Hi there, I would like to see a command in the API to list all hosting accounts (or specify some sort of criteria to filter and return a subset) I know I can do this directly against the database, but accessing this data through an API would be preferrable so its one less thing to worry about during upgrades? What are my chances of getting this in?? (The reason I ask is I want to use cron to perform some tasks on specfic hosting accounts that have custom fields set to a certain value) Cheers, Dan

Hey, I have WHMCS installed on one server, and I am trying to control another server (create accounts etc). I have checked the firewall rules are in place on TCP 2087. When I try to create a hosting account in WHMCS it times out and gives "Curl Error - couldn't connect to host (7)". I wrote (well, borrowed and modified ) this PHP script to see if the WHMCS box can connect to port 2087 of the remote server... <?php $fp = fsockopen("75.126.xx.xx", 2087, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno) \n"; } else { echo "Port connected"; fclose($fp); } ?> ... and it can. So is 2087 the right SSL port for performing these functions? edit: Hid my IP

I have a customer that bought a domain off me a year ago which is in WHMCS. He has decided not to renew the registration. I have set the domain to Expired, as it is no longer valid. But what is best practice with regard to no longer used domains? Should I just delete the domain from the client area? or just leave it as expired. If I delete it, will it have any effect on past invoices, internal calculations or reporting? Cheers.

I thought that might have been the case. Thanks for the quick response!

Hi, I am currently running version 3.1.2 of WHMCS. I want to upgrade to the latest version. However I can only see the 3.3.0 and 3.2.3 in the client area. Does this mean I will need to do a fresh install? Do I download the "Full version".. will there be an option to use my existing database? Also I have made customizations to the client area.. can I keep the same client area? Cheers, dan

I downloaded V3 the day it was released and got myself setup with a demo license. I am approaching the end of my demo license and am going to purchase WHMCS. I have already entered most of my historical data into the system and got it working. I have seen throughout this forum that things have been 'fixed' in v3 since it was released, but the version number has remained the same. Should I reinstall to get these fixes applied? To do this can I just replace the entire file structure, and just leave the database the way it is? I dont want to be running an out of date v3, if the current one for download is of a newer version...?

Hi There, I have imported all my data manually from my excel spreadsheet. I have noticed some domains have changed the renewal date for an extra year than what they have paid for. I just want to know the order I should be doing it: 1 - Add the order to the system. 2 - Change the invoice for the price that the user paid) 3 - Set the invoice date, payment date and set the invoice to paid. 4 - accept the order.. and modify the start date and renewal date on hosting/domains. I thought I did this for all the records but some seem to have an extra year. The only thing I can think of is I set the hosting renewal date FIRST, then set the invoice to paid. Would this have added the 'extra year' that I mentioned, to occur? Some of my customers I register domains for prior to accepting payment. So the order needs to be accepted and active, before the invoice is paid. Can this be done? How? I need the renewal date to be the date the domain was originally entered into the system… Cheers dan.

I currently have an AU and US cpanel reseller account. At the moment I only host websites that I have designed (I am a web programmer by trade) so arent 'full on' into the hosting business I suppose. But with time that will change, I hope...

Hey everyone, I have the disk and bandwidth working for my AU reseller account, however it is not working for my US reseller. On my AU reseller: (WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-R118 CentOS 4.4 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0) * Suspend/create/etc all work fine. * Disk & Bandwidth stats work fine. On my US reseller: (WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-R34 CentOS 4.4 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0) * Suspend/create/etc all work fine. * Disk & Bandwidth usage DOES NOT work. The accounts in the /reports.php?report=disk_usage_summary&action=updatestats page are just blank for that particular server. Any idea how to fix? I have tried specifying the user account and password in the users account details, but this has made no difference... ? (the user & password are blank for the AU ones anyway, so I doubt that was the problem?) cheers guys

Champion, thanks !

I have a hosting product which can be paid for, for a 3, 6 or a 12 month duration. I have an addon (a "business pack") which i want to be an option ontop of any hosting account. However I can only specify a set 1 time duration for the addon (ie. monthly), when really i want it to be in synch with the hosting package that was specified (ie if they sign up for 3 months of hosting, get 3 months of business pack) etc. etc. Is there a way to do this? I can't seem to find it?

I also think category support for annoucements would be good, with the ability for users to subscribe to categories and be notified via email when new announcements are made.

Wow, this is great news! I have also been waiting for it

will do:)

Excellent, just what i'm after. Cheers
