Needing Attention

Insecure Permissions Check

 

Your configuration file is writable. This can be a security risk. We recommend setting the permissions to read only.

You can learn more about this in our documentation.

Pop Cron Ticket Import

 

We notice you have POP3 account connection details configured for at least one support department, but the ticket import cron task does not appear to have completed successfully within the past hour. Please ensure the cron is configured correctly. You can learn more about pop email importing in our documentation.

Warnings

Automatic Update Requirements

 

Automatic Updates require a writeable directory for staging files during an update. You must provide a directory via the Updater Configuration before you can update.

 

Website SSL

A Certificate Authority verified SSL certificate was not detected on https://kdtechnology.tech/billing/. This will prevent some features, such as OpenID Connect, from functioning. This may also affect your ability to receive PCI or other accreditation.

PHP Version

 

Your PHP version 5.6.29 is supported by WHMCS.

 

The PHP 5.6 branch no longer receives regular bug fixes and will only receive critical security updates until it reaches its end of life. We recommend updating to a supported PHP version. Please see http://php.net/supported-versions.php for more information.

Using Default Templates

 

We have detected that your WHMCS installation is currently using the default template names for one or more of the active templates. If you have made any customisations, we strongly recommend creating a custom template directory to avoid losing your customisations the next time you upgrade.

 

You are currently using a default template in the following locations:

 

Cart

Client Area

 

Please review our documentation on making a custom theme for help doing this.

 

Can someone please help me with this? If not I will go back to 7.0

HI Don,

 

Your configuration file is writable. This can be a security risk. We recommend setting the permissions to read only.

 

Please update your configuration.php permissions to 400 however please note: Some systems may require you to set the permission to 440 or 444 depending on how the server is configured. For most, 400 should suffice, but if you encounter an error loading the application after setting the permission to 400, try 440 and then 444.

Pop Cron Ticket Import

 

Please check you have a cron job setup for the POP Importing you'll find more about this at http://docs.whmcs.com/Crons#POP_Email_Import_Cron and the cron looks like

 

*/5 * * * * php -q /home/username/crons/pop.php

 

Automatic Update Requirements

 

The automatic updater needs a writable folder with permissions set to at least 755. Head into Utilities -> Update WHMCS -> Configure Updater Settings to check your current temporary directory and update the permissions on that folder. If one doesn't exist login to your control panel, create one in your /home/ directory and set the permissions to 755. Once done return to the updater and pop the path to your new folder in.

 

Website SSL

 

Your SSL certificate looks fine, check with your host to ensure that your intermediate certificates are installed correctly but this should clear out shortly, I've checked your SSL Certificate and its perfectly fine to ignore that message.

 

Your PHP version 5.6.29 is supported by WHMCS.

 

This message is shown as the 5.6 branch of PHP went End Of Active Support 13 days ago as per http://php.net/supported-versions.php it will still get Security Fixes but you should consider moving to PHP 7 soon

 

Using Default Templates

Again, simply an informative message to let you know you are using an un-customised template, this means these files will be rewritten each time you upgrade, if you haven't customised its ok to ignore otherwise you'll find more on custom themes at https://developers.whmcs.com/themes/
