Licenses have to be re-issued if installed in a different location or moved. When you have a paid license, you can login and re-issue the license on your own. With a trial license, you don't have an account but we can re-issue it for you. Just find your key under Settings > System > General > License Key and send that to support@blesta.com to open a ticket. If you are locked out and can't find the key, send us the installation URL instead (prior to any move).

thanks Serge.. I got it working and it was something you reminded me to do, I forgot to restart php-fpm service after making the changes ! LOL I was only restarting Nginx ! it works now with backend admin nav links with friendly urls There seems to be a few Centmin Mod LEMP stack users on this forum using Blesta, so here's the nginx vhost I have for my Centmin Mod LEMP stack's Nginx vhost # Centmin Mod Getting Started Guide # must read http://centminmod.com/getstarted.html # redirect from non-www to www # uncomment, save file and restart Nginx to enable # if unsure use return 302 before using return 301 #server { # listen 80; # server_name newdomain.com; # return 301 $scheme://www.newdomain.com$request_uri; # } server { server_name newdomain.com www.newdomain.com; # ngx_pagespeed & ngx_pagespeed handler #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeed.conf; #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedhandler.conf; #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedstatslog.conf; # limit_conn limit_per_ip 16; # ssi on; access_log /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/log/access.log combined buffer=256k flush=60m; error_log /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/log/error.log; root /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public; location ~ (\.pdt) { return 403; } location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; } include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles_blesta.conf; include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf; include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf; } for /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles_blesta.conf include file it's just created from default /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf with a css and html context locations commented out cp -a /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles_blesta.conf location ~* \.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso)$ { gzip_static off; #add_header Pragma public; add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate"; access_log off; expires 30d; break; } location ~* \.(js)$ { #add_header Pragma public; add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate"; access_log off; expires 30d; break; } # location ~* \.(css)$ { # #add_header Pragma public; # add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate"; # access_log off; # expires 30d; # break; # } # location ~* \.(html|htm|txt)$ { # #add_header Pragma public; # add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate"; # access_log off; # expires 1d; # break; # } location ~* \.(eot|svg|ttf|woff|woff2)$ { #add_header Pragma public; add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate"; access_log off; expires 30d; break; } Guess next step is SPDY/3.1 SSL http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure_https_ssl_spdy.html

While I understand your point, but I would say that this is quite subjective as different businesses / users have different requirements. For me right now a fully comprehensive eNom module would rank as high priority, while this may not necessary be the same for another user. I appreciate that Blesta has an extensive API, but I for one am not a developer and don't want to spend an arm and a leg in hiring someone to do this for me when the features I require come as standard out-of-the box with the competitor software. Paul, as I hinted in my original post, I do really like the Blesta product and do hope that we can move to it sometime in the very near future. If all the features required by my business was already available in Blesta, believe you me I would probably jump ship to Blesta the very same day! Domain is now very big business for me, but right now I feel that Blesta is not quite ready or fully equipped to handle the domain front out-of-the-box. While the competitor has not really released any new features I agree, but I would say that it has tried to improve it's eNom domain module and are quite proactive. Last year they released a "Claim your .UK" addon when Nominet released shorter .UK domains. V6 now comes with an eNom name spinner. Furthermore, there are also developers that have released good eNom modules that further enhance the domain and SSL business that we are using. So essentially, if it hasn't been released by the competitor there is something out there already released by a developer, can't say the same about Blesta just yet. I do hope that it will be considered and feature request sent higher up in the priority list. Yes nelsa, Blesta does have an impressive stability record and, although I'm not a coder, its quite apparent that their code is very well written. I am too quite surprised there isn't an active developer community just yet. I don't know whether its because there isn't a lot of companies using Blesta just yet, but at the same time I would say that it's probably because Blesta doesn't yet tick all the boxes, if more developers got involved I'm sure more people would migrate over much sooner. It's a bit like the debate on what comes first - an egg or the chicken? So in the Blesta scenario - do you wait for customers to come first before working / investing in modules or do the latter first and attract more customers as a result? Unfortunately we have considered all other providers but for us eNom suits us best. Due to the volume, we also have some pretty good pricing from them too. Couldn't agree with you more!!!! But thanks all for reading my feedback!

