 +
1. Firstly, manually create an order for your customer in WHMCS. Choose a client and in the summary, view click on the '' ' Add New Order' '' button. Next, select a '' 'Product/Service' '' and press '' 'Submit Order' ''. <br/> '''What is important, do not perform the '' 'Create' '' action.''' The status has to remain as '' 'Pending' ''. <br/> More info about placing orders can be found [https://docs.whmcs.com/Order_Management#Placing_an_Order here]<br/>
 +
2. Proceed to the newly created product's card in your admin area. Find the following empty field:
 +
*'''Server Name'''
 +
The above-mentioned information has to be consistent with the data from your OVH panel. Now, complete this field as presented below. <br/> '''Important!''' Remember to make sure that the format of the provided data is compatible with the format supported by the module. You can preview it for another product of the module you have already created and enter it in a similar way. <br/> If you completed the required data, now change the status from '' 'Pending' '' to '' 'Active' '' and '' 'Save Changes' ''.

[edit] About OVHcloud VPS & Dedicated Servers For WHMCS

OVHcloud VPS & Dedicated Servers For WHMCS will let you automatically supply VPS and dedicated servers powered by OVH, as well as So you Start and Kimsufi.

The module will allow your clients not only to remotely control the status of a machine, but also access the KVM and IMPI console, and update reverse DNS paths.
In addition, you will easily decide whether an existing server can be reused by another customer, in case the previous one no longer needs it.

  • Admin Area Features:
✔ Create/Suspend/Unsuspend/Terminate/Renew Server
✔ Power On/Power Off/Reboot Server
✔ Reboot Server In Rescue Mode
✔ Reinstall Server

[edit] Installation and Configuration

This tutorial will show you how to successfully install and configure OVHcloud VPS & Dedicated Servers For WHMCS.

We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process.

[edit] Installation

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.
OVH 1.png
2. Upload and extract the extension into the main WHMCS directory.

Extracted files in your WHMCS directory should look like this:

OVH 2.png
3. When you install OVHcloud VPS & Dedicated Servers For WHMCS for the first time, you have to rename the 'license_RENAME.php' file.

The file is located in 'modules/servers/OvhVpsAndDedicated/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

OVH 3.png
4. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file.

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

OVH 4.png
5. Now, set up the 'storage' folders as recursively writable.

These folders are available at:

  1. '/your_whmcs/modules/servers/OvhVpsAndDedicated/' and
  2. '/your_whmcs/modules/addons/OvhVpsAndDedicated/'
OVH 4 1.png
6. The last step is setting up the cron job.
  • Mail cron - will be used to send emails to clients after Server creation, reinstallation and entering the rescue mode.
    You will find more information on this topic in the product configuration section. We suggest the cron to run every 5 minutes: 
php -q /your_whmcs/modules/servers/OvhVpsAndDedicated/cron/cron.php mail:run

Remember to replace 'your_whmcs' with your WHMCS root path.

[edit] Activation of Addon

7. Now you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system.

Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Click 'System Settings' and find 'Addon Modules'.
Afterwards, find 'OVHcloud VPS And Dedicated Servers For WHMCS' and press the 'Activate' button.

Note: For "So You Start" and "Kimsufi" select 'Dedicated'.
Check the connection when ready and, if it is successful, save the changes.

OVH 8.png
API details are generated depending on the location where you own the OVH account. These might be:

To create an application, please move directly here and create the necessary keys.
In case you encounter any issues with generating your API details, please contact your provider. To learn more about API, please refer to the documentation.

OVH 8 1.png
After saving the changes, the module will redirect you to your provider's page where the consumer key is generated at once. Please log in and select 'Unlimited' in the key validity field.

The 'Consumer Key ' will be automatically generated and entered in the appropriate field in the server's configuration page in the module.

OVH 8 3.png
12. It is time to create a server group. To do so, click on 'Create New Group'.

OVH 9 1.png

[edit] Configuration of Product

15. In order to create and configure a product, go to 'System Settings' → 'Products/Services'.

Click on 'Create a New Group'.

OVH 10.png
16. Enter your product group name and press 'Save Changes'.
OVH 11.png
17. Once you have a product group, you can create a new product.

OVH 13.png
19. Now, go to the 'Module Settings' section, choose your previously created server group from the dropdown menu.

The module should automatically save and reload the settings. If not, click on the 'Save Changes' option manually.

OVH 14.png
20. Now, you can start configuring the settings of the Server you sell.
Bear in mind that the settings vary, depending on the server type selected.

Underneath we will describe the settings configuration for 'OVH VPS' and 'OVH Dedicated Servers' in details.
Note that settings for 'So You Start' and 'Kimsufi' products are very much alike the 'OVH Dedicated Servers' once, so you may surely base on them while configuring these products.

