They will be able to manage their FTP accounts, backups, databases, mailboxes, spam filters, DNS settings and other key aspects in a fully remote manner.
The module also offers the choice of three Auto Installers - Softaculous, Installatron and Plesk Application to allow clients add their favorite applications in just a few clicks.

We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process.

In the most recent versions of the module, you will find only one package that supports PHP 7.4 and later.

The content of the package to upload should look like this.

The file is located in 'modules/servers/pleskExtended/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

Enter your license key between the quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'.

This folder is available at two locations:

1. your_whmcs/modules/addons/PleskExtended/
2. your_whmcs/modules/servers/PleskExtended/

Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Move to 'System Settings' and then choose 'Addon Modules'.
Afterward, find 'Plesk Extended' and press the 'Activate' button.

To do so, press 'Configure'. Next, select the required administrator roles and press 'Save Changes' .

To do so, log in to your WHMCS. Go to 'System Settings' → 'Servers'. Afterward, press 'Add New Server'.

Here you can also provide other server details like nameservers or maximum number of accounts. Finally, click 'Test Connection' to check if the provided credentials are valid.

Note: According to the Plesk documentation, you cannot use the same account and password that you use to log in to the ka.plesk.com panel. Please use your special account with Partner API access.

Important: Due to changes in the original WHMCS Plesk module, it may be required to additionally enter the IP address into the Hostname field even if you have already provided it in the IP Address field below.
Otherwise, the "Could not resolve host" error may occur.

Now, you need to create a new group for your server. For that purpose, press 'Create New Group'.

If you do not have a product group, choose 'Create a New Group'.

To create a product, press 'Create a New Product'.

Please note that you may choose only between 'Shared Hosting' and 'Reseller Account' as the product type since only those are supported by the Plesk module.

Remember to add your 'Client Template Name' or 'Service Plan Name'. Plesk Extended will not work properly without a specified plan name.
Decide in what way Plesk will assign IP addresses during the accounts creation process, by choosing the appropriate method from the 'Which IP address to use?' dropdown list.
Here you may also enable the 'Power User' view. Do not forget to press 'Save Changes'.

Use Plesk Extended For WHMCS to:

• Install applications
• Delete applications
• Create and restore backups
  

To start, simply proceed to 'Applications' , and then find the 'Install New' section.

Here you will find the name of the application, its path, size and available actions (available only for Softaculous & Installatron):

• Create backup
• Delete application

Once you have created a backup of your application, proceed to the 'Backups' tab.
There you will find a list of created application backups along with the date when they were created.
Use action buttons marked on the screen to restore and delete a chosen backup.

To do this, go to 'Addons' → 'Plesk Extended' → 'Features' → 'Configuration' and enable Auto Update Backups.

Important: Backups option is available only for users of Plesk up to version 17.5. If you are using a newer version of Plesk, this option will not work correctly.

Important: For large backup files we strongly recommend to increase the 'max_execution_time' setting in your server's 'php.ini' configuration.

Note: Only 'MySQL' and 'PostgreSQL' databases are currently supported and must be enabled in your Plesk panel first.

This allows you to read content of one domain from another domain name.
To create a new redirection, press 'Create Domain Alias' .
Note: Domains should be registered with a valid registrar and point to your DNS server.

FTP access management is dependent on the system your Plesk panel is set up on.

Note: If you have some other addon domains, creating an FTP account on the main domain will also add it to these domains.

Note: Curently, adding only local repositories is supported. Remote Git Repositories like GitHub or BitBucket are not supported yet.

Start by pressing the 'Create Repository' button.

Optionally, specify a list of additional actions which can be carried out each time the files are deployed to the website - use shell commands delimited by “;” symbol that should be applied with an escape character: “>”.

Note: Please keep in mind that custom logs cannot be rotated.

Enable log rotaion and define its conditions.

Please, log in to you Plesk administrator panel and go to the 'Extensions' section.
Next, find 'Node.js' from the search bar and press the 'Get It Free' button. Now, wait a few minutes until the installation is ready.

