor broken links, missing files, and database connectivity issues.          

Email Configuration:

If your email accounts are linked with the domain, configure email settings on the new Webuzo instance to match the old setup. Also, make a copy of the email account data and settings.  

SSL Certificates:

If your website consists of an SSL Certificate on your websites, install and configure an SSL Certificate on the new server. You can use Let’s Encrypt or commercial SSL Certificate providers to avail of this.  

Monitor:

After completion of all steps keep a close eye on the new Webuzo instance for the next few days to make sure that everything is fine. The next step is to check the logs and error messages for any issues that have arisen. Keep in mind that the steps and tools you use may vary based on setup and requirements. It is important to plan and test thoroughly to minimize downtime and potential issues during the migration process.
