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.
