The module also offers the choice of three Auto Installers - Softaculous, Installatron and Plesk Application to allow clients add their favorite applications in just a few clicks.

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

Note: You can check the current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so, proceed to 'Utilities' › 'System' › 'PHP Info'.

The content of PHP version files should look like this.

File is located in 'modules/servers/pleskExtended/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

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

This folder is available at two locations:

1. your_whmcs/modules/addons/PleskExtended/
2. your_whmcs/modules/servers/PleskExtended/

Login to your WHMCS admin area. Click 'Setup' then choose 'Addon Modules'.
Afterward, find 'Plesk Extended Center' and press the 'Activate' button.

To do so, press 'Configure'. Afterward, select required administrator roles and press 'Save Changes' .

To do so, log in into your WHMCS. Press 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Servers'. Afterward, press 'Add New Server'.

Here you can also provide other server details like nameservers or maximum number of accounts. Finally press 'Test Connection' to check if the provided credentials are valid.

Important: Due to changes in the original WHMCS Plesk module, it may be required to additionally enter the IP address into the Hostname field even if you have already provided it in the below IP Address field.
Otherwise, the "Could not resolve host" error may occur.

Now, you need to create a new group for your server. For that purpose press 'Create New Group'.

If you do not have a product group, 'Create a New Group'.

To create a product press 'Create a New Product'.

Please note that you may select only between 'Hosting Account' and 'Reseller Account' when choosing the product type as only those are supported by Plesk module.

Remember to add your 'Client Template Name' or 'Service Plan Name'. Plesk Extended will not work properly without a specified plan name.
Decide on the way Plesk will assign IP addresses in the accounts creation process, using the 'IP Address Types' dropdown list.
Here you may also enable the 'Power User' view. Do not forget to 'Save Changes' .

Go to 'Addons' → 'Plesk Extended' in your WHMCS.
You will find there dashboard with a short guide where you will find a few steps described to start your successful work with our module.
There are also precise data on available products and servers:

• See the number of active/suspended/terminated accounts
• See the list of configured Plesk products and servers
• Go directly to the product and server configuration
• Log in to Plesk panel from server configuration with one click
• Easily upgrade the already configured Plesk product to Plesk Extended

To show you an example, we will set the configuration from the beginning, without using other configuration options of the product.

Select the features you would like to activate for your customers.

In 'Autoinstaller Type' you are free to choose between 'Installatron' , 'Softaculus' and 'Default' autoinstallers.

Use 'Autoinstall On Create' switch and select the default option from the 'Apps / Configurable Options' list.

You can also choose the desired language of the applications by typing in its two-letter code in the 'Language' field. A complete list of language codes can be found here.
If the field is left blank, a default value, which is 'en' (English) will be used.

Moreover, you can permit your clients to toggle automatic backups for application updates or enable them for the first chosen application after the initial order.

Note: You can also create a configurable option with an app to be installed. You can find the instruction to do that here.

Its purpose is to download the available application list in a text format that can be then used for configurable options.

More information about the available configurable options and custom fields can be found here.

Find the 'Copy' button on the list with products or select multiple item at once.
Then choose the product configuration whose settings you wish to copy into the selected products.

Press the ' Configuration' button next to a desired server.

Here is a view of the ordered product summary in admin area. Available actions:

• Log In To Control Panel
• Use Module Commands: 'Create', 'Suspend', 'Unsuspend', 'Terminate' the product; 'Change Package' and 'Change Password'.

Note: Before you start, make sure that you have already configured the Plesk Extended server.
To start, proceed to the 'Dashboard' in the Plesk Extended addon. Next, find your standard Plesk product on the list and press the 'Upgrade Product' button.

Note: Make sure that this server configuration is exactly the same as the standard cPanel server configuration.
Press 'Confirm' to proceed with the product upgrade. After completion, the product will switch its module settings to the ones from the Plesk Extended module and server.

In this short guide we will present you the management possibilities of our module.

Note: Make sure this feature is allowed for your account before using

Use Plesk Extended For WHMCS to:

• Install applications
• Edit/delete applications
• Create and restore backups
  

To start, simply proceed to 'Applications' , and then find the 'Install New' section.

Here you will the name of the application, its path, size and available actions:

• Create backup
• Delete application

Once you have created a backup of your application, proceed to the 'Backups' tab.
There you will find a lit of created application backups along with the date when they were created.
Use action buttons marked on the screen to restore and delete a chosen backup.

To do this, go to 'Addons' → 'Plesk Extended' → 'Features' → 'Configuration' and enable Auto Update Backups.

Important: For a large backup files we strongly recommend to increase the 'max_execution_time' setting in your server's 'php.ini' configuration.

Note: that only 'MySQL' and 'PostgreSQL' databases can currently be supported and must be available in your Plesk panel firts.

This allows you to read content of one domain from another domain name.
To create a new redirection press 'Create Domain Alias' .
Note: that domains should be registered with a valid registrar and point to your DNS server.

FTP access management is dependent on the system your Plesk panel is set up on.

Note: if you have some other addon domains, creating a FTP account on the main domain will also add it to these other domains.

You can also adjust sensitivity - by default it might be set to 7 so all messages with that score or more points are classified as spam.
If mailboxes receive lots of spam messages with the current setting, to make the filter more sensitive, try setting a lesser value, for example, 6.
If they are missing emails because spam filter thinks they are junk, try reducing the filter's sensitivity by setting a higher value, for example, 8.

