Tips

1. Keep in mind that user packages and reseller packages are two different things.

When you configure a typical product for your customers in the WHMCS, you would usually need to enter one of your user packages, not the reseller packages.

2. To manage SSL certificates, your customers require an owned IP.

In other case module will return the following error: 'You can manage SSL certificates when you own the IP you are using. Info for admins: Assign an owned IP'.

DA 75.png
To add owned IP, log in to your DirectAdmin admin area, go to 'IP Management' section, add the IP and assign it to the admin.
DA 76.png
Afterwards manage the user for whom you want to add the IP.

Set IP to your previously created IP, save changes and make sure that this IP will be current IP of your customer.

DA 77.png
If you add more IP addresses with free status in your DirectAdmin, you can quickly assign those IP addresses to your customers in WHMCS.

For this purpose, simply type the IP in the 'Dedicated IP' field, press 'Enter' on your keyboard and update the product package through clicking on 'Change Package' button.

DA 78.png

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. If you have problems with connection make sure that port 2222 is open.
3. If after installation, you get an ionCube encoder problem (wrong version), please open a support ticket.

We will provide you with different version of the module encrypted with the older version of ionCube.

4. You cannot change direct admin port to other than 2222, due to WHMCS DirectAdmin module limitation.

DirectAdmin Extended For WHMCS rely on default WHMCS DirectAdmin module.