OVH VPS configuration settings:

  • Solution Type - choose from the available the one that will suit your needs the most
  • Operating System - choose the OS, it can still be reinstalled at any time if such an option is enabled for clients
    • GNU/Linux
    • Windows (Cloud/Cloud RAM only)
  • License - you can select a license from the available ones
  • Data Center Location - choose where the server shall be located on the OVH data center
  • Payment Frequency - define the service payment frequency to pay for renewals before their expiry date. You can set it to manual renewal or choose an automatic renewal frequency:
    • Auto - choose this option to correlate your payment frequency to OVH with the product billing cycle selected in WHMCS.
      Note that 'Triennially' billing cycle is not supported by OVH so keep it unavailable for the clients
    • Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annually, Annually, Biennially - manually define the fixed payment frequency that will be set for the ordered product regardless of the billing cycle offered for clients in WHMCS
  • Prevent System Reinstall - enable if you want to block the OS reinstallation during the upgrade process
  • Snapshot - decide if clients should be allowed to capture an image of the server at a given time.
OVH 15.png
OVH Dedicated Server configuration settings:
  • Operation System Template - choose a template of an operation system to install
  • Operating System Language - choose the language of an installed operation system
  • Plan - check out the powerful line-up of dedicated servers and select the preferred solution
  • Disks - customise your server by selecting one of the available disks
  • Distribution License - choose the distribution license
  • Application License - choose the application license
  • Contract Duration - define the duration of the contract
  • Memory - define the memory of your dedicated server
  • vRack - choose up to 40 Gbps, on certain models, for increased speed
  • Public Network - choose the preferred public network traffic
  • Data Center Location - define where a server will be located on the OVH data center
  • Payment Frequency - define the frequency of payments
OVH 16.png
21. Afterward, set up incoming mail configuration.

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.
This applies to messages with credentials sent after creating the server as well as messages sent after reinstallation.
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.

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.

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 trouble with the connection. The certificate validation will be omitted when connecting to an email box.
Note: The 'Mailbox Folder' option allows you to define your mailbox folder for 'Incoming Mail Configuration' which will be used if received emails are set to be automatically filtered and moved to other than the default folder in the inbox.

OVH 17.png
The cron set during the last stage of the module's installation should periodically check that mailbox for OVH messages.
If any new emails are received, they will be then converted to your email template and sent to the corresponding client.
The default email templates for product creation, reinstallation and reboot in rescue mode can be specified below. Take a look at the Tips section - tip no 1, and check the templates' types.
OVH 18.png
22. Automation Settings section includes detailed actions that will be automatically performed by the module in several situations:
  • Action On Service Suspension - decide what to do with the server in situation when the module command: Suspend has been triggered
    • Stop (VPS)
    • Do Nothing (VPS)
    • Do Nothing (Dedicated Server)
    • Reboot To Rescue (Dedicated Server)
    • Terminate (Dedicated Server)
    • Reinstall (Dedicated Server)
  • Auto Pay With Preferred Method - toggle to make payments for orders automatically with a preferred payment method in OVH Panel
  • Auto Assign VPS/Dedicated Server To Reusable On Termination - when terminated, the server will be in fact cleared and added to the queue to be selected as a reusable by other clients
  • Waive Retractation Period - toggle to resign from the withdrawal period on OVH orders
OVH 19.png
23. The following section is dedicated to the Client Area Features.

You will find here numerous options that can be enabled and then will be available to your clients in their client area. Please note that some options are available for VPS only, Dedicated Server only and some for both of them:

  • Disks (VPS only) - if enabled, clients are allowed to view disks attached to their servers with specified limits
  • Reinstall - if enabled, clients are allowed to reinstall the server in the client area
  • KVM/IPMI Console - if enabled, clients are allowed to manage their server using KVM console
  • Service Information - decide which records will be visible in the client area. Please remember that if you do not choose anything, all records will be displayed in the client area.
  • Rescue Mode - if enabled, clients are allowed to reboot the server in rescue mode
  • IP Addresses - if enabled, clients are allowed to view IP addresses assigned to the server
  • Update Reverse DNS Paths - if enabled, reverse DNS can be updated in the client area, 'IP Addresses' must be previously enabled to use his option
  • Traffic Statistics Graph (Dedicated Server only) - if enabled, clients are allowed to view traffic graph


Important: Access to KVM/IPMI Console and Traffic Statistics Graph is available for OVH only. "Kimsufi" and "So You Start" brands do not support them.

OVH 20.png
24. At the end of the configuration process, you can decide whether you want to generate configurable options for the product.

Configurable options can be used by your clients to select each Server parameters individually during order placement.
Otherwise, if configurable options are not defined, then the fixed parameters specified in the earlier configuration will be used instead.

Configurable options for OVH Dedicated Servers:

  • dedicatedSystemTemplate|Operating System Template
  • dedicatedLanguage|Operating System Language

Configurable options for OVH VPS server type:

  • product|Solution Type
  • systemVersions|Operating System Template
  • localisation|Data Center Location
  • license|License
  • snapshot|Snapshot
OVH 21.png
If you decide to use configurable options, press on the 'Create' button and select which options you want to generate.
Note that the configuration for disabled options will still be taken from the configuration of the main product.
More information about how to use configurable options can be found here or in the official WHMCS documentation.

Follow a comprehensive guide covering the transition process, the advantages it brings, and step-by-step instructions on what to do next after the order has been successfully finalized.

[edit] Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. You may encounter problems while configuring the product for the dedicated server type for 'So you Start' or 'Kimsufi' brands.
As a consequence, options such as plan to configure in the module settings can be unachievable.
Please note that this is most probably caused by API problems on the side of these brands.
However, it is still possible to assign the ordered server directly from the panel of these brands to the client's product at WHMCS by providing its 'Server Name' in the ordered service in the admin area.
3. If you encounter error in logs: Error during create for service #name_of_your_service. Message: Your preferred payment method is not valid

Solution: Please log into your OVH panel and set up a default payment method there.
