Full OnApp 2.1RC4 module hotfix
HostBill users recently reported issue with OnApp 2.1RC4 module.
Problem:
When creating billing plan using API it’s not possible to create machine as a client, as OnApp throws HTTP500 + bad response error.
Solution:
We’ve created patch for OnApp Full-Featured module 2.1. To apply it please download your copy of module again from our client area, and extract archive contents in main HostBill directory.
Patch drawbacks:
This patch hard-codes clients’ cpu-shares to unlimited (it’s not setting cpu-shares limit in OnApp), and for new machines created from HostBill client area it sets cpu-share to 1, despite of slider settings.
Please note:
This is temporary patch, once OnApp will fix this bug with next RC/Stable version we will upload regular version of module with working CPU-Shares limit.
Coming soon: Dedicated Server & VPS Order Pages!
We’ve prepared two new order pages coming in the next release:
- Dedicated Server order page
You can sell dedicated servers with our new order page. Customers can adjust:
CPU, RAM, Storage, Traffic, Network Settings, Software Settings, Remote Reboots and much more.
- VPS Hosting order page
New version of popular slider has been added to next version.
