We have faced the same issue with the perms as described by another user above. Tried on multiple phones ...the version 1.0 sticks and is having problems updating to 1.0.1. If we remove it entirely and reinstall, the version is still 1.0. Is the repository up to date?

anyone know if there are plans to support AFIS?

I completely agree with the way Matt is doing this. Nothing wrong with it at all. I don't quite get all the channel marketing and sales arguments or how opening it up to virtually anyone will help further development and testing. .. let alone have self admitted "hobbyist webhosts" give feedback (no offense Dan). Hey, for all I know, Dan is a guy that knows everything about the hosting business, but he still remains a hobbyist. Oh and that Sunbeam Toaster, they send it first to Underwriters Laboratory, not some housewife with 4 kids that use it to toast a whole loaf every day. Don't expect Ford Motor Company to ask you to test their prototypes either. Maybe all these companies do product test marketing and focus groups, but those are all carefully selected. Get my drift? Furthermore, product warranties, servability, fitness and quality just don't apply to products in development. Hence the terms prototypes or alpha, and beta, etc.

It's quite nice, and overall excellent job as far as integration. But for my tastes I think that one can get quite lost thinking it's just another blog and not a web hosting / developer's site. Then again, I don't know if that's the look and feel you are after.

Diane, While you can have different registrars in use, their tlds should be distinct. (I think you were getting at having the same tld active with both enom and directi which may not work properly). For the remote site, you could accomplish some functionalitys using the API. The WHMCS license is tied to 1 domain only, so you can only run the end-user interface and admin on one domain.

DO NOT PAY could be confusing to some. I'd try some other wording before that. Ethical's idea of separating invoices is probably the best approach and would make PayPal Subscriptions and payments discernible from each other.

it depends. is your header and footer the same width as the content block? a link to your customization would be useful. typically you just need to specify a style or class for the div or table that is surrounding your content. i.e.: border: 1px #000000 solid;

Handson ... how true! We offer an in-house developed backup solution. Out of all our small businesses, ded or hosted and colo clients, nearly none of them use it. They often cancel a month or two into it, because they feel it's not needed or too expensive...and then disaster strikes. Some just never learn. The only ones really using our solution are larger enterprise customers, which make it worth our while. I suppose this has to do with the fact that they tend to be more tech savvy and usually have audits or require compliancy.

hey, you could try using this: http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?t=12169&highlight=order

All you need to do is grab the URL of the pdf download and paste the link in the email. This works just like any link

decide where you want to show it. Usually, you'll want it in the header or footer, so it'll show on each page. open the template file for the header for instance ... templates/default/header.tpl paste a chat button HTML script into your web page source code. Upload the updated page to the same location, overwriting the original. done

Sorry (and no offense) Chris, but I can't understand why you say "Yes you can do that". @Dan ... It's just safer not to do this on behalf of your clients... If they want to do it themselves, that's another thing. However, if someone does this as a service, knowingly to hide the identity or contact info of the registrant, you would be violating the terms of registration of most tlds where it is not allowed. As Chris pointed out, "a minefield for interpretation" or a grey area. Should something go wrong, a client could loose his/her domain, and you could also be held accountable or suffer consequence.

It would be nice to have the total due/outstanding balance shown to the customer. We've done this manually up to now.

It sounds like he's is talking about software that can selectively backup your drives.

Not sure if I understand correctly, but if you are saying that you will modify contact details on a domain that does not support privacy protection to something other than what the registry requires, hiding the registrant details could violate the terms. If you are trying to modify the privacy protection on a domain that supports it, and the customer is aware and willing to do so, then, yes you could do so.

no need to cross post for the same issues. see http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?t=13510

1. you first need to sign up with a domain registrar. the choices are broad, but here are a few suggestions which seem to pop up on the forums frequently (see other threads about them): A. Registrars: Enom -- http://enom.com/ ResellerClub -- http://resellerclub.com NetEarthOne -- http://www.netearthone.com/ B. Directi/Resellerclub Resellers: WHMCS -- http://domains.whmcs.com/ RoverNIC -- http://resellers.rovernic.com/ Terms are slightly different from each, however, each of the above do require you to add funds to your reseller account. You can start "paying as you go" with most of these, except enom, which requires at least 195 or something for a standard account setup. (don't remember off-hand exactly how much). All others, you can signup, and can fund whenever or as necessary. As long as your credit balance is sufficient with the reseller, your WHMCS will be able to automatically register the domain(s) for your client. 2. Once you have created a reseller account with one of the above, you will then need to configure your WHMCS installation. You should follow the documentation at http://wiki.whmcs.com/Domains_Management . There is additional info in the forums or post back here. 3. When your clients purchase domain names from you using your WHMCS installation, it will automatically connect to your reseller account you have set up. As mentioned above, as long as you have sufficient funds it will register the domain. It will not "automatically use the clients money to pay for the domains". The clients payments are collected by you, at a markup you determine. Good Luck

