honors1000 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 i am presently unable to register .ng domains. I have done extensive reading on this forum so far about this and i am meant to believe that maybe the whois server of the registry was not currently on the whois.json file. I have gone ahead to add it using the format i saw on the file but the problem is yet to be sorted out as i am still unable to check for .ng domains. I have run out of ideas. help needed. thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gone ahead to add it using the format i saw on the file but the problem is yet to be sorted out as i am still unable to check for .ng domains. I have run out of ideas. help needed. perhaps the format of your file isn't correct. just to clarify from the Whois Servers documentation, there is the default file, dist.whois.json, that contains the whois servers list supplied by WHMCS - which should never be edited... if you want to add/change an entry, you use your own whois.json file in the same directory. now for .ng, if it's the only entry in your whois.json file, then the whois.json file should be... [ { "extensions": ".ng,.com.ng,.edu.ng,.gov.ng,.mil.ng,.mobi.ng,.name.ng,.net.ng,.org.ng,.sch.ng", "uri": "socket://whois.nic.net.ng", "available": "No Object Found" } ] if your file has additional entries, just remember that the final entry doesn't have a comma at the end after the last } 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honors1000 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 please I just noticed something. While I can now check for .ng domains, I am still unable to check for the second level domains under .ng such as .com.ng and .edu.ng. I copied the codes as presented. is there any other line of code that I need to add to my custom whois.json file? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 it should work as is... have you added .com.ng and the other 2nd level domains into domain pricing ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honors1000 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 thank you again. adding .com.ng and the other 2nd level domains into domain pricing has just solved it. am really grateful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauwiks Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Does this still the right way to add .ng to WHMCS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
