It must have had something to do with the fact that I was installing to a site that had WordPress. Fortunately, I had the *.net domain available and a clean install has no problems.

I was provided with a license by my hosting company. And for full disclosure, the site is WordPress and I used Softaculous to install WHMCS to the subfolder "Orders". I've tried every variation of PHP from 8.0 to 8.2 and the same with ionCube. Currently, I settled on PHP 8.1 and ionCube 12.0.5-2.2.37.cpanel The debug log shows: [23-Oct-2023 22:01:48 UTC] PHP Fatal error: The file /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/orders/index.php encoded as type [1/81] cannot be decoded by this version of the ionCube Loader. in Unknown on line 0 [23-Oct-2023 22:04:53 UTC] PHP Fatal error: The file /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/orders/index.php encoded as type [1/81] cannot be decoded by this version of the ionCube Loader. in Unknown on line 0 [23-Oct-2023 22:04:56 UTC] PHP Fatal error: The file /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/orders/index.php encoded as type [1/81] cannot be decoded by this version of the ionCube Loader. in Unknown on line 0 Web host has no clue and I've spent hours working in the dark. I'm prepared to delete the files/database and use the 'official' WHMCS download, but fear I'll have the same issues. Can anyone offer a solution?

Thanks @Josh for the detailed reply. Much appreciated. I think I will standby with this and include some verbage adving the client to have their ducks in aa row before ordering, Or not. - L.

I've clicked around and serached but couldn't find a sloution. For example. Say I'm offering a Product/Service (i.e. "Other") like website edits. But it will generally take the client a week or more to provide copy and images and I want the client to be able to order the Product/Service for a fixed amount but I don't want to require payment during the order process. I'd rather Invoice the client as soon as the copy/images are received. Possible? And if so, how? TIA - L.

PM'd you and also have a ticket in on your website. Waiting for a reply.

At present, I'm not offering hosting or domain registration, so I don't need any of that setup. What I'm needing from WHMCS is the following products/services, available for purchase. As an example: I will be offering three (3) WordPress services/products. As an example. Service A Service B Service C Each will need a detailed description. I will write this. Users will be able to purchase a single service or multiples of any one service, or single or multiples of any or all three or any combination. A user could purchase just one service for a website. A user could purchase multiples of one service for multiple different websites. A user could purchase just one service for multiple different websites. A user could purchase multiple services for multiple different websites. Each service will require the buyer to provide the following for EACH service they purchase: Website URL and IP Website Owners Name and Email Website Admin Login Credentials Website FTP Login Credentials

Thanks Bigol' Yes for reselling domain names. And one WordPress shared hosting setup on my VPS.

I'd rather not resell hosting and have to support users that require hours of help setting up email accounts. So I'm wondering if it's possible to to change the links in WHMCS > Products/Services > Links (or some other location) so that when the client lands on my WHMCS client portal the buy now bouton is an affiliate link to my hosting company.

Thanks #steven99 for checking on what might be happening. Nope, the emails aren't going to clients. I just failed to understand why it was listing the Admin dir.

Ah, yes. Having munged my initial install I feel like I'm herding cats trying to get things back in place. Thanks for pointing out what I should have noticed in the previous emails. - L.

After re-installing WHMCS is am receiving "WHMCS Domain Synchronisation Cron Report" email that shows "Active Domain Syncs" and lists (shows) my WHMCS installation path with my renamed admin dir. Like this: https://mydomainname.com/whmcs/renamed_admin_file. Doesn't seem right that to me. I haven't setup any domains yet but in the past I would receive that report showing mine and client domains. Not the complete path to my renamed admin file. Thinking I have something configured incorrectly but don't know where.

My web host provided WHMCS. I mangled the initial install and used Softaculous to uninstall. I re-installed and moved: attachments, downloads and templates_c above the web root. Did the same for the Crons directory and made the necessary edits to the respective config files. I just noticed a "WHMCSDATA" directory that also has a Crons directory below it. The files in this Crons directory are newer and seem to be the same date of my re-install. The Crons directory I moved above the web root are from my original install. I must have overlooked removing that Crons dir when I preformed the uninstall. Question is, What is the "WHMCSDATA" directory and should I delete the 'old' Crons dir and move that Crons dir above the web root?

Thanks for doing my thinking for me. Perhaps someday I'll describe what a female alien... ah, never mind

If you have a "hit by a bus" solution I'd be interested in learning more.

It could be a serious matter tho. And although my post is tongue-in-cheek, the question remains: What/how do clients recover management of their domains should the 'registrar' (re-seller) go belly up?
