How to Troubleshoot Unexpected Service Terminations<\/h1>\n
\n

Symptom<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

The system is unexpectedly terminating services (for example, hosting accounts).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Causes<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

The system may terminate services for the following reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The product’s configuration automatically terminates it after a fixed term. (The system will terminate it at the end of that term.)<\/li>\n
  2. The service’s\u00a0Next Due Date<\/strong>\u00a0value is far enough in the past to trigger the\u00a0Overdue Termination<\/strong>\u00a0function.<\/li>\n
  3. An admin clicked\u00a0Terminate<\/strong>\u00a0in the\u00a0Module Commands<\/strong>\u00a0section for the service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    WHMCS can also perform service cancellations. For more information, see\u00a0Cancellation Requests.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    All module actions, including termination, create an entry in the\u00a0Activity Log<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0Configuration > System Logs<\/strong>. Review the log entries at the time of termination to identify the cause.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    If there is not an entry in the\u00a0Activity Log\u00a0<\/strong>at\u00a0Configuration > System Logs<\/strong>, the current WHMCS installation did\u00a0not\u00a0<\/strong>perform the termination. Check for previous installations of WHMCS or actions that occurred directly on the hosting server.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Fixed Term<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n

    If the termination is due to the end of a fixed term, you will see the following log entry:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    Cron Job: Auto Terminating Fixed Term Service - Service ID: x\r\n...\r\nAutomated Task: Starting Fixed Term Terminations<\/code><\/pre>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n
    To address this:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Go to\u00a0Configuration > System Settings >\u00a0<\/strong>Products\/Services<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    2. Edit the desired product.<\/li>\n
    3. In the\u00a0Pricing<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>tab, set\u00a0Auto Terminate\/Fixed Term<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a00<\/code>.<\/li>\n
    4. Click\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Repeat the process for any other products that you do not want to automatically terminate after a fixed term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      Overdue Termination<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      If the termination is because the service is overdue, you will see the following log entry:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      Cron Job: Terminating Service - Service ID: x\r\n...\r\nAutomated Task: Starting Overdue Terminations<\/code><\/pre>\n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      \n
      To address this:<\/p>\n
        \n
      1. Go to\u00a0Configuration > System Settings >\u00a0<\/strong>Automation Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. Increase the\u00a0Termination Days<\/strong>\u00a0value.<\/li>\n
      3. Click\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        This will increase the time before the system terminates overdue services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
        Admin Termination<\/h3>\n
        \n
        \n
        If the termination is because an admin terminated the service, you will see the following log entry:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
        Module Terminate Successful - Service ID: x<\/code><\/pre>\n
        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
        \n
        This entry indicates that an admin clicked\u00a0Terminate<\/strong>\u00a0under the\u00a0Module Commands<\/strong>\u00a0section in the\u00a0Products\/Services<\/strong>\u00a0tab of the client’s profile.<\/p>\n
        You can review the\u00a0User<\/strong>\u00a0column for the log entry to determine which admin performed the action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
        \n
        You can control the permissions that admins have to perform module command operations at\u00a0Configuration > System Settings >\u00a0<\/strong>Administrator Roles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