{yourWHMCS}/modules/servers/pleskExtended/lang/english.php 

Add records into the file according to the system names of PHP versions that you want to change, e.g.:

$_LANG['addonCA']['phpSettings'][PHP]['PHP 7.2.34 (CGI application)'] = 'PHP 7.2';
$_LANG['addonCA']['phpSettings'][PHP]['PHP 7.1.33 (CGI application)'] = 'PHP 7.1';
$_LANG['addonCA']['phpSettings'][PHP]['PHP 7.4.15 (FastCGI application)'] = 'PHP 7.4';
$_LANG['addonCA']['phpSettings'][PHP]['PHP 7.2.34 (CGI application)'] = 'Some Custom Name';

Important: Spam Filter option is available only for users of Plesk up to version 17.5. If you are using a newer version of Plesk, this option will not work correctly.

You can also adjust sensitivity - by default it might be set to 7 so that all messages with that score or more points will be classified as spam.
If mailboxes receive lots of spam messages with the current setting, to make the filter more sensitive, try setting a lower value, for example, 6.
If any emails are missing because spam filter considers them as spam, try reducing the filter's sensitivity by setting a higher value, for example, 8.

You can also add email messages to a white list that will not be checked by the spam filter, and black list that will block all emails coming from a particular sender.
Simply type domain names in appropriate fields (one domain name per line). Addresses can also contain "*" and "?" wildcard characters, for example, *@domain.com, user?@*.com.

Note: Current Plesk API does not give the possibility to preview the automatically generated private key. To do this, you need to log directly into the Plesk panel.

Important: Web Users option is available only for users of Plesk up to version 17.5. If you are using a newer version of Plesk, this option will not work correctly.

Precise instructions of the 'WordPress Manager' itself is located here.

Important: Kindly note that the option to delete instances is currently exclusively accessible through the control panel. Removing an installation from the WHMCS client area is not supported.

Note: Please bear in mind that WordPress Toolkit and WordPress Manager are two separate applications.
A single instance cannot be managed from either app, an instance created via the WP Toolkit can be managed in this app only, it cannot be fetched by the WordPress Manager module and the other way around.

While placing an order, your customer will choose an application and along with the account creation, this very application will be installed on the account.
There is nothing else you need to do. The application will be instantly ready for use!
The module offers two ways in which you may generate applications' configurable options - automatically or manually.

Decide which of the applications you wish to offer to your clients, to select all at once, use the 'Toggle All' option.
Press 'Confirm' when ready.

In case you wish to generate the options again for that product, you must previuosy unassign those already generated or delete them.
Otehrwise the ' 'Generate Auto Installer's Applications Configurable Options' button will remain inactive.

As an alternative, you may generate the configurable options in a traditional way.
To do so, come back to your product's configuration, find the 'Applications' section, activate 'Install Applications' , choose 'Auto Installer Type' and activate 'Auto Install On Creation' with 'Use Configurable Options' .

For example, if you would like to set up 'Drupal 8.3.2' in your applications list, you will need to enter 'Drupal' or 'Drupal|Drupal 8.3.2' into the value field.
1. If you have made a mistake with the application name, the autoinstaller will not work.
2. In the current version, for a variable you have to enter only the application name (without application version number) and only the latest version available on the application list will be installed.
Now that you know what values should be entered in configurable options, we can proceed further.

Here you can set up as many applications as you want. To do so, enter a value name, e.g. 'WordPress |WordPress 4.7.5' and press 'Save Changes' .
Repeat this as many times as you need and do not forget to set 'Option Type' to 'Dropdown' .

Remember that you cannot type the application version number as a variable! Only the latest version available will be installed.

When you finish adding the applications, press 'Save Changes' and 'Close Window'.

This option is used to enable the creation of auto update backups for a first chosen application after the initial order in WHMCS.
Please note that this option works only with the Installatron plugin and Auto Update Backup Enabled By Default On Order setting in the module addon features has to be disabled to make this configurable option work properly.

Please note that you can have more configurable options groups. Press 'Save' . You have just successfully assigned configurable options to the application auto installation.

As you can notice, a dropdown menu with the previously configured applications has appeared.

Until this moment applications have been installed with the use of default details like e.g. directory names or database name.
Those details are sent to each customer's email.
Allowing your customers to choose their own installation paths, usernames and others is a safer and recommended solution. Let us see how to do that.
In the beginning, go to 'Product/Services' , find your product using 'Plesk Extended' module and enter the 'Custom Fields' category.
You will need to add 12 custom fields, the first 8 being:

• Directory
• Database Name
• Database Username
• Database Password
• Table Prefix
• Site Name
• Site Description
• Language

Remember to set each field type as 'Text Box' , tick 'Required Field ' and 'Show on Order Form'.
Everything is shown on the screen below.

