Debug Mode
SolusVM Extended VPS is a very complex module. Therefore many things might go wrong.
To help you quickly solve various problems usually connected with WHMCS product/server configuration and SolusVM server configuration, we created 'Debug Mode' .
To enable it, go to 'Module Settings' of your product and tick 'Debug Mode' as shown on the screen below.
|
Afterwards, go to 'Utilities' → 'Logs' → 'Module Log' and click on 'Enable Debug Logging' in order to enable it.
Now, each action performed by the module will be recorded in the module log.
In that way, you can easily check whether the module correctly fetches the information about virtual servers, nodes, templates, plans etc.
If not, it will indicate a problem with WHMCS product/server configuration or your SolusVM server.
The following screen presents exemplary module log.
|
Remember to turn off Debug Mode after you fix the problem.
|
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 to processing the request and execution of operation.
|
3. In the current version of SolusVM API there is no possibility to automatically upgrade Virtual Machine therefore you have to perform this action manually.
Upgrading package in the SolusVM VPS Extended module means upgrading Solus Plan.
|
Common Problems
1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
|
2. The vast majority of problems are connected with misconfigured SolusVM server or misconfigured servers/products in your WHMCS.
Firstly, 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 a 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.
|
3. Your client gets white page with '{"success":"1","status":"1"}' while entering 'Control Panel' .
Cause: SolusVM client area template is based on Bootstrap, which may sometimes cause such errors.
Solution: Switch template used by SolusVM client area.
|
4. You have received following error:
Error 'Fatal error: Call to undefined function mime_content_type() in
/your_whmcs/clients/modules/servers/solusvmExtendedVPS/solusvmExtendedVPS.php on line 0 '.
Reason: Function 'mime_content_type()' is disabled at your server. Our module uses it in order to detect MIME Content-type for a file.
Solution: Enable function mime_content_type() in your PHP or ask your server provider to do so.
|
5. By default our module connects with SolusVM server on port 5353. If you are using different port, you need to specify it in 'Hostname' field.
Default port for SSL connections is 5656. To connect on that port enter your hostname as follows: 'yourhostname.com:5656' . Keep in mind that you can connect on any port.
Field below 'Tick to use SSL Mode for Connections' switches connection type between http and https. Note that this is something different from choosing the port to connect.