I'm agree with naja7host. We selected Blesta to sell other web services. After years, we're moving to sell also hosting but objectively there are a few limitations on it: first of all, the way to sell hosting > domain as described by naja7host, especially useful when we want to sell hosting package with a free domain included (as a great number of providers do). We tried with a few old clients that wanted buy some hosting plans: at the end... we done a live chat support to guide the user. As Licensecart often says, a few clients aren't the rule but my question is: why the majority of hosting resellers do differently? Sorry, for my poor english

paypal sandox is know for not working well, so better to use Paypal merchant production account and make your product at very few price for test by paying from a paypal user account.

If you are using the same domain / ip you've used a trial on it it will work with the same trial license, if you move it to a new IP, it will need re-issuing and therefore break, so you will need to get a new trial license from Paul on sales@ or pm him here, or migrate to a monthly / owned license.

It doesn't effect Blesta, the only ones so far is tickets where you get a reply or a new ticket, I just close them.

thanks Mike will check that out tomorrow

Yeah mate you can copy the package and make it a "restricted" package so you can allow customers to use that package if you want to. Client account > More options on the left > Set Packages > tick the box > save. Then you can order it for them, Blesta is allowing customers to order restricted packages if they have access on the order forms soon so that will bypass that.

Invalid emails to department emails which require a client will get an email saying: Our system received your email, but was unable to process it for one of the following reasons.. 1. The email address you sent the message from does not belong to any of our clients and this department only allows existing clients to open tickets. 2. You replied to a ticket notice, and we are unable to determine what ticket number you are responding to. 3. The department you emailed no longer exists. Please open a ticket at: http://blesta-hostname.com/customers/plugin/support_manager/client_tickets/departments/ Is that what you asked for mate?

i'm talking just about hosting + domain , for resellers i will make another order form . normally every group of product should be in thier own order form .

There's no way at the moment I select don't invoice if they are testing services. You could record a transaction or put an invoice note.

Yes , is hard . every market has it own concept of use , and it own tructure of use . we don't need the client ot be losed in the order form if they click other product . also what is the meaning of other product ? normally is hosting industry , domain + hosting , or just domain or just hosting , any other product related should be addons (privacy , ssl, dedictated ip , ...ect ) . i will not tell you see how competitors done this , but test any hosting provider that use it own system to see how it should work , like OVH , HOSTDIME , HOSTPAPA ....ect all they let you 1 - choose the host package, 2 - select domain (register/transfer/use your own) , 3 - select addons ; 4 - then registration and payment . OR 1 - select domain (register/transfer/use your own) , 2 - choose the host package, 3 - select addons ; 4 - then registration and payment . and to be clear , we want help blesta in improuving the aspect of thier mecanism , we are not againts IT.

thanks Mike will ensure to make mysql backups and file backup

the actual looking/structure is not adecuate for domain+hosting market . Order other products != use your domain . with a simple search in this forum i found a lot of thread talking about the same subject , selling domains + hosting with blesta has some obstacle . really blesta shoud take care of this subject , the main market for billing sotware is the hosting industries . blesta is perfect now for selling other products .

You just have to use the database and ensure you keep the encryption key from the config/blesta.php of the old installation.

Here's a quick video for you on how to set it up mate: http://screencast.com/t/6YxNfTuvCI Welcome email content I did: Hello {client.first_name}, Thank you for ordering your {service.gogetssl_product} with us, please approve your email address which has been sent to {service.gogetssl_approver_email}.

Client side template is in www.yourdomain.tld/blesta_dir/app/views/client ,as already pointed you shoud copy bootstrap folder and rename it(otherwise it will be overwrited every time you update blesta),after you did that ,go in www.yourdomain.tld/blesta_dir/app/views/client/renamed_foldler and you will see structure.pdt file . In this file you can edit header,content/holder and footer and if you edit header and footer(which is mostly what users do when integrate html template) in structure.pdt file it will be included in every page at client side,so response is you don't need to edit each file when it comes header and footer. Blesta is very frendly once you understand how it works and it is very modular even when it comes design. And offcourse you must go to settings and set client template to your custom renamed template.