• Admin Username
• Admin Password
• Admin Email

Set them as 'Text Box' and tick 'Show on Order Form'.

• Auto Update

Set it as 'Drop Down' , enter 'Yes, No' into 'Select Options' , tick 'Required Field ' and 'Show on Order Form'.

Voila! Now your customers can personalize each application without the necessity of installing it later.

For this purpose, you need to add a new custom field for your product. The field should be called 'Language' .

In order to change the default application language for a certain account, enter the appropriate value here.

Here you will find a complete list of language codes.

To do so, change the type of servers and module names of products from 'Plesk' to 'PleskExtended'.
Additional information about how to correctly configure your servers and products can be found at points 8-16 of the 'Installation and Configuration' section.

1. Firstly, manually create an order for your customer in WHMCS. Choose a client and in the summary view, click on the ' Add New Order' button. Next, select a 'Product/Service' and press 'Submit Order' .
What is important, do not perform the 'Create' action. The status has to remain as 'Pending' .
More info about placing orders can be found here
2. Proceed to the newly created product's card in your admin area. Find the following empty fields:

• Domain
• Username
• Password

The above-mentioned information has to be consistent with the data from your cPanel account. Now, complete these fields as presented below.
Important! Remember to make sure that the format of the provided data is compatible with the format supported by the module. You can preview it for another product of the module you have already created and enter it in a similar way.
Note: You need to enter a password to your Plesk account. If for some reason, you do not remember your password, there has to be the possibility to reset your password and create a new one in your panel.
If you completed the required data, now change the status from 'Pending' to 'Active' and 'Save Changes' .

After performing this action, do not forget to run the following cron command:

 php -q  yourModulePath/modules/servers/PleskExtended/cron/cron.php account:synchronize 

Explore the examples below for real-world applications of the module.

Then, set the account status to active.

 >  php -q run.php client:plesk:delete 

 yourModulePath/modules/servers/PleskExtended/cron/cron.php secretKeys:delete 

Important: If you are upgrading from Plesk Extended 2.X to 3.X version of the module, you have to delete the old /modules/servers/pleskExtended/ folder (started with a lower case letter) before you start using a new version.
You also need to set recursively writable permissions for storage directories in these two locations:

1. your_whmcs/modules/addons/PleskExtended/
2. your_whmcs/modules/servers/PleskExtended/

Then, after activation of the new addon version, all data from the old version of the addon and the product configurations will be automatically migrated to the new version.
In addition, remember to reissue your license due to changes in the folder names.

Note: from 3.0.0 version of the module the cron execution is also no longer required.

Opt for the Open Source version of your Plesk Extended For WHMCS module to unlock these benefits.
Simply click on either the Get Source Code or Upgrade To Lifetime button found on the product's page in our client area to complete the one-step upgrade process, with a dedicated discount already applied.

Follow a comprehensive guide covering the transition process, the advantages it brings, and step-by-step instructions on what to do next after the order has been successfully finalized.

Once you enter the name, the problem will disappear.

Here you can find more information on how to change the default port in Linux and Windows

Try entering your Plesk IP address into the Hostname field in the server configuration.

Check connection details and the connection itself between WHMCS and server.

You need admin account access to use PPPE module. Reseller account API is not supported.

Reason: Some libraries may be missing.
Solution: Make sure you have installed php-xml library.

Please note that for Plesk Extended For WHMCS V2.0.0 and later, the license key begins with:

$plesk_extended_licensekey="ModulesGarden_PleskEX_LicenseKey";

Not as it was for the previous versions:

$parallels_plesk_panel_extended_licensekey="ModulesGarden_PleskEX_LicenseKey";

This might occur when a client has both normal and reseller hosting accounts. In this case, we recommended to try the 'Separate Plesk User' option for the product's configuration.

This means the following functionalities:

• Backups
• Spam Filter (SpamAssassin)
• Web Users

will not work anymore and even more features may become incompatible with further versions of Plesk. If you need full compatibility, please use the last compatible Plesk 17.5 version.

You can set it up as described in Configuration of Addon section in step 29.

 php yourModulePath/modules/servers/PleskExtended/cron/cron.php secretKeys:delete
