5. About This Product
Parallels Plesk Billing is an ordering, billing, and provisioning automation solution aimed at
small-to-mid-level hosting providers. Parallels Plesk Billing comes in two different
distributions: Standalone and Bundle (with Parallels Plesk Panel).
The software package comes bundled with an intuitive order process, complete with
“shopping cart,” allowing your customers to build an order of any size or complexity with a
single checkout (as opposed to the customer having to run through your order form multiple
times if they want multiple items).
Upon checkout, Parallels Plesk Billing supports your customers paying in a variety of ways
including:
credit card (through strong integrations between Parallels Plesk Billing and many
merchant gateways)
third-party gateway (such as PayPal, WorldPay, etc.)
other manual options such as check, bank draft, and simply issuing an invoice.
Each of these payment options can be enabled/disabled and configured according to your
company‟s specific business practices.
Parallels Plesk Billing can provision the following:
Any domain name package can be automatically registered through any of the resellers
with whichParallels Plesk Billing integrates (such as eNom, OpenSRS, etc.).
Any hosting package can be automatically provisioned through any of the panels with
which Parallels Plesk Billing integrates (such as Plesk, cPanel etc.).
Any SSL Certificate can be automatically provisioned through the SSLFactory.com API
(provided you have a a Parallels SSLFactory reseller account).
Any virtual private server package can be automatically provisioned through Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers.
Customers will receive notification upon completed provisioning, as well as any
passwords, etc. that are related to the customer accessing/using their purchased service.
Each of these provisioning options can be configured in Parallels Plesk Billing administrator
panel according to your company‟s specific business practices.
The total time it takes for the customer to be fraud checked, charged, and their services
turned on can be as little as a few minutes. The entire idea here is to save as much time as
possible so that your company‟s team can focus on more important things than manually
setting up client accounts.
The automation does not stop once a customer has paid and had their order setup.Parallels
Plesk Billing is fully customizable and can be configured to automatically generate invoices
and collect payment from customers when needed, send out late notices when customers do
not pay on time, and even suspend a customer‟s hosting package after they have neglected
to pay long enough.
6. Parallels Plesk Billing can even renew domains at your registrar as soon as your clients pay
the invoice. Clients can “upgrade” or “downgrade” their services from the client interface and
not only have the changes automatically provisioned out to the panel, but also receive a pro-
rated credit/debit for the difference in monthly price and begin receiving invoices for the
package they upgraded or downgraded to.

chapter.
18. CHAPTER 7
Updating Standalone Parallels Plesk
Billing
This chapter talks about upgrading Parallels Plesk Billing 5.0.5 and higher to the latest
version. If your Parallels Plesk Billing is 5.0.4 and older, contact our support team
regarding the update.
It is highly recommended that you have Shell access to your server in order to update
Parallels Plesk Billing. Thus, you have full control over the settings in your environment
and your sensitive customer data is kept separate from other sites.
In this chapter:

Running Update ................................................................................................ 20
19. Updating Standalone Parallels Plesk Billing 19
Backing Up Database
Before updating Parallels Plesk Billing, create a backup of all data (both fileset and
database). If you installed the product to the “plesk-billing” directory, the directory
structure will be “plesk-billing/admin”, “plesk-billing/lib-billing” and
so on.
1 Move your fileset to a new location to back it up:
# mv plesk-billing plesk-billing.bak
2 To find your MySQL username and password to access your
database, go to the config.php file from your existing installation
and run:
# cat plesk-billing.bak/lib-billing/include/config/config.php
| grep db
You will see user MySQL data on your screen:
$CONF[“dbType”] = “mysql”;
$CONF[“dbHost”] = “localhost”;
$CONF[“dbName”] = “ppbtest”; (you should see your own MySQL DB name)
$CONF[“dbUser”] = “dbuser”; (you should see your own MySQL username)
$CONF[“dbPass”] = “password”; (you should see your own MySQL password)
3 Using this information, create a backup copy of the database with the
following command:
Note: Make sure that the character set is UTF-8. To do that, use the argument—
default-character-set=utf8
# mysqldump—default-character-set=utf8 -u’dbuser’ -p’password’
-h’localhost’ ppbtest | gzip > ppbtest_backup.sql.gz
where ppbtest_backup.sql.gz file is the database backup copy.
