The Remote Server Didn’t Report a Correct MD5SUM of the Archive

December 22nd, 2011  in Server 2 Comments »

Some of us may have experience of using WHM to transfer account from one server to another via its account transfer feature. Both “Copy an account from another server” and “Copy an account from another server with account password” are helpful when we try to copy a single account from one cPanel server to another one. We can also use “Copy multiple accounts/packages from another server” feature to move multiple accounts on one server to another one. Usually, the server administrator really enjoys this.

However, sometimes we may encounter such error notice: The remote server didn’t report a correct md5sum of the archive. Now I’ll share with you the way to deal with such issue.

First, login to the source server that you want to copy account from using ssh tools such as putty. Then use “cd /home” changing the directory to /home and run the command “/scripts/pkgacct cpusername”.The cpusername means cPanel username of this account on the server. After it finished, you may see a compressed file named cpmove-username.tar.gz under /home directory.

Then, login to the destination server which you want to transfer the account to. Then run the command “rsync -avuz -e ssh root@source server’s IP:/home/cpmove-username.tar.gz /home”.

Finally, run the command “/scripts/restorepkg cpusername” to restore the new account on this server.

By the way, you’d better change the permission and ownership of the new account on this server. The default owner and group may be the cpusername and the default permission is 644 for files、755 for folders if you use suphp manner to handle php on the server.

    Want to know more about Scottrade? Read on to learn more.
    Customer Service: Local office customer service is always better than the telephone customer service. So if you ever need any type of assistance or help conducting a trade, your live customer service rep at your local office is your best bet.
    Ease of use: The only issue I have with the online trading system is reconciling between the detailed balance and the summary balance. When shorting stocks, it can be difficult to reconcile the balances because of the margin requirements. Also, when you have a margin account, the detailed balance screen does not clearly display how much you have on margin or whether you have used any margin credit. ***TIP*** I have noticed inputting my orders and reconciling on Google Finance allows me to precisely track how much cash I have available.
    Fee’s: I am always opposed to paying fee’s, but compared to E*Trade, TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity it’s the cheapest. If you open a brand new Scottrade account, you can use the Referral Code: HKLN9839 to get 3 free trades. When Asked “How did you hear about us?” you need to select “Referred by a friend / Received a promotion code (click to enter your code)” and enter the code: HKLN9839.
    Minimum Balance: Scottrade’s minimum balance is $500 and is not the lowest compared to TD Ameritrade which is $0. Seeing that most stocks trade anywhere from $1.00 to $100, you’ll need at least that much to buy 1 stock.
    Stock Research: I like the ease of Google Finance to do the research on stocks and options, but there are some advantages to Scottrade’s system, it does tell you the date when the stock was at it’s 52 week high and low. Google is easier to use but there is more up to date information on Scottrade, the only problem is that you have to keep refreshing.
    Here’s the SECRET for 3 free trades, use the code:
