===IP Registration===
+
=== Additional Registrar Module Files Requirement ===
* OpenSRS's API is IP restricted.
 
* Therefore to use the OpenSRS API, you must first access the OpenSRS Reseller Web Interface using your OpenSRS username and password, and then access the “Add IPs for Script/API Access” link.
 
* The IP address that needs to be set up is the one that your WHMCS instance will be seen as from the world wide web.
 
  
===Requirements===
+
If your server does not include all of the required third-party classes, you must [https://www.whmcs.com/members/dl.php?type=d&id=29 download the necessary files] and upload them to the <tt>/modules/registrars/opensrs/</tt> directory.
OpenSRS requires some third party classes such as PEAR in order to work and it’s likely that the module will fail to operate entirely without these files.  The files can be obtained using the following link and need to be unzipped and the contents uploaded into the /modules/registrars/opensrs/ folder.

Finally, domain pricing needs to be configured within WHMCS.  Please see the  [[Domains Management]] page for additional help on doing that.

WHMCS allows you to set up automatic domain registration on a per-extension basis, enabling you to use different registrars for different TLDs.

To enable automatic registration, see [[Domain Pricing]].

This module supports automatic domain synchronization for syncing expiry dates and status changes for incoming transfers.

=== Domain Already Renewed ===
'''Blank Response or Connection Error Message'''<br>
 
This is commonly caused by the port numbers that the OpenSRS API operates on being blocked by your server's firewall.  The ports used in communication to the API are 55443 and 55000 so need to be opened for both inbound and outbound connections.

'''Domain Already Renewed'''<br>
+
=== Order xxxxxxx is not a pending, declined or cancelled order and cannot be processed ===
Seeing this error when attempting to renew a domain is caused by an invalid or incorrect Expiry Date value under the client's Domains tab. Correcting this value will enable the domain to be renewed.
 
  
'''Order xxxxxxx is not a pending, declined or cancelled order and cannot be processed'''<br>
+
The system still registers the domain name when this error occurs. To stop the error, set '''Process Immediately''' to '''Off''' in your OpenSRS account.
The domain name will still be registered, but changing the "Process Immediately" setting in your OpenSRS account to "Off" will stop this error occurring.

  9. Configure and fund your OpenSRS reseller account. For more information, see OpenSRS's documentation.

Test Mode

You can use test mode to simulate domain registration and management function without registering a domain or incurring charges. This can be useful to test WHMCS configurations.

Additional Registrar Module Files Requirement

If your server does not include all of the required third-party classes, you must download the necessary files and upload them to the /modules/registrars/opensrs/ directory.

Automatic Registration

WHMCS allows you to set up automatic domain registration on a per-extension basis, enabling you to use different registrars for different TLDs.

To enable automatic registration, see Domain Pricing.

Automatic Domain Synchronization

This module supports automatic domain synchronization for syncing expiry dates and status changes for incoming transfers.

To use this, enable Domain Sync Enabled and configure the domain sync task at Configuration () > System Settings > Automation Settings or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Automation Settings.

Troubleshooting

Blank Response or Connection Error Message

This usually indicates that the OpenSRS API port numbers (55443 and 55000) are blocked by your server's firewall and you must open them for outbound connections.

Partially Loaded Page (Blank or Lost Formatting)

The OpenSRS module requires additional files.

Download these files and then upload them to the /modules/registrars/opensrs/ folder.
For more information, see OpenSRS Activation.

Domain Already Renewed

This indicates that the Expiry Date value in the client's Domains tab is invalid or incorrect. Correcting this value allows domain renewal.

Order xxxxxxx is not a pending, declined or cancelled order and cannot be processed

The system still registers the domain name when this error occurs. To stop the error, set Process Immediately to Off in your OpenSRS account.
