Transferring web, dns & db to different user account.

Hello all,
Linux n00b here I recently switched from ZPanel (Windows) to VestaCP (Ubuntu). Loving it so far! Unfortunately though I made a mistake and put all 4 of web & dns domains + 2 dbs under 1 user account.
Is there anyway I can separate and transfer them into newly created user accounts? I saw in the roadmap there is scripts for doing the following:
Domain transfer to another user account
Database transfer to another user account
Now I saw the scripts \ CLI Commands... However I want advice or guidance before I move forward and break things...
Thanks!

Are you sure this code is still actual? I tried this, but I get:
Code: Select all
v-change-domain-owner: command not found

This worked like a charm and everything is working just fine after moving the usernames to a new account! Thanks!

Yes I can confirm this works, just fine as I have used it and moved over 4 different web domains to 4 different user accounts.
Make sure you are using the latest VestaCP perhaps?

I am. I am using the latest Ubuntu LTS and everything is updated. Those commands never worked for me I should say, none of them to be precise. Maybe it's an Ubuntu thing then?

Can you provide us with the exact command your typing in.

for this error
v-change-domain-owner: line 36: v-search-domain-owner: command not found
change line 36 to this
owner=$($BIN/v-search-domain-owner $domain)
just add BIN variable.

Also had to do a
Code: Select all
v-change-database-owner databasename targetuser
Then set a password in the Vesta interface
Then update the web config (eg wordpress) to use the new details.
