doriejanni Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hi there, I am using WHMCS for 6 months now, but there's one bug I'm not able to fix. When I try to register a domain name at example.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=register&query=domain.nl I get the message Congratulations! domain.nl is available!, but in my spotlight TLD's it says that that domain is unavailable. Sometimes it's turned around, I get the message domain.nl is unavailable but then my spotlight TLD says I can add it to my cart. This only happens when I'm trying to register a domain name that is not registered yet. You can see it for yourself below: Does anyone experience the same issue or does anybody know how to fix this bug? Thank you in advance! Cheers, Dorus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomex Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hello Dorus, Which domain registrar and version of WHMCS are you running? It may be worth testing another WHMCS cart template to see if it resolves the issue. Jack 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hi Dorus, are you using Standard Whois for your lookups and does this only occur for .nl domains? i'm wondering if somewhere between WHMCS doing the initial .nl lookup, and doing the secondary .nl lookup for the spotlight box, whether it's hitting a whois lookup limit for .nl (which if memory serves is 15 per day)... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be worth testing another WHMCS cart template to see if it resolves the issue. I'm using WHMCS 7.1.2 and the standard cart.

It doesn't matter which Whois I use for looking up those domains. I have tested all of them already. Yes this only occurs for .nl domains, all of my other spotlight TLD's function like they should... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 It doesn't matter which Whois I use for looking up those domains. I have tested all of them already. you mean you tried different whois server entries or you've tried other Lookup Provider Options. http://docs.whmcs.com/Domain_Suggestions#Configuring_Lookup_Provider Yes this only occurs for .nl domains, all of my other spotlight TLD's function like they should... then if using standard WHOIS, i'd be tempted to change the sort order of the spotlight TLDs... move .nl to the far right and see if that makes a difference - it might delay that secondary lookup. also, take a look at the activity log and see if there are any whois errors in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much, that solution worked for me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
