cPanel, cPanel to directadmin, directadmin, tool to convert backupThe file structure and back-ups for both control panels are entirely different and its quite difficult to restore the files transfered from one to another control panel manually. There is a script available which can convert a cPanel back-up to the format that of a DirectAdmin. The convert process is quite simple.
Download the conversion script from here .
*You can download it using the terminal :
*Create two directories import and export :
mkdir import export
*untar the script
tar -xzf da.cpanel.import.9.4.tar.gz
You will get two files da.cpanel.import.pl and defaults.conf. da.cpanel.import.pl is conversion script and defaults.conf is the configuration file.
*Copy the cPanel back-up into the import directory.
*Edit defaults.conf to match the DA server IP and nameservers.
*Execute the script to get the back-up converted.
perl da.cpanel.import.pl
*Back-up could be found inside export directory and you may get it restored.

This script seems quite outdated, the newest version of DirectAdmin cannot import the converted tar balls as it looks for /backup/user.conf which does not exist in the converted tarball.

This really saved my life. Thanks a lot. I was thinking of cancelling my DirectAdmin and use Cpanel instead for my Cpanel backups, but not anymore
