In this short tutorial we will show you how to successfully install DNS Manager For WHMCS.

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

1. Login to your clientarea and download DNS Manager.
File:Step1DNS.png
2. Upload and extract the module into the main whmcs directory.
Files in your whmcs directory should look like this.
File:Step2DNS.png
3. Now you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system.
Login to your WHMCS admin area. Click 'Setup' then choose 'Addon Modules' .
Afterwards find 'DNS Manager' and press Activate button.
File:Step3DNS.png
4. In next step you need to permit access to this module.
To do so click 'Addons' in main WHMCS menu.
Find DNS Manager and press Manage button as shown on the screen below.
File:Step4DNS.png
5. Now choose 'Full Administrator' and press 'Save Changes' .
File:Step5DNS.png
6. When you install DNS Manager for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file.
File is located at modules/addons/dns_manager/license_RENAME.php. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php' .
File:Step6DNS.png
7. In order to configure your license key you have to edit a previously renamed 'license.php' file.
File is located at modules/addons/dns_manager/license.php. Enter your licence key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen.
You can find your license key at your clientarea -> 'My Products'.
File:Step7DNS.png
8. After correct configuration of your license key, you have to configure 'clientareahome.tpl' file located in your currently used templates directory.
The screen below shows how you should properly configure 'clientareahome.tpl' file.
File:Step8DNS.png
For the purposes of presentation we will edit file in default template. Its localization is 'whmcs/templates/default/clientareahome.tpl' .
Here you can download 'clientareahome.tpl' file to see how this file should look like after proper configuring.
8*. If you are using WHMCS v4, you have to rename (ex. dns_hooks.php) and copy 'modules/addons/dns_manager/hooks.php' to the 'includes/hooks/' directory.
9. Good job! You have just successfully installed DNS Manager For WHMCS! Now in your WHMCS system press 'Addons' then press 'DNS Manager' .
You should see a following screen.
File:Step9DNS.png
To provide a DNS management in clientarea simply use this adress 'your_whmcs_url/clientarea.php?managedns' . Replace 'your_whmcs_url' with adress of your whmcs directory.
After you type the correct address you will see a screen as shown below. That's the proof that the entire installation process was successfully completed.
File:Step10DNS.png

Configuration

Connection and basic configuration

At the beginning let's connect DNS Manager with your module. We will show you this process by connecting with cPanel.
In your WHMCS click on 'Addons' then choose 'DNS Manager' . Go to 'Configuration -> Connection' section.
Choose Cpanel from a dropdown menu. Enter your username, user password, Hostname/IP and press 'Test Connection' .
After the appearance of the green sentence 'Connect Succuessful' you can press 'Save' .
Here you can also allow to create DNS zones when already in cPanel as account.
File:DNS1.png
Now press 'Name Servers' and enter the nameservers that will be visible for your customers in their clientarea.

Configuration of processing

In configuration section press 'Processing' . You will see a following screen.
DNS3.png
There are several configuration options. We will present you each one of them.
You can allow DNS zones to create automatically with certain domains, products or products addons. You can also enable Reverse DNS here.
Beneath 'Automatically create zones:' mark for example 'With Product Addons' and select previously created addon/s. We chose 'Great Addon' .
That's it, press Save button. From now on DNS zones will be automatically created with product addon 'Great Addon' .
DNS4.png
You can allow your customers to create their own DNS zones from clientarea for free. For this purpose tick 'Allow to create own zones' -> 'Free for all registered customers' and press 'Save' .
Afterwards all your registered clients will be allowed to create their own DNS zones regardless of registered domains or chosen products.
DNS5.png
There is also an option to allow your customers to create their own DNS zones with for example certain product.
Tick 'Allow to create own zones' -> 'WithProducts' and select previously created product/s. We chose 'DNS Management Product' .
That's all, press Save button. Afterwards your customers will be allowed to create their own DNS zones only together with the order of this product.

Managing DNS zones in clientarea

Adding new DNS zone is very simple. First you need to provide a DNS management in clientarea.
For that purpose simply use this adress 'your_whmcs_url/clientarea.php?managedns' and replace 'your_whmcs_url' with adress of your whmcs directory.
Afterwards press 'Add Zone'
File:DNS11.png
In next step enter your zone name, IP adress and press 'Add Zone' .
File:DNS12.png
If the operation was successful, you will see a following screen.
In order to check your new DNS zone details press Edit button.
File:DNS13.png
You will see a screen similar to the one shown below. Here you can view and edit your zone's details.
File:DNS14.png

Adding default records

DNS Manager allows you to add your own default records to each DNS zone. In order to add new default record press 'Default Records' and 'Add New Record' .
DNS7.png
Afterwards choose your record type from a dropdown menu, enter adress, proper TTL, value and press 'Save Changes' .
DNS9.png
Now we will create new DNS zone to present you our new default record. Press the Edit button next to our new DNS zone.
Keep in mind that new default records will be added only to DNS zones created after adding a new record. Operation will not affect the already existing DNS zones.
File:DNS15.png
On the following screen you see can new default record successfully added to our DNS zone.
File:DNS16.png

Managing Reverse DNS

In order to enable Reverse DNS log in to your WHMCS. Press 'Addons' -> 'DNS Manager' -> 'Processing' and tick 'Enable Reverse DNS' .
File:DNS22.png
Now in your clientarea: 'your_whmcs_url/clientarea.php?managedns' click on 'Manage Reverse DNS' .
File:DNS10.png
Next, press Add button.
File:DNS17.png
Afterwards enter zone name, IP adress, value and press Add button once again.
File:DNS18.png
Your DNS zone and record have been successfully created. Now you can also edit your DNS zones.
File:DNS19.png

Managing zones list

List Zones allows you to monitor and manage your DNS zones. You can synchronize, create or delete zones from here.
Let's for example synchronize one of our DNS zones with the WHMCS system. For that purpose simply press 'Synchronize' .
File:DNS20.png
As you can see synchronization was successful and our zone exists.
File:DNS21.png



Tips

1. To provide a DNS management in clientarea simply use this adress 'your_whmcs_url/clientarea.php?managedns' . Replace 'your_whmcs_url' with adress of your whmcs directory.