Would email forwarders work for you? The only thing is WHMCS will not reply with the email it was originally sent to, only the one setup in the department.

not any more. the advantages should be pretty clear. it checks the local portion of an email, trying to assert the existence of a user @ a domain. but it can be largely unreliable and causes deferrals and can cause excessive backscatter (misdirected bounces). there are many excellent articles on this. just search.

I don't know what you mean by not getting "one side to calculate out", but for the number formatting you can use the number.toFixed(x) javascript function (it will round naturally). replace: document.autoForm.b_total_income.value = (v1 * 1) + (v2 * 1); with: var total; total = v1+ v2; document.autoForm.b_total_income.value = total.toFixed(2); edit... If you have losts of visitors with older browsers or js, you should first test if the function exists with "if (total.toFixed)"

Chris is absolutely correct. You may also want to note, that unless they have special terms with Resellerclub/Directi, their pricing model is money-loosing for the most part, so buyer beware. Are charging a large funding fee or something?

Hardware: Also compatible: Socket AM2/AMD-V support should also work very nicely. Heads up for: Certain Intel Core 2 Quads that do not support VT as well as Core 2 Duo 8190(?). See also compatibility guides/charts at xen.org and an extensive one at citrix. Anyway.. you're correct, same kernel, but I didn't necessarily mean faster. The commercial xenserver (ie enterprise) has the ability to tweak resource allocation and create resource pools along with other tools...making larger installs definitely more performant/efficient/easier to manage etc. On an interesting side note it did appear to us that overall latency seemed lower with xenserver (DomU > Dom0, and back), and similarly with disk I/O. But that may purely be a quirk.

Performance-wise you will get a bit more out of a commercial XenServer, but if you are looking to host a small number of vpses or just getting your feet wet, there is nothing wrong with the free version. Performance of the latter has improved over the last several releases. (I would still join in recommending the commercial XenServer version for 'serious' hosting. Support is very good, plus I personally like the dashboard management utils). That said, depending on what you want to host may lead you to choose one virtualization software over another. Xen, for instance has better internal timing of vpses over others which can be important for live telephony or video applications. Xen, however, is not yet supported by WHMCS and it's API (for the open-source distro) is not final, so it could be a long wait. VMWare server in our test proved to be relatively more resource hungry, but it does perform nicely with many picky applications, like a full blown asterisk with conferencing. Add to that, we had none of the typical kernel issues that arise from time to time with other virtualized environments. For me, the question of going "bare metal" or "hypervisor" depends on your management and hosting needs, system spec and the virtualization server you will be employing. With XenServer, the bare metal/embedded hypervisor actually supports "embedded" hardware. This can be quite a boon. You will also note that the Linux VMware server is also by default bare metal and ESXi is now free. Their other versions suggest a Windows OS host, although it should be possible to run with the ESXi. Another note with VMWare, ESXi will not let you manage many boxes easily (at least at the time we tried). It seems each VMWare box would need a host OS/ hypervisor, in addition to extra commercial management software (not sure how much). The main thing for us, is making sure that the hardware required by the virtualized OS installations are properly supported. Cost is also a factor, and should be looked at closely. Don't expect to be able to sell $5 or $10 VPS with any commercial distro. It's just not feasible, that is if you won't be overselling. You can easily use HyperVM to manage your Xen boxes. HyperVM is quite robust with powerful features and has a low cost of entry. WHMCS sets up the account, then your HyperVM will send out a welcome email which you can customize, WITH the vps IP.

Sounds like a pretty straight forward time out issue, which you hit on yourself. If there are firewalls that you don't control, it could also be some sort of temporary ban or prolonged ban too...causing it to time out. Anything in your server logs to this effect? If you are root, you could also try doing a tcpdump and seeing if the server is sending proper SYN/ACK responses. From there you can start diagnosing any network issues.
