I am working for a company that has 200+ websites on an old server. They are trying to move the all to a new server running Plesk 8 and Virtuozzo.

Does anyone know a good way to move them all? The have the passwords list to all the sites in Excel, so I was thinking to save the domain - user name - password columns as a CSV, read it into a main PHP file, and have that file run a full-site FTP download script.

Is there a better way to do this? or a premade program that does this?

I was planning on parsing the site data for the mysql_connect connect lines to get the user name and password, but a lot of the scripts use configuration files, so the mysql connect lines would just have variables in them. Could I replace mysql_connect with a call to a different script, and have that store the database info, then die?

Honestly there really is no easy way to do this until a custom script is made to do the work as you described above. There is many other ways as well but it just depends on the old environment and new environment. There isn't a general copying account function mainly due to that reason as well. With many variables to be taken into account makes it hard to do.

1) Does your old server have a control panel? If so, which control panel is it?

No, not really. The thing is ancient, it has some kind of proprietary domain lister thing setup.
