Domain Sync not working (resolved for me)

[Ctek]

Today I have come across a lot of people having issues with the Domain Sync / domain expiry date syncing issue. So I'm putting this post up to hopefully help someone out there.

 

I'm using Version 6 of WHMCS

 

First of all go to:

SETUP > GENERAL SETTINGS > DOMAINS tab.

 

Make sure " Sync Next Due Date" is ENABLED

Make sure " Domain Sync Notify Only" is DISABLED.

 

- Edit your "domainsync.php.new" file (rename to domainsync.php) - This file is in your Crons folder

- If you moved your writable directory's (crons folder) to another directory than the WHMCS root folder you will need to update the "domainsync.php" file

 

Add or edit the WHMCS dir path "$whmcspath = '/home/YOUR DIRECTORY/';

 

Create Cron Job - php -q /home/YOUR DIRECTORY/crons/domainsync.php

 

Have your Crons Job going for each min to confirm this is working correctly then adjust to every 4 hours as recommended by WHMCS.

 

Hope this helps someone - Any dramas let me know

Nice guide, I don't think the domain sync cron has been well explained by WHMCS so this guide should help a lot of people.
