1. Login to your server and su – to root (do not forget the – after su).

2. Change to the /home directory:

# cd /home

3. Run the following command: (this may take a while depending on the size of your site)

# /scripts/pkgacct USERNAME

(NOTE: USERNAME is the name of the user account not domain in cPanel).

4. Move the resulting file to the home directory of your primary user:

# mv /home/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz /home/primaryuser/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz

5. Change permissions of the file:

# chmod 755 /home/primaryuser/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz

6. Login to the destination server and su – to root (do not forget the – after su).

7. Change to the /home directory (see step #2).

8. Run the following command:

# /scripts/restorepkg USERNAME

**You may want to delete the “cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz” from both servers as it may consume a lot of disk space.*