I guess it's double the confusion being new to both Blesta ( only used for a few hours today) + new to using GoGetSSL blesta module. Don't know where to begin for setting up the SSL products within Blesta admin area Only setup my sandbox GoGetSSL and sandbox Paypal APIs and Amazon SES for smtp emails. Was hoping there's some documentation for setting up GoGetSSL products - especially mass imports or setups as opposed to having to add each product manually one by one

I think wh*** will be losing more of their clients in near future .. simply because commercial steps does not work by their way, and thats the main point. If they are developers let them stick into that kind of work, and stop doing stupid inexperienced commercial moves. Adding 100% fees for the same service they are doing everyday is not wise. In my opinion, they are expecting (or already happens) seeing people quitting wh***, therefore, the increment is done to try to cover the loss of leaving clients.

+1 for the blesta module. webmin/vitualmin is really good and when using this modern bootstrap theme, it's really fine: https://github.com/qooob/authentic-theme

in your vhost file for your domain (for debian it's under: /etc/nginx/sites-available) before the php location block, have you this: ## Your only path reference. root /MY-FULL-PATH-TO-BLESTA-INSTALL/ ; index index.html index.htm index.php; #Core rewrite location @blesta { rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php last; # rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php/(.*) /$1 permanent; } and just before the end of the "server" block: if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php; } #Core rewrite location @blesta { rewrite ^(.*)$/index.php/(.*) /$1 permanent; } and restart 1/ php5-fpm 2/ nginx

Is there any hope to see virtualmin module working on production or a stable version of it, even it doesn't provide all the features virtualmin has?

Transfers, registrations, whois management, nameserver management, and domain locking and EPP codes should now be functions with the below release. If anyone has a Blesta development license, any help with testing would be much appreciated. A test API account can be requested by emailing one of the guys at Namesilo - support (at) namesilo.com. Bugs are probably best added via Github, and I'm subscribed here also, if there are any comments. https://github.com/NETLINK/Blesta-Namesilo/releases/tag/1.0.3-alpha Thanks!

You only need to make a product in a module if you are using the "Universal Module" if you don't use that you don't need to make one and if you are only using it without any fields you can use it for every product you need you don't need to remake them. All you need to do is: - Package Group (Webhosting, Domains, Licenses) - Order Form (webhosting,shared,reseller,licenses,domains,register) - Packages (Per product). It's simple and how it should be.

I can confirm that having multiple companies in Blesta, and using the same PayPal account for them works perfectly.

yes, at paypal account, enable ipn(redirection), & give an url. It's will be like activating IPN at paypal. but after that paypal will take in first ipn url given automatically as a parameter in the blesta api call

Hello {client.first_name}, Your {package.gogetssl_product} has been issued. Please check your {service.gogetssl_approver_email} email address to approve the certificate. You will then get a email with your certificate file.

Been sorting out a few Nginx Issues as well - especially around forcing everything to use https If you need a hand generating your CSR and a self-signed cert for testing I think I have a guide somewhere as well. My stack where blesta is installed is a centminmod install, and then I just added a vhost where I installed Blesta in the root. My complete sanitized vhost config file is included for reference. server { server_name namegoeshere.com; access_log /path/to/access.log combined buffer=32k; error_log /path/to/error.log; root /path/to/docroot; listen 80; listen 443 default ssl; ssl on; ssl_certificate /path to/certificate.crt; ssl_certificate_key /path/to/ssl.key; ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m; ssl_session_timeout 10m; ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; ssl_ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:AES256-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!eNULL:!NULL:!DH:!EDH:!AESGCM; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; # Force All pages to use SSL if ($ssl_protocol = "") { rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent; } location ~ (\.pdt) { return 403; } location / { error_page 404 = @blesta; log_not_found off; if ($request_uri ~ "^(.*)/install.php$"){ rewrite install.php /%1/install/ redirect; } } location @blesta { rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php last; } include /path/to/php.conf; } Specific Issue that I had using the centminmod stack was I had to remove the included config file for staticfiles - it sets cache headers for several static files and was causing issues with the navigation in the admin panel (css). For fine-tuning, I will probably make a copy of this file and remove just the css stuff to keep it all as fast as possible.