20. 20 Updating Standalone Parallels Plesk Billing
Running Update
To update Parallels Plesk Billing via SSH access:
1 Go to the web-accessible folder on your server:
cd /var/www/mycompany.com/httpdocs
2 Download the latest Parallels Plesk Billing Standalone 6.0 fileset in
your encoder from http://www.parallels.com/download/billing/.
3 Untar the fileset.
Use special parameters to preserve the file permissions set on the files/folders
inside. It is important as the permissions are set properly on the “tmp” folder inside
for it to be world readable and writable. The “plesk-billing” folder will be
created in your web-accessible folder.
# tar -xvzpf pleskbilling-fileset.tar.gz
4 Copy your config.php file back into place.
This is the only required file you must copy from your old fileset to the new one as it
contains the necessary database connection information.
# cp plesk-billing.bak/lib-billing/include/config/config.php
plesk-billing/lib-billing/include/config/config.php
5 Upgrade Parallels Plesk Billing via Installation Wizard. You may
access it directly (provided you‟re using SSL encryption) at the
following URL:
https://mycompany.com/plesk-billing/admin/install/
Follow the instructions in the Installing Parallels Plesk Billing chapter.
6 When the upgrade wizard is complete, make sure to remove the
install directory before using the product by running the following
command:
# rm -rf plesk-billing/admin/install
7 Change Template (optional)
If you made any changes to the templates in Parallels Plesk Billing, now is the time
to bring the changes over to the new fileset. Do not, under any circumstances,
merely overwrite a particular template file or folder by copying it from the old fileset
to the new fileset. You need to open your new files in a text-editor and merge your
changes back in. Failure to transfer the templates properly will break your Parallels
Plesk Billing if the template file being overwritten had been updated by our
development team between the time your older version and the latest version were
released.
21. CHAPTER 8
Appendix A. Migrating Parallels Plesk
Billing from Standalone to Bundled
Version
If you have a standalone Parallels Plesk Billing version 5.3, 5.6, or 6.0, you can migrate
your billing solution to a version bundled with Parallels Plesk Panel. For this, you have
to run a migration script that converts old database of a standalone version to a
bundled form and switches bundled Parallels Plesk Billing to use old database. In this
document we provide an example procedure of migration in case of migrating from
standalone Parallels Plesk Billing 5.6 to a bundled Parallels Plesk Billing 6.0.
To migrate from standalone to bundled version:
1 Install Plesk 9 with bundled Parallels Plesk Billing 6.0 component.
2 Make sure that from this moment standalone Parallels Plesk Billing
5.6 has no access to its database to avoid simultaneous access of
Parallels Plesk Billing 5.6 and Parallels Plesk Billing 6.0 to the same
database. To do this, you can disable virtual host which serves
Parallels Plesk Billing 5.6 or change database name in its
configuration file.
From this moment your standalone Parallels Plesk Billing is turned off. You can
access your billing solution at the URL for bundled version, for example
https://host.name:8443/plesk-billing/, where host.name is the host
name of your Parallels Plesk Panel server.
3 Run the migration script in your command line with the name of your
old Parallels Plesk Billing 5.6 database specified. For example:
/usr/share/plesk-billing/ppb-migrator.sh -d <your_standalone_plesk_billing_database>
(for Linux)
/usr/local/share/plesk-billing/ppb-migrator.sh -d
<your_standalone_plesk_billing_database> (for FreeBSD)
Note: ppb-migrator.sh migration script creates database dump in the current
directory.
4 Access bundled Parallels Plesk Billing 6.0 via GUI or API. At this
stage, bundled Parallels Plesk Billing 6.0 operates with the old
database updated to version 6.0.
5 You may now remove your standalone Parallels Plesk Billing 5.6
installation.
