Hi,

The Softaculous Team is very happy to announce the release of the WHMCS Plugin which will enable users to install a script when they sign up for a account using WHMCS.

The Documentation on installing this Module is available :
http://www.softaculous.com/wiki/index.php?title=WHMCS_Auto_Install_Module

This feature is truly unique to Softaculous and will it will enable WebHosts to further simplify Installation of Scripts for their users. Users will be able to choose from a list of scripts when they sign up in WHMCS and also give their Admin Details. When the account is created by WHMCS, it will also install the Script the user had selected.

The user can straight away go to their Blogs, forums, Wikis, etc. when the account is set up automatically.

We are also developing our Wiki / Documentation for our users :
http://www.softaculous.com/wiki/

If you have any suggestions or feed back, please post them here.

Regards,
The Softaculous Team

Hi, a few questions:

1. Is there a way to show the apps under groups? we want to show most or all of the scrips available and it can be confusing if they are not organized.

2. Can we preselect an app via an url variable? how?

3. Can you post a full list of app names comma separated to introduce this fast?

Regards,

@easyhost, we will check if such a thing is possible to add it to selectable products. We couldnt go for a module as the Panel Modules are already made and ENCODED by WHMCS. Hence adding it to the module code wasnt possible.

Thanks for the response - they are exactly the same as in your screenshot.

Same problem here, they're all listed but don't seem to get installed.

While ordering the fields didnt appear.
Did you remove the fileds?

Mine works ok, but only if I fill in the directory box. What happens if I want the script installed in the 'root' directory?

If anyone has had this issue and got it to work, please update us.

I've had it install WordPress into the root directory, and into "blog" and it worked both times. Do you have the name as "WordPress" in the list of scripts. I think capitalization matters.

Hi,

Please be sure that the FireWall settings are not blocking the request.
You can contact the Softaculous Support team for help.

Hi,

Are you specifing '/' for the root directory ?
If yes, then that is wrong.
Leave empty for root directory.

Leave the directory field empty.

Okay... I did get Joomla to install and this is what I did. I went through the order process as a client and selected Joomla as my script, I left the "Directory" field blank. It did not install. I did it again and I put "none" in the "Directory" field and it installed. However, I also manually used the "Create" feature in WHMCS and I did not "Accept" the order through my fraud protection. So at this point I am not sure if the fraud protection has something to do with it or if it has something to do with the "Directory" field. Either way I see this as progress I just don't want my clients being forced to have to create a sub directory for their script.

I have a problem no matter what directory is chosen it installs to root. Any ideas ?

I'm trying to use the module with the Ajax single page order form.  It's not working, and support tells me the module has not been tested with the single page form.  Do you know if it's possible to use the module with the single form, or when it will be fixed to work with it?

Ok, so I tested with wordpress and this worked this time. I then tested with another one (LimeSurvey) and it created the account and again did not install the script. The error was shown as the following:

Module Command Error
Sorry, a group for that username already exists.

No, this was 2 seperate installs on 2 seperate domains.

blog.lmhosting.co.uk worked.

survey.lmhosting.co.uk failed.

because it failed, I then tryed it another way to see what the error appeared as when i clicked on 'create' in the module section of the order in the administration side of WHMCS after it had already to auto install.

Hi,

What error was shown ?

While install a fresh install in Softaculous, put a check on Import Sample Data, under DATABASE SETTINGS...

Is there anyone else facing "Blank Page" issue when testing the auto installer in WHMCS?

How to define when you install Wordpress come in the same Portuguese Brazil?

Hi,

Sir, just choose the language Portuguese-BR while installing.

Hi,

Sir the WHMCS auto install module should work on Sub-domain as well. Can you open a support ticket with us with the WHMCS admin account details and the FTP details we will check it.

Hi,

We have checked this and issue is that WHMCS is unable to create the cpanel account for some reason. Unless the account is created Softaculous cannot install any script.

Did you solve this? I have similar problem and after some research find that, for some reason, IP was blocked. After put IP on white-list everything was ok.

Softaculous : Could not login to the remote server. cURL Error : Failed connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:2083; Connection timed out

Hi,

This isn't working for me. It creates the cPanel account but WordPress is not installed.

Error is


Strange, because cURL is enabled on the server running WHMCS and the server that hosts the accounts.

PHP 5.6 is being used on both servers, does this hook work with that version?

Kind regards,
Chris

Hi,

You can add the following line to softaculous_extra.php to disable emails being sent when a script is installed via WHMCS auto install module :

Strange, I just tested this again and now the code

$GLOBALS['softaculous_conf']['defaults']['noemail'] = '1';

isn't working. Installation emails are being sent even though it's in softaculous_extra.php

Having major issues with this.

Have tried different versions of php too and still get the same results.

The complete backend of WHMCS breaks with a 500 error each time I add the softaculous file.

Any reason for this? Removing the file and everything works.

Cheers
