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.
