Symptoms

Pre-migration check fails with error:

ppa-transfer check config.ini
Error message or request description : [ERROR]  | Error while checking target panel configuration and connections: 'File contains parsing errors: <???>
    [line 13]: u' enabled = on\n'
    [line 17]: u' filter.priority = 7\n'
    [line 21]: u' show.util_exec = on\n''.

Cause

ppa-transfer cannot parse the control charachters in CP configuration file /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini

Resolution

Re-save the configuration /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini file properly, so that there is no control characters.

NOTE: The ppa-transfer will not work with debug logging turned on. In order to proceed with migration it will be required to turn debug off.
