| + | The above-mentioned information has to be consistent with the data from your OVH panel. Now, complete this field as presented below. <br/> '''Important!''' Remember to make sure that the format of the provided data is compatible with the format supported by the module.

[edit] Installation and Configuration
| This tutorial will focus on how to successfully install and manage DirectAdmin Extended For WHMCS. We will guide you step by step through the whole installation process. |
[edit] Installation
| 1. Log in to our client area and download the module. |
|
| 2. In the downloaded file you might find one or two packages that support different PHP versions. In the most recent versions of the module, you will find only one package that supports PHP 7.2 and later. |
|
| Previous updates of the module may contain two packages dedicated to various PHP versions. The first one that supports PHP 5.6 up to PHP 7.1, and the second one addressed to PHP 7.2 up to PHP 7.4. |
|
| Note: You can check the current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so, proceed to 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'. |
| 3. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory. The content of the package to upload should look like this. |
|
| 4. When you install DirectAdmin Extended For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename the 'license_RENAME.php' file. The file is located in 'modules/servers/directadminExtended/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'. |
|
| 5. In order to configure your license key you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file. Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'. |
|
| 6. In the next step, set up the two 'storage' folders as recursively writable. Both folders are available at 'yourWHMCS/modules/addons/DirectAdminExtended/storage' and 'yourWHMCS/modules/servers/directadminExtended/storage' . |
|
[edit] Addon Activation
| 7. Now, you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system. Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Move to 'System Settings' then choose 'Addon Modules'. |
|
| 8. In the next step you need to permit access to this module. To do so, click on the 'Configure' button, select required administrator groups and press 'Save Changes'. |
|
| 9. Well done! You have just successfully installed DirectAdmin Extended For WHMCS! You may access your addon under 'Addons' → 'DirectAdmin Extended'. |
[edit] Server Configuration
| 10. Now, we will show you how to configure a new server. To do so, log into your WHMCS and go to 'System Settings' → 'Servers'. |
|
| 11. Next, enter your server name, IP address, username and password. Choose 'DirectadminExtended' from a dropdown menu and press 'Save Changes'. In this section, you can also provide other server details like nameservers or the maximum number of accounts. |
|
| 12. After you configure your server correctly, you will see the following screen. At this point, you need to create a new group for your server. For that purpose, press 'Create New Group'. |
|
| 13. Enter the name, click on your previously created server, press 'Add' and then 'Save Changes'. |
|
[edit] Product Configuration
| 14. In order to create and configure the product, click on 'System Settings' → 'Products/Services'. If you do not have a product group, click on 'Create a New Group'. If you do, simply move to the step 15. |
|
| 15. Enter the product group name and press 'Save Changes'. |
|
| 16. When you have a product group, you can create your product and assign it to DirectAdmin Extended. If you already have a product, jump to the step 17. To create a product, click on 'Create a New Product'. |
|
| 17. Afterwards, choose your product type and product group from dropdown menus, then enter your product name and select the used module: 'DirectAdmin Extended'. Press 'Continue'. |
|
18. Then, you need to move to the 'Module Settings' section and choose your previously created server group from dropdown menu.
You can also activate the feature to automatically suspend accounts when the bandwidth limit is reached. Simply tick 'Suspend at Limit'. |
|
| 19. If you would like to set up your own configuration, choose 'Custom' from the 'Package' dropdown. A list of customizable options will appear. Configure them at your own discretion or generate Configurable Options instead. |
|
[edit] Addon Configuration
| 20. Go to 'Addons' → 'DirectAdmin Extended'. The dashboard located there contains the precise data on available products and servers:
|
|
| 21. Proceed to the 'Features' section, find the product you are interested in and press the 'Configuration' button next to it. |
|
| 22. You should see boxes dedicated to 'Features', 'Applications' and 'Other' Begin by selecting the features you would like to activate for your customers. |
|
| 23. Choose whether to activate the 'Install Applications' option. In case you wish to enable this feature, you will have to select 'Auto Installer' from a dropdown menu. After, activate 'Install Button' and 'Backup Button'. |
|
| 24. Finally, select the 'Webmail' button redirection from the 'Other' and choose 'Show Server IP' address. Do not forget to 'Save' changes once the product configuration is ready! |
|
| If the 'Show Server IP' address option is on, it will be visible in the client area for customers. |
|
| If the 'Let's Encrypt' button is toggled on, your customers will see it under the 'SSL Certificates' menu. |
|
| 25. (Optional) Move to the 'Backups' tab where you can define the FTP backup path under 'FTP Backups Endpoints' and 'Backup Directory Path'. This will allow creating backups on external servers defined by their admin, which then will be available for the clients to choose. Find more about Backups here. |
|
| Define the FTP backup path under 'FTP Backups End Points'. Simply fill out the form with 'Backup Name', 'Host', 'Port', 'User', 'Password' and 'Path to Files'. |
|
| Under the Backup Directory Path, enter the backup path which can be found in your DirectAdmin server → 'Admin Backup/Transfer' → 'Local' textbox. |
|
| 26. If you already have another product configured, you may copy its configuration. Find the 'Copy Configuration' button on the list with products or select multiple items at once. Then choose the product configuration which settings you wish to copy into the selected products. |
|
| 27. That's all, you have just correctly created and customized a new product, now you can check the results. This is what your customers should see in your client area. |
|

|
[edit] Tips
| 1. Keep in mind that user packages and reseller packages are two different things. When you configure a typical product for your customers in the WHMCS, you would usually need to enter one of your user packages, not the reseller packages. |
| 2. To manage SSL certificates, your customers require the owned IP address. Otherwise, the module will return the following error: 'You can manage SSL certificates when you own the IP you are using. Info for admins: Assign an owned IP'. |
| To add the owned IP address, log in to your DirectAdmin admin area, go to the 'IP Management' section, add the IP and assign it to the admin. |
|
|
| Afterwards, manage the user for whom you want to add the IP address. Set IP to your previously created IP address, save changes and make sure that this IP will be the current IP address of your customer. |
|
| If you add more IP addresses with free status in your DirectAdmin, you can quickly assign those IP addresses to your customers in WHMCS. For this purpose, simply type the IP in the 'Dedicated IP' field, press 'Enter' on your keyboard and update the product package by clicking on the 'Change Package' button. |
|
| 3. As this module supports templates system, any changes made in the module's template files will be saved after the upgrade process. |
| 4. Backups management in DirectAdmin panel: Admin Backups:
|
| 5. Please remember that if you want to use Configurable Options then set ' -- Custom -- ' in the 'Package' field of the WHMCS product configuration. |
