Fails to rename files after Host move and change of home folder

  • I am finding that Phoenix Media Rename fails to rename files following a site migration between hosts. As part of the migration the full path to muy hosting account home folder has changed.

    From: /home/myname/public_html/wp-content/uploads/….

    To: /var/www/vhosts/myhost.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/…

    Everything resolves fine in Apache, so all files are still served up fine. But when I try to rename an image I get the error:

    “Can’t find original file in the folder. Tried to rename /home/myname/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/myimage.png”

    Do you have any suggestions? WIll this require a DB update to patch up the paths?

    Thanks,

    Arthur.

    Hi @arfa_,
    I never had similar problems (I often migrate sites from my development server to production ones), but I will try to replicate the issue and let you know if I can fix the issue.

    Thank you for reporting!

    Hi @arfa_,
    I’ve made a test migrating some site and renaming a few files: everything worked.

    Can you tell me which system do you use to migrate sites (manual file and database transfer, plugin, …)?

    My sites were originally on a Centos 7 WHM/CPanel setup.

    These were then migrated to a AlmaLinux 9 Plesk Obsidian setup, using the off the shelf Plesk Migrator plugin. This Plesk Migrator took care of migrating the old CPanel accounts without any manual steps on my part.

    Let me know if you need any further info. Thanks!
