also, I am not proficient in perl and have only skimmed the migration script, but would be there a way to preface all source directories with an ssh path via some perl scripting at the beginning of the script? for example: preface all source directory paths with ssh://username@host and just prompt for variables 'username' and 'host' at the beginning of the script? or does how the script is getting the source directories from ispcp/imscp variables make this not possible?
just brainstorming 
Okay - I DID IT....in only two days (and nights)
The most things are running fine, but there are some little, tricky bugs. So I want to find and smash them before I get to post the "HowTo".
I am very interested, if you would like to outline what you have done/what has happened so far. Perhaps we can help address the bugs

You can follow the instrucctions here:
http://wiki.i-mscp.net/doku.php?id=migration:ispcp
But please, do it with a copy, because it's work in progress (I'd recommend to test with current trunk).
And IMPORTANT: You have to cancel the setup before installing i-mscp to be able to run the "perl imscp-migrate-from-ispcp" command, otherwise you might break lots of things.
Other than that, the process i quite save and most of the standard things will work (plus the benefits of migrating)
UPDATE Migrating from ubuntu to debian and from ispcp to i-mscp can be difficult even though the two linux flavours are quite similar. If I were you, I'd made the two processes separately.
Yes, I've seen the migration wiki and read through the perl script a bit, but it is only for migrating from ispcp on the same machine. I am trying to migrate from a different machine over, so it fails, saying the directories don't exist, etc.
I was wondering if anyone has a workaround, or know how to modify in some variables or something into the script, so I can tell it to migrate from a remote machine, using a different IP and nsh or something. I can modify the rest to make it work coming from Ubuntu, and I will make that modified script available to everyone of course.
Hi All,
I like what you have made with this panel, and am switching from ispcp 1.0.7.
I would like to know if there's a way to migrate from a remote system (a different machine on the same internal network). As in, what could I change in the imscp-migrate-from-ispcp script?
I am trying to go from an Ubuntu 10.10 ispcp system to a fresh Debian Squeeze system.
Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated. If I have to do it manually, things could get ugly 
Thanks!
