So I decided to look into it a little bit further.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I have found this&#8230;a message that said something like this &#8220;Automatic setup failed. Because whmcs tried to apply reseller privileges to a package which is already with such privileges&#8221;. Anyway, this message was disorienting, because reseller privileges had not applied.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After a few minutes, I realized that whmcs is trying to set up reseller privileges twice. Basically, I am trying to set up a Master\/Alpha reseller package.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So I set it up as a reseller account in whmcs and included the package I have created to the Zamfoo auto grant feature. The final result is that whmcs is setting up a reseller account, but Zamfoo is also setting up a reseller account as I auto-granted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In return, my system crashed as it was trying to set up a reseller package twice. Yeah this sound idiotic, but it&#8217;s true. That is the reason I thought to investigate more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Anyway, I have got the following solution&#8230;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set up the package as a standard hosting package in whmcs. Note: select to send the reseller account welcome email rather than the hosting account welcome email, and then auto grant the package created in whm reseller privileges.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this way, whmcs will set up a standard hosting package, and then Zamfoo will automatically promote it to the reseller package. So one reseller account will created rather than two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It says \u201cautomatic set up successful\u201d. Zamfoo master\/alpha reseller packages are now auto setup in whmcs, and all whm and master\/alpha reseller privileges have auto-granted. The end result, everything works fine&#8230;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Conclusion: Remember to set up the Zamfoo package as a standard hosting package instead of a reseller package in whmcs. As zamfoo will take care of dedicating the reseller privileges.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes after creating Zamfoo packages with whmcs; users receive the email message constantly from the whmcs system \u201cautomatic set up failed\u201d.
