Problem

The following error is caused by PHP version upgrade on the server. At the time the extensions were installed, they were encoded for specific version of PHP. Now that it has changed, it can not read the files anymore.

Fatal error: The file /var/www/.....VTEStore/models/Module.php was encoded by the ionCube Encoder for PHP 5.6 and cannot run under PHP 7.1 or later. Please ask the provider of the script to provide a version encoded with the ionCube Encoder for PHP 7.1. in Unknown on line 0

Solution

Here’s how to fix this:

1. Rename all VTE Extension folders in /your_vtiger_folder/modules/. For example, if you have /modules/VTEStore/ you rename VTEStore to VTEStore2, etc... You need to do it for VTE Extensions only.

2. Download extension pack install from: https://www.vtexperts.com/premium/instructions/

3. Install extension pack on your vtiger

4. Upgrade all extensions to latest version. Here's how:https://www.vtexperts.com/helpdesk/vtiger-extension-pack-upgrade-extension/

Problem

While accessing the VTExperts extension pack, users encounter an issue showing cannot connect to the server

Reason

There can be two major reasons because of which the clients CRM is unable to connect with the license panel 1: The license panel's IP is not whitelisted 2: The OpenSSL certificate version of the client CRM is older the 1.0 version

You can also check the version of SSL using the following method

Run:

You see the version "OpenSSL/xxxx" as in screenshot:

If the OpenSSL is old then you need to update it.

To update OpenSSL, run this:

Solution

Tell the client to check the following two things

1: The license panel's IP is whitelisted 2: Check the version of OpenSSL, it should be at least 1.0 version or newer

Issue

Extension Pack redirects user to hatchuck.form.html:

Reason

This behavior is possibly caused by .htaccess with 'mod_rewrite' rule.

• The rule:

The .htaccess file causing this is likely NOT in vtiger folder, but in the parent folder.

Solutions

Solution 1

Edit (Or create new) .htaccess file in Vtiger folder and turn off RewriteEngine.

Add the following:

Solution 2

Modify .htaccess file in the Vtiger Parent Folder and turn off RewriteEngine (as in Solution #1).

• Important: Understand the root cause before considering Solution #2 instead of #1

Now, what is the root cause of this issue?

The issue arises when Vtiger is installed in the WordPress directory.

Based on what we've seen, when using CPanel the yourDomain.com is usually pointing to the public_html e.g

And if WordPress is installed on the yourDomain.com - that folder will have .htaccess automatically generated by WordPress which must include the RewriteEngine configuration.

Now, when you add a subdomain via CPanel, the folder subdomain will usually point to

• Assume yourSubDomain is where Vtiger is installed.

What happens next is, that Vtiger folder (yourSubDomain) may or may not have .htaccess, and if it does - it's likely that it will not have RewriteEngine rule (whatever the rule might be).

In standard CPanel configuration, the .htaccess rules will be inherited by all the subfolders, which in this case includes Vtiger folder.

Here's an example

If Vtiger Folder does NOT have .htaccess file then it will inherit .htaccess rules from the parent folder (WordPress) as if the .htaccess file was in Vtiger Folder.

That means that the sames rules will apply to Vtiger folder (from WordPress folder)

However, if you create .htaccess file in Vtiger Folder - it will no longer inherit from parent/WordPress folder and the Rewrite rule will not apply.

Keep in mind:

• This might also apply to different CMS engines other than WordPress.

• Also, there might not be an actual website in the parent folder, but there might be .htaccess.

• This would also apply if there is a more complicated folder structure e.g:

It's all about the inheritance from the parent folder.
