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 correct operation of the module. Afterward, check your WHMCS server connection and product settings. If you are certain that everything is correct, use our Debug Mode.

3. By default, our module connects with SolusVM server on port 5353. If you are using a different port, you need to specify it in 'Hostname' field. The 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. The field below 'Tick to use SSL Mode for Connections' switches the connection type between http and https. Note that this is something different from choosing the port to connect.
