Debug Mode

SolusVM Extended Cloud is very complex module. Therefore many things might go wrong. To help you quickly solve various problems usually connected with WHMCS product/server configuration and SolusVM server configuration, we created a 'Debug Mode' . To enable it, go to 'Module Settings' of your product and tick 'Debug Mode' as shown on the screen below.

Afterwards go to 'Utilities' → 'Logs' → 'Module Log' and click on 'Disable Debug Logging' in order to enable it. From that moment, each action performed by module will be recorded in the log. In that way, you can easily check whether module correctly fetches the information about virtual servers, nodes, templates, plans etc. If it doesn't, that indicates a problem with WHMCS product/server configuration or problem with your SolusVM server. The following screen presents exemplary module log.

Remember to turn off Debug Mode after you fix the problem.

Tips

1. We made every effort to make our module as easy to install, configure and use, as possible. Therefore we paid special attention to displayed messages. Read carefully each message, follow the instructions and you shall have no problems with using the module.

2. Operations performed on the virtual servers are not executed immediately. Give your SolusVM server some time for processing the request and execution of operation.

Common Problems

1. The vast majority of problems are connected with misconfigured SolusVM server or misconfigured servers/products in your WHMCS. First, make sure that your SolusVM server has properly configured virtual servers, nodes, node groups, templates, plans and API access. In most cases, appropriate SolusVM server configuration guarantees correct operation of the module. Afterwards check your WHMCS server connection and products settings. If you are certain that everything is correct, use our Debug Mode.

2. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall is not blocking ports.
