WHMCS : CURL Error: 7 - couldn't connect to host

Setup > General settings > Security > API IP Access Restriction

I added both the IP's to the list. The main IP for the reseller account 10.10.10.10 was to be added onto the API list.

http://docs.whmcs.com/ResellerClub#CURL_Error:_7_-_couldn.27t_connect_to_host

However, this did not fix the issue.

The second fix was to check the settings for the server.

Setup > Products & Services > Servers > "Select the server" and click on edit settings button

Check whether all the settings are entered correctly and also check the settings for Secure access.

Check "Enable ssl mode for all connections"

This fixed the issue.

wrong server load

Recently for the CloudLinux installed server the server load is shown wrongly

for example :

load average: 2136406556.03, 2136819086.23,

This is a known bug in lve0.8.36 kernel where it reports such numbers and the way it handles load on scripts that are seemingly using large I/O. This is corrected with the command `sysctl -w abi.vsyscall32=0`.

OR

sysctl -w kernel.full_loadavg=0

Where previously the variable by default is 1. But this will take some weeks to set the normal load value on your server.But as per the CloudLinux we can fix the issue by update kernel to newer version that is available via:

# yum update kernel
Do it your own risk :)

That is reboot into newer kernel (lve0.8.44).

Thank you,
