I am having the same problem and to answer John's questions. Yes the account is created on the server. Yes I have selected the Hosting Account Welcome Email in Setup > Product/Services > Edit. Any help is great.

 

Regards,

 

Michael also lol

The main cause of problems with the welcome email not sending is the auto account creation fails due to a server issue. Otherwise could be invalid code somewhere in the email template as a result of customisation. If you revert back to the default template (copy and paste from the demo if necessary) the problem will usually be resolved.

John,

 

I can send the welcome email or any email manually. If it's a problem with the template somewhere, and I can't recall modifying any, would I still be able to send them manually? Every other single automated email is working except this. I'm at a loss.

Whenever a new user signs up in the error log it says the following:

 

Module Create Failed - Service ID: *** - Error: Sorry, a group for that username already exists.

 

However, I am able to manually create the account so obviously the error is wrong.

 

Since multiple people are having this issue I think it's an error in WHMCS. Has anyone gotten a useful response about how to fix this problem. I am also not receiving any emails saying when a new account has been automatically setup...

hi, since i have upgraded no emails are being sent what so ever.

im not even getting emails when members update there accounts,

no email after a ticket is created either.

im at a stand still i need this fixed asap please? :(

 

I would check your e-mail server settings under "General Settings" and the "Email" tab.

 

Also, when you log in to the Admin area, go to the bottom of the page and look under the "Recent Activity" header. There are probably some entries there pertaining to e-mails (either a notice to a client, a ticket notice, etc.). If there's a problem, it will likely be described there.

It means that a "Mail Type" has not been selected from the dropdown list in on the "Mail" tab on the "General Settings" page (linked in the "Setup" menu").

 

For the type, set "PHP mail()" and save. See if that works.

Here is what WHMCS Staff (Matt) said:

 

This error response is coming from the WHM API so it's possible there's a bug in cpanel but unlikely. Remember if you're just a reseller you can't see the usernames the other reseller is using on the server and so it's more likely that the usernames do exist in WHM already as WHM is returning to WHMCS, and WHMCS is displaying to you. This is no bug.

 

Here is my response:

 

I understand that since I am just a reseller that I cannot see the other usernames on the server. But, please answer me this questions: How come when WHMCS tries to automatically setup an account it says that a group for that username already exists, but when I do it manually through WHMCS it works perfectly with that same username?

 

It seems like if there was actually already a group with that username on the server then it would not matter if WHMCS was having the account created automatically or manually - it doesn't make since that the automatic creation doesn't work but the manual creation does...

Hey guys I am having the same problem with the: Hosting Account Welcome Email ,but I noticed that it usually happens with existing users and not so much when you sign up a new user.

 

I also checked all the recommended steps and everything is correct, I also get the server e-mail of the account creation but just don't get the WHMCS welcome e-mail.

 

:S
