To perform the migration you must follow a few simple steps:

Source server (Old Server)

To create a connection to your remote/source CWP server first you must generate an API Key on your Source CWP server, To create an API key/token, use API Manager (CWP Settings >> API Manager). You can click on the CWP to CWP button and you will have the necessary options selected.

Log in to the CWP panel.

• First check your SSH port

  • Go to Services config > SSH Configuration
  • Or login to terminal and check

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

• • Port 2251
  • By default the port is 22, if you did not change it.
  • Then check and open TCP port. Note that you must have to add the port 2304 additionally for migration to done successfully.
• Go to Dashboard, then click on Firewall
  • You will find “Opened TCP \ UDP ports” on the right sidebar
  • If it is not listed to TCP IN and TCP OUT
  • Go to Firewall Configuration > Main Configuration on top menu of this page
  • This will open Contents of File: /etc/csf/csf.conf
  • Go to #Allow incoming TCP ports and add your port. In my case Port 2251 and extra port for migration 2304

# Allow incoming TCP ports
TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,2030,2031,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,2304,2251"

# Allow outgoing TCP ports
TCP_OUT = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,113,443,2030,2031,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,587,993,995,2080,2443,2304,2251"

• • Save Changes
  • Go back to dashboard and go to Firewall again to check the port in TCP IN and OUT.
  • If everything ok, restart Firewall from the top of the menu.

• Go back and add your Destination IP to whitelist.

  • Firewall Whitelist configuration > Add an entry add the Destination IP (New IP) and restart the firewall.
  • Note that if you whitelist IP you need not open port in all cases except Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or etc.

• Now lets setup API connection

  • Go to CWP settings and select the option API Manager.
  • On the right top, you will find the button ‘Allow new API access’.
  • Click on it and you will get a popup window with a bunch of options.
    • Short Name: API Name. bdhostit
    • Ip Origin: Destination server IP that you want to authorize this API.
    • Key code: Click on “Generate” and save it somewhere.
