Tips
1. We advice to create one SoftLayer user per each order. Currently, suspending SoftLayer hosting suspends SoftLayer user bounded to it. |
2. If a reboot command has been issued successfully in the past 20 minutes, another remote management command will not be allowed. This is to avoid any type of server failures. |
3. If you want to disable displaying of API access details form in your template there is two things you need to do. 1. Check 'Hide API Access Details' checkbox at your SoftLayer product → 'Module Settings' . {if $username} //code responsible for displaying form with API access details {/if} Note: Portal template already has such solution in its clientareaproductdetails.tpl file, so you can view how it's implemented. |
Common Problems
1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports. |
