WHMCS has discovered a problem in an earlier EA4 Curl Package introduced on CentOS servers.

WHMCS is an amazingly capable software allowing you to manage your clients from initial purchase, continued support, and billing management on your Cloud Dedicated, VPS, or dedicated server. However, if you already have clients and you’re looking to get started with WHMCS, you will need to get those clients into the new system. While this process does require some manual work, it is absolutely possible and once they are set up, the automation can take over from there! In this guide, I will show you how to manually set up your existing clients into WHMCS.

Any new reseller’s first move when integrating WHMCS is to ensure that the products they are provisioning have the correct resources and limitations for their cPanel packages.

Over the years WHMCS has made some changes to where it stores certain directories, specifically directories outside of public_html. The goal of this is to increase overall security by moving sensitive files to a more protected location. While this change does help to improve WHMCS security, it also adds a few steps of complexity.

1. Log in to your WHMCS Admin dashboard
2. Navigate to Setup -> Products/Services -> Servers
   
3. If this is your first server in WHMCS, you will not see any servers or groups.
   1. You can create a group if you would like to add future servers to the group at a later date. The benefit of this is to have multiple servers to distribute clients. You can always add this at a later time.
   2. Select “Add New Server”
      
4. Adding Your Server