You can also add email messages to white list that won't be checked by the spam filter or black list that from coming from senders will always be blocked.
Simply type domain names, one domain name per line. Addresses can also contain "*" and "?" wildcard characters, for example, *@domain.com, user?@*.com.

Note: the current Plesk API does not give the possibility to preview the automatically generated private key. To do this, you need to login directly into the Plesk panel.

Note that you must have a proper IP address or domain entered in the admin area panel to use this button.

Note that you must have a proper IP address or domain entered in the admin area panel to use this button.

While placing an order your customer chooses an application and along with account creation this very application will be installed on the account.
There is nothing else you need to do. Application will be instantly ready to use!
To set up this feature, come back to your product's configuration, find the 'Applications' section, activate 'Install Applications' , choose 'Autoinstaller Type' and activate 'Autoinstall On Create' with 'Use Configurable Options' .

For example, if you would like to set up 'Drupal 8.3.2' in your applications list, you will need to enter 'Drupal' or 'Drupal|Drupal 8.3.2' into the value field.
1. If you have made a mistake with the application name, the auto installer will not work.
2. In the current version for variable you have to enter only application name (without application version number) and only the latest version available on the application list will be installed.
Now, when you know what values should be entered in configurable options, we can proceed further.

Here you can set up as many applications as you want. To do so, enter a value name e.g. 'Wordress |WordPress 4.7.5' and press 'Save Changes' .
Repeat this as many times as you need and do not forget to set 'Option Type' to 'Dropdown' .

Remember that you cannot type the application version number as variable! Only the latest version available will be installed.

When you finish adding applications, press 'Save Changes' and 'Close Window'.

This option is used to enable the creation of auto update backups for a firstly chosen application after the initial order in WHMCS.
Please note that this option works only with the Installatron plugin and Auto Update Backup Enabled By Default On Order setting in the module addon features has to be disabled to make this configurable option work properly.

Please note that you can have more configurable options groups. Press 'Save' and that's it. You have just successfully assigned configurable options to the application autoinstall.

As you can see, a dropdown menu with the previously configured applications has shown up.

Until that moment applications had been installed with use of default details like e.g. directory names or database name.
Those details are sent to each customer's email.
Allowing your customers to choose their own installation paths, usernames and others is a safer and recommended solution.. Let's see how can we do that.
In the beginning, go to 'Product/Services' , find your product using 'Plesk Extended' module and enter 'Custom Fields' category.
You will need to add 12 custom fields, the first 8 are:

• Directory
• Database Name
• Database Username
• Database Password
• Table Prefix
• Site Name
• Site Description
• Language

Remember to set each field type as 'Text Box' , tick 'Required Field ' and 'Show on Order Form'.
Everything is shown on the screen below.

• Admin Username
• Admin Password
• Admin Email

Set them as 'Text Box' and tick 'Show on Order Form'.

• Auto Update

Set it as 'Drop Down' , enter 'Yes, No' into 'Select Options' , tick 'Required Field ' and 'Show on Order Form'.

Voila! Now your customers can personalize each application without the necessity of installing it later.

For this purpose you need to add a new custom field for your product. The field should be called 'Language' .

In order to change the default application language for a certain account enter here the appropriate value.

Here you will find a complete list of language codes.

To do so change the type of servers and module names of products from 'Plesk' to 'PleskExtended'.
Additional information about how to correctly configure your servers and products can be found at points 8-16 of the 'Installation and Configuration' section.

Then set the account status to active.

Important: If you are upgrading from Plesk Extended 2.X to 3.X module version, you have to delete the old /modules/servers/pleskExtended/ folder (started with a lower case letter) before you start using a new version.
You also need to set recursively writable permissions for storage directories in these two locations:

1. your_whmcs/modules/addons/PleskExtended/
2. your_whmcs/modules/servers/PleskExtended/

Then after activation of the new addon version, the all data from the old version of the addon and the products configurations will be automatically migrated to the new version.
In addition, remember to reissue your license due to a changes in the folder names.

Note: since 3.0.0 module version the cron execution is also no longer required.

Keep in mind there is a quick and easy option in our client area that will let you upgrade the license of your module to an open source version at any time - and at a lower price!
To take advantage of it, simply use the License Upgrade button located on the product's page and a discounted invoice will be generated automatically.

Once you enter the name, the problem will disappear.

Here you can find more information on how to change default port in Linux and Windows

Try enter your Plesk IP address into the Hostname field in the server configuration.

Check connection details and the connection itself between WHMCS and server.

You need admin account access to use PPPE module, reseller account API is not supported.

Reason: Some libraries may be missing.
Solution: Make sure you have installed php-xml library.

Please note that for Plesk Extended For WHMCS V2.0.0 and later the license key begins with:

$plesk_extended_licensekey="ModulesGarden_PleskEX_LicenseKey";

Not as it was for the previous versions:

$parallels_plesk_panel_extended_licensekey="ModulesGarden_PleskEX_LicenseKey";

This means the following functionalities:

• Backups
• Spam Filter (SpamAssassin)
• Web Users

will not work anymore and even the more features may become incompatible with further versions of Plesk. If you need full compatibility please use the the last compatible Plesk 17.5 version.
