Backup and restore ​

PayGlocal has no built-in backup system. Protect your deployment using standard WHMCS procedures: back up your database, module files, and RSA .pem keys before maintenance.

Back up before every update ​

Because a manual update overwrites files directly, always take a backup first. Capture:

  • WHMCS database backup: Stores gateway configuration (License Key, Merchant ID, key paths, KIDs, mode), stored recurring mandates (mod_payglocalrecurring_mandates), and transaction records via your standard backup routine.
  • The gateway files you're about to overwrite:
    • modules/gateways/payglocal.php
    • modules/gateways/payglocalrecurring.php
    • modules/gateways/payglocal/ (the whole directory)
    • modules/gateways/callback/payglocal.php
    • modules/gateways/callback/payglocalrecurring.php
    • includes/hooks/payglocalrecurring_cron.php
  • A copy of your RSA .pem keys — the merchant private key and the PayGlocal public key, with a note of their paths and KIDs.

Don't casually regenerate your RSA keys

Your merchant private key and its KID are tied to your PayGlocal account. Regenerating keys in the GCC dashboard invalidates the old pair — only do it deliberately, and update the gateway settings to match. A backup copy means you never lose a working key.

Where backups are stored ​

  • Database location: Follows your WHMCS or hosting backup schedule. Keep an off-server copy.
  • Key storage: Keep .pem backups outside the web root with chmod 640 permissions.

Rolling back ​

To return to a previous working state after a bad update or server change:

  1. Restore module files: Re-upload previous release files to modules/, overwriting current files.
  2. Restore .pem keys: Place key files back into their configured server paths if modified.
  3. Restore database: Roll back the WHMCS database backup if gateway settings were altered.
  4. Validate: In Setup → Payment Gateways → PayGlocal, verify settings, click Save Changes, and run a sandbox test payment.
