WHMCS System URL
This setting defines the URL to use to access your WHMCS installation. This is based on the location of the files on your server. If possible, WHMCS attempts to set this value automatically during installation, or prompts you for it if you use the command line for installation. For example, http://www.example.com/members/.
We recommend installing an SSL certificate. This will let you enter the SSL URL to enable encrypted connections between WHMCS and your customers and between your staff and the admin area. For example, https://www.example.com/members/.
Limit Activity Log
The maximum number of System related entries that will be stored in Configuration () > System Logs or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Utilities > Activity Log. System related entries are those where the user shows as System and associated to UserID 0. Entries attributed to specific clients will be kept indefinitely for auditing purposes. Client specific log entries can be pruned via Utilities > System > System Cleanup.
Records to Display per Page
The number of records that will be displayed on pages such as view all clients, view all invoices etc.
Maintenance Mode
Enabling this option will prevent your customers from accessing the client area and display the error message you can set beneath, useful when performing upgrades or changes you don’t want them to see. As an admin you will still be able to see the client area but your clients will not. Both the API and Hooks will continue to function unobstructed while Maintenance Mode is enabled.
Maintenance Mode Redirect URL
When a URL is entered into this field, clients will be redirected there when maintenance mode is enabled, instead of seeing the maintenance message.
Friendly URLs
Search Engine Friendly URLs are where a URL which once was "/knowledgebase.php?action=view&id=1" becomes "/knowledgebase/1/How_do_I_access_my_control_panel.html". You can enable these for the MarketConnect landing pages, announcements, downloads and knowledgebase sections of the WHMCS client area.
WHMCS will automatically detect the best option based upon your server environment and highlight it with a green background. A different option can be selected and the status indicator will switch to Manual Override:
- Fully Friendly Rewrite - Example: http://awesome.host/store/ssl-certificates/dv
- Friendly index.php - Example: http://awesome.host/index.php/store/ssl-certificates/dv
- Basic URLs - Example: http://awesome.host/index.php?rp=/store/ssl-certificates/dv
A description of the system requirements of the different options is located on the full Friendly URLs documentation page.
To re-check your environment and reset to the recommended system detected setting, click the small square button of the circular arrow icon.
An Advanced Settings option is also available to further customise how this feature behaves and is described in detail on the on the full Friendly URLs documentation page. We only recommend changing the advanced settings if you are confident maintaining your own mod_rewrite rules.
