SA 1.png
2. In the downloaded file you will find two packages that support different PHP versions.
As presented on the screen below, the first one is dedicated to PHP 7, while the second one is aimed at PHP 5.4 up to PHP 5.6.
It does not apply to open source versions.

Note: You can check current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so proceed to 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'.

3. Extract the downloaded file and choose the one with the right PHP version. Upload and extract the PHP file into the main WHMCS directory.

The content of PHP version files should look like this.

4. When you install Server Allocator For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file.

File is located in 'modules/addons/serverswitcher/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

SA 3.png
5. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit a previously renamed 'license.php' file.

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

SA 4.png
6. Now you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system.

Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Go to the 'Setup' → 'Addon Modules' . Afterwards, find 'Server Allocator' and press 'Activate' button.

SA 5.png
7. In the next step you need to permit access to this module.

Management

Server Allocator For WHMCS allows you to automatically switch to wanted server upon specific product configuration.
SA 7.png

Add Group

In order to configure switching rules, proceed with creating of a new group.

Press 'Add Group' to proceed.

SA 8.png
Fill in group name and select desired product groups.

Additionally, select default servers (Ctrl+mouse click for multi select) if you wish to redefine default servers.
Press 'Save' to create group.

SA 9.png

Group Management

Previously created group currently does not affect the system at all.

Let's change that through adding a new rule. Press 'Add Rule' to proceed.

SA 10.png
In the next step select server type that the switch will apply to.

Press 'Next'.

SA 11.png
Each rule can have multiple rule definitions.

Important: Switch will be made only if all of the rule definitions are met.
Let's add first rule definitions, adding it starts with selecting rule definitions type.
To do so, press 'Add Definition' and choose desired one.

SA 12.png
For the purpose of this documentation, we have chosen configurable option rule definition.

Now, we have to select specific configurable option and its value which needs to be chosen.

SA 13.png
Let's add one more rule definition, which in this case will be using product addon.

Press 'Add Definition' → 'Addon' and choose product addon.

SA 14.png
Now, select server you wish to switch to and press 'Save Changes' button.
SA 15.png

Rule Management

Each group and rule can be modified and removed at any time through using buttons marked on the following screen.
SA 16.png
Press 'Links' next to desired rule to view the list of links.
SA 17.png
Each of them leads to the order form with product configured according to defined rule.
SA 18.png

Sample Orders

In this section we will show you how our module works on an exemplary rule shown below.
SA 18 1.png

First Order

Let us order a product fulfilling all conditions for receiving 'cPanel SSD - 99.9' server.

Using this configuration, client pays additionally for 'Based On SSD' addon.

SA 19.png
The switch will be made upon ordering the product (order made from the client area) or accepting the order (order made from the admin area).

Hosting with a switched server is displayed on the following screen.

SA 20.png

Second Order

Let us order a product fulfilling all conditions for receiving 'cPanel SSD - 99.99' server.

Client must pay for 'Based On SSD' as well as for higher guaranteed uptime.

SA 21.png
As displayed on the following screen, the switch has been made successfully.
SA 22.png

Third Order

Let us order a product without 'Based On SSD' addon and with default uptime.

This should result in assigning default 'cPanel - 99.9' server.

SA 23.png
As you can see, switch has not been made and hosting is using default group server.
SA 24.png

Tips

1. In case none of the configuration settings meet any rule, the product will be assigned to a default server.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. You are unable to add a product addon/configurable option/custom field to the rule.

Reason: An item has to be assigned to a product which:

  • Is assigned to a product group included into the switching group.
  • Product is of a type selected during adding a new rule.

Solution: Ensure that an item you are trying to add is assigned to a correct product.
