cPanel->DirectAdmin converter?

[SlashChick]

Are the DA developers working on a cPanel->DirectAdmin converter?

If not, would they mind if I hired someone to write one and then sold it as a third-party addon? :D

This got asked awhile ago and nothing came of it, i think i was the first person to do a cPanel -> DA conversion. Its certainly not fun.

Can you make a dummy site with the following:
- A few files in the public_html dir
- Some email addresses
- A MySQL database or 2 and then install a script in it
- A FTP Account or three
- Cron Jobs (dont have to work)
- AutoResponders
- Sub Domains
- MIME Types / Apache Handlers

Then back it up and offer it to download.

This will at least give people something to work off (and not have any of your clients data revealed/large tarball). Someone may be able to work out where all that garbage goes.

I think it can be done writing a script for that...

I was going to write this script for Mark and John a few months ago, but I couldn't find the time for it. I plan on doing it soon...my Ensim -> DA converter is done, but there are so many modifcations I made to my own version, that the release I made on the forum should NOT be used. That'll probably need to be redone too.

Don't mind sending me your Ensim -> DA converter script? :)

loopforever - there are several of us, myself included, that would be VERY greatful for a working copy of this script... when you have time of course :)

Ok here it is, before you download or use this, just remember that he has said not to use it - if you use it im sure it will be entirely at your own risk.

A Cpanel --> DA transfer tool would be really nice, I am just planning to transfer 300 domains to a DA server ....
