# Update

In this article, you will find out how to successfully update Lagom WHMCS Website Builder (opens new window). We will guide you step by step through the whole update process.

# Product Requirements

Below is a list of requirements for latest product version, make sure that your server meets all below requirements, BEFORE you start update process:

  1. Requires IonCube Loader 10.x and later.
  2. Supports PHP 7.2.x and later.
  3. Supports WHMCS 8.7.x and later.
  4. Supports Apache and Litespeed* servers.
  5. Required PHP modules:
  6. Requires Modrewirte (opens new window) to be enabled on your server.
  7. Requires max_input_vars to be set to at least 5000.

IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to increase the "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) setting to a minimum of 300 seconds during the installation or update of this product. Once the installation or upgrade process is complete, you can reset the server timeout to its default value.

During the initial activation of our product, the addon creates all necessary databases and loads the required configuration. If this process is interrupted due to insufficient "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) duration, our addon may not function correctly or may not work at all. This could result in missing features or errors related to missing databases on your WHMCS pages.

If the server interrupts the addon activation, you may need to deactivate the RS Themes addon using the "Clear Database Records" option and then activate it again. However, it is strongly recommended to increase the "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) setting before performing this action.
