Hey everyone hehe. I just restored a DA backup on @MikePT shared plan but Im getting DB errors for WP and an app installed by Softaculous. Do I have to edit something? The account username from the previous host is different from the current one now. Thanks!
Pretty sure you've just answered your question. If you don't create the same username/passwords it is unlikely you have import permission to do so since you could easily nuke other users who use default settings.
Make sure your DB was created and edit your WP config to match. At the very least, unless your db host is 'localhost', it's probably not gonna work.

Thanks @wss ! I meant I originally had a cpanel account and along the way, i had the primary domain changed for example from domain1.com to domain2.com. So the login username to cpanel is different than what my current primary domain is now for example the username is still domain1. Then my former host switched to DA. But my sites were migrated without issue with db or whatever.
Now I bought a shared plan from @MikePT and used my "new' primary during signup so its domain2.com. So when my account was generated my username is domain2.
I then created a DA backup from my previous host and restored it to @MikePT myw
Afaik the only difference is my account username - domain1 vs domain2 . Let me compare the db name and db usernames. I dont think this affects my WP login username and pass?
If it's a subdomain/alias, there will likely be more things to rectify- I can't say I have tried to do a cpanel subdomain to directadmin primary at any time without doing so manually.
"It's a hard life- to be a stick insect." - Karl Pilkington
The primary is not a subdomain. It was a domain like domain.com and was changed to domain.net. I dont know how my previous host migrated from cpanel to DA but there was no db issue after. I only encountered this db issue after restoring a DA backup from another DA host to my new DA host.
If my db name and db username were indeed based off from my original username then that might be issue i guess? But how would that be an issue? If import was success, shouldnt what the db names and usernames on my previous host will also be recreated in the new one as is? And when the WP connects to the db, that db with exact name should exist and they should connect using the credentials as is. Since this is just a DA to DA import.

You are correct DA restored the DB with prefix of current account name! Like domain2_wp123 since my login name in myw is domain2
In my previous host, login name was domain1 which was my original domain before it was changed to domain2. So correct db name is domain1_wp123
But since this is a restore, shouldnt DA just restore with the original names? Or is this because theyre relative names?
How do I change the db names? Should I just wait for @MikePT to reply to my ticket?
@Francisco would it be possible to suggest to @DA_Mark to preserve and restore DB names during backup and restore? Since currently DB names are treated as relative names and uses account name as its prefix. Is there a way to rename DB names in DA?

I pointed him to these forums.
I think the main issue is that in the case of cPanel they have a map of username->database, that way you can have cases of someone having a completely different prefixed database to their actual username.
I think DirectAdmin likely splits things at the 1st underscore and makes sure it matches the username.
A map of databases would be useful but would likely require a fairly serious overhaul of DA.

It is not something I see from the admin side of backup/restore but when users have migrated to me their username prefixes differed and I've had a few support requests regarding syncing their database names. So +1 on the interest, but not a deal breaker.
EDIT: A rename database function might be useful in MYSQL Manager (and an out of the box auto-login for phpmyadmin too). Any automated manipulation of the usename portion is a bad idea, IMO, and likely to throw up more issues. I agree with WSS with regards to manually renaming databses/adjusting config files to match.
The standard import routine should allow database names to be restored unaltered, IMHO. If that means raising the default name length restriction, then so be it.

For occasions like that, there are also db migration plugins or even AIO Wp migration/updraft plus to avoid such issues Although editing the config is not much of a problem ofc.
@Mr_Tom said: True, but in the problem earlier the username was different IIRC?
If and only if, the automated restore is being done using a different username (is that possible?), then the prefix should be changed to match - assuming all control panels use the same convention (which they don't). If restricted to WHM/cPanel restores, then AFAIK, they all have a username prefix.
Of course, if you're restoring manually ie. no account auto-create, then really you should have the knowledge to make any required changes yourself. If not, get someone who knows what they are doing.

Probably stupid question: But when I change DNS servers for a domain (hosted at a DA server), from the DNS hosted/controlled by DA to some 3rd party nameservers.
Then delegation is setup at the registrar, and the world see my changes without issues.
But does DA itself also always check DNS properly (as in asking the root servers), or does it somehow assume that "all my domain belong to my own DNS"? (I assume it's using the OS resolver and ignoring it's own DNS as long as no NS delegation is done to it's own servers. So I'm just double checking.)

Now I added a new domain but it doesnt appear in the list of domains of DA but it shows under domains folder of File manager
The Lets encrypt renew still fails for 2 domains. Manually creating wildcard for these 2 domains also fail. DA is really buggy. I hope they focus on 'functionality' first before the 'eye candy'

The setup I have with cPanel, I am not sure if it is possible to replicate that with DA
I use separate domains for nameservers ( with cPanel DNSonly) & hostnames to where I login for managing my domains
ns1.nameserverdomain.com & ns2.nameserverserverdomain.com are hostnames for DNSonly setup on 2 vps from DO
And a separate subdamain.mydomain.com (this domain is different from what I am using for DNSonly) for hostname on the server where I actually host my websites which is with BuyVM
If it is possible to replicate such a setup on DA, I might switch
Already paying 4 times of what I was paying before the price hike of cPanel
Already have DA based hostings from a bunch of providers & I am happy with them but the above setup is for something more mission critical

So DirectAdmin isn't like cPanel where a user can have their DNS cluster attached and their zones sync there. I've got a few resellers that run their own dnsonly boxes that are linked to their reseller.
If you're in full root control of your DA boxes then yep, you can just install DA on a box and then setup Multi-Server mode and tell it to only validate/sync DNS zones.

Wildcard certificate needs DNS validation, meaning DNS must be controlled on the same DA server. Otherwise non-wildcard is the only option
I used many panels in the years.. cPanel,Plesk,ISP,centos Webpanel,webmin... Some time ago I switched to DA.
DA is so easy to use. I really like it and want to stay with it.
Comments
Not recommended to use with DA / "a panel" IIRC from JetBackups blog/forum/something ... Waiting for the DA version of JetBackup
Indeed...? ?
Never see DA has some less features as compare with cPanel for End user perspective, Only thing at the moment DA is need some solid backup system

You still need to change your wp_config.php to match, IF it's restored the DB correctly under your user, or rename the tables.
