Yeah, this kind of migration isn't really supported currently. However, it should at least end up with a domain that has everything except Nginx enabled..Did you get any error messages during the migration process?

Using Virtualmin to transfer a site from an Apache2 based server to an Nginx based server leaves the target server in quite a mess. 

The transfer succeeds, but then Virtualmin fails to create the Virtualmin server entry. The MySQL database isn't created either. And then it leaves the newly created username/group in place. I would personally like to see it handle this somewhat better. I understand it cannot convert an Apache2 configuration to that of Nginx accurately, but perhaps just displaying a warning to the effect of: 

"The Apache2 configuration cannot be restored since the feature is disabled on the target system. A default configuration for Nginx has been configured. It probably needs to be edited manually." 

Now I have to transfer the stuff piece by piece after cleaning up the target. 

Just my two cents.
