|}
{|
|style="padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;"|'''2. In the downloaded file you might find one or two packages that support different PHP versions.'''<br/>
In the most recent versions of the module, you will find only one package that supports PHP 7.1 and later.<br/> If you need a package for the previous versions of PHP, please [https://www.modulesgarden.com/support/ticket/general-support contact our support].

The first one that supports PHP 5.6 up to PHP 7.0, and the second one addressed to PHP 7.1 up to PHP 7.3.<br/>
'''''Note:''' Keep in mind that PHP versions 5.6 up to 7.0 are no longer officially supported and their security issues are not fixed or released any more. Find more info [http://php.net/supported-versions.php here].''

To do so, proceed to ''' 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'.'''
|}
{|
|style="padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;"|'''3. Once you have chosen the package with the right PHP version, extract it and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory.'''<br />

* Mail cron - will be used to send emails to clients after Server creation, reinstallation and entering the rescue mode.<br/>You will find more information on this topic in the product configuration section. We suggest the cron to run every 5 minutes:

**VPS Cloud
**VPS Cloud RAM
**VPS SSD

Due to API limitations, all emails with server credentials can only be sent to your OVH / Kimsufi / So You Start email address set in the panel.<br/>This applies to messages with credentials sent after creating the server as well as messages sent after reinstallation.<br/>The solution to this problem is email piping that will be used to receive messages sent to your OVH mailbox and then forwarded through the templates further to your WHMCS clients.<br/>

'' '''Note:''' Even though the module filters the received messages in your mailbox, we recommend that you use a '''separate''' mailbox for your main OVH VPS and Dedicated Servers profile account to avoid any issues with non-OVH content.''<br/>

After setting up the dedicated mailbox, provide its valid credentials below and test whether the connection has been established correctly.

'''''Note:''' There is available an option to 'Disable Certificate Validation'. Please toggle this option ONLY if you are having troubles with the connection. The certificate validation will be omitted when connecting to an email box.''

Take a look at the [[#Tips|Tips]] section - tip no 1, and check the templates' types.
