Connection test
On the last step, BILLmanager tries to connect to the registrar with the data you have specified.
If connection ends up with the error: Cannot connect to the processing module, we recommend to check that:
- connection data is correct;
- The URL address of the registrar is accessible from the server with BILLmanager;
- you can execute API calls from the IP address of BILLmanager from your account in the registrar system.
