validation failed : Not a cPanel tar.gz file : Un-archive command failed

this error doesnt seem to correlate with what windows says about the cpanel backup...

the cpanel backup according to properties in windows is a .tar.gz. However, its actual extension ends with .tar (the .gz is shown in properties in windows)

any ideas on this error and why the migration from cpanel failed (i uploaded from file on my desktop pc

apache error log....

EDIT... I have had to change this post...on the cpanel forum it says to check the file using 7z. I downloaded the program and ran the test...according to 7z there are no errors and at the top title bar is says the file format is .tar.gz.

However, when i look at the extension in properties it says .tar (and not .tar.gz)

What now? Any ideas?

ok now im confused.

i have chosen the ftp migration option

added the follwing information into hostname

ftp.mydomain.com (pasted directly from cpanel as displayed in ftp accounts> manual settings)

and i get the following error...

Failed to migrate virtual server : FTP server hostname cannot be resolved

blast...got it sorted.

mistake was using ftp.cpaneldomain.com

hostname should have been just cpaneldomain.com.

file is now migrating to virtualmin

ok so now i have it on virtualmin...another question or three.

  1. I notice that in virtualmin, i now have the following

virtual server = migrateddomain.com automatic alias of migrateddomain.com = migrateddomain.com.server3.myhostingdomain.com

is the automatic alias there so website can be accessed whilst organising zone file records change at registar? (note that i am not hosting any dns...so the client will change an A Record at their registrar to point straight at this hosting server)

None of my other virtual servers have aliases...do i need it? If not when and how do i remove it without stuffing the migrated website?

  1. The cpanel server was running litespeed and i am running apache. are there any considerations i need to be ware of when migrating a php driven website like wordpress from litespeed to apache?

  2. I am getting an error 500 when trying to preview migrated wordpress website?
