Hi all, phpVMS Hosting is now available - it's going to be through my other site, called 'fivedev': http://www.fivedev.net/hosting I've spent alot of time tuning this server, and I've set a cap on clients, then I will buy another, to keep it speedy for everyone who's on there. It's in Washington DC, with low pings to everyone. I've priced two plans: Standard - 15GB Space, 50GB Bandwidth $10/monthly, or $100/year £6.68/monthly, or £66.77/year €7.42/monthly, or €74.23/year [*]Mini - 8GB Space, 25GB Bandwidth $7/monthly, or $84/year £4.67/monthly, or £56.08/year €5.20/monthly, or €62.36/year While it might not be "unlimited" as some hosts have (…

You can now purchase a license to be allowed to remove the "powered by phpVMS" from your site. It's a one-time, $45 fee, which applies towards one VA. The link to the cart is here.

Hey, A few critical patches in this one, run the update.php I had stopped manually doing patches, and replaced it with a build script (automatically checking versions, patching files, and just using test-cases), leaving bugs in there for the last update. There were a few database changes as well, so this was not completely checked in the auto build. The first releases were tight in how they handled data, but now with all your feedback, that needs to be loosened a bit, so it's just going through growing pains... Stay tuned this week and next since I'm issuing patches fairly quickly with bug fixes as soon as I find them. There's going to be quite a bit more Q&A from …

It's been going under heavy testing, and all the issues from past have been fixed. * Added page encoding option * Added option for changing pilot ID length * Added option to change signature text color * Admin can edit PIREPS * Some admin reports added (more to come) * FSACARS bug fixes - follow the instructions in the docs * Admin panel styles cleaned up * Bug fixes (alot of em!) Some notes : If a PIREP is not showing up, or the aircraft is blank, edit the pirep to include the aircraft. Because of the switch to registration numbers, some PIREPs did not "cross over" to include them. …

Hi all, I've updated the download to 2.1.936 - basically to null the file where I believe the exploit is coming from. I looked through the other files, and I think they look OK. Please update as soon as possible - really the only updated file was core/lib/php-ofc-library/ofc_upload_image.php. Instead of deleting it, I patched it, so then it will get patched on an upload. Sorry for all the trouble guys! Please be sure to look through your server and account very carefully - if you see something suspicious, delete it, or rename it to add a .txt extension so it can't be found, until you can verify if the file is safe or not. Thanks!

This is the changelog for the next update. I've decided to post it now since it's basically "feature complete", except for a few minor things. It'll be in "testing mode" for the next couple weeks or so, I'm aiming to release at the end of January, if there are no major "blockers". I don't think I missed anything but it'll be revised when it's released. Enjoy! - Changelog updated changelog.htm

There's an option in local.config.php to now notify about beta updates. See this docs topic: http://docs.phpvms.net/installation#beta_versions This is working from the release version.

The forum was hacked just after a DDOS attack on the server Saturday night and I thought the database had just been deleted which I restored from a backup from June 28th. What I did not realize that in the process of destroying the forum database the InnoDB engine on the mySql server was corrupted as well, which in turn corrupted almost every InnoDB table on the server. Drive volumes were also damaged in the attack. With so many sites experiencing issues with database corruption I had no choice today but to rebuild the MySql server and restore all databases from the June 28th backup. This includes the forum and VACentral. Any data that was recorded between June 28th and …

I have had a few emails in regards to members profiles being deleted and hope this explains the why and how; there was over 33,000 users in the database, the vast majority were spam signups and it was just weighing on the speed of the forum. I deleted all the users that never posted anything in the forum, and that had no login activity on the site since January 1st, 2014. Meeting one condition or the other kept your profile in the system. No one that ever posted on the site was deleted and if you had logged in since January 1st, 2015 your profile was not deleted. I am sorry if you did not meet these conditions and now noticed your profile gone, but never posting and not …

Hey everyone, This past week's release has been bad. Tons of bugs cropping up, and it will be fixed by this weekend, most of them are fixed right now... just doing rigorous testing on it. I've setup 3 test areas that they move through. The reason for it was a problem with the place my code is stored. The server was corrupted, and my newer code ended up being replaced by some older code. I though I had fixed all the problems, but my automated build tools did not have test units for some of the basic functions, which were also reverted to older versions. My build tools are supposed to update my main testing server. They did not, so I didn't notice most of the issues which…

I'm slowly moving the documentation and updating it to the new tab called "Resources" on top. IPB has an add-in called IP-Content, which rocks in how it can be customized. I like having one system for everything, and with this I can start condensing everything into one more manageable system (rather than the now 3 separate pieces of software setup), and this is what I was looking to do for the docs anyway. Especially now there are comments allowed, so everyone can pitch in their two cents I need some docs written, mainly on sections in the admin panel. So if you consider yourself an 'expert' in some part, it would be great if you can write up an article. I'm creating al…

Hi all, phpVMS and vaCentral will be down tonight, around 8pm EST, for upto 2 hours, for a migration to a different datacenter. This will hopefully allow live fuel prices to resume, and improve connection speeds for everyone. Edit: Migration has been completed Thanks

I've made the decision that as of 2.1, FSACARS won't be supported anymore. The connector and code will still be there and working, but there are just too many issues to continue wasting time on kludging it to work. The client has not been in development for years. However, there is a free alternative - kACARS. It's an excellent ACARS app, very stable, and in active development. phpVMS 2.1 will include the ACARS connector piece, so all you have to download is the client. You can view the kACARS thread here, the documentation here. Thanks!

Hi everyone, The forums, as you can see, have been upgraded to IPBoard. I will skin it soon, but for now it will stay on the default skin, until I can work all the little kinks out. All your posts, etc should be intact. Your old password also should just work. Thanks!

I was planning on keeping this under wraps, but the first few flights using FSPassengers have been logged ;D So...I am proud to announce that phpVMS will have official FSPassengers support in this next update! Same as FSACARS, just download a config file and drop it in. FSPassengers (for both FS9 and the new FSX version) supports exporting your pilot reports to a VA, and using phpVMS, this makes its easy for both you as admins, and for your pilots. The only downside is that there are no status updates, but hopefully that will be something added in the future, to dot track your flight along on the ACARS map. Along with basic financials, this next update will be an exci…

I will be offering VA hosting shortly, along with nav-data updates with the upcoming 2.1 release. Pricing hasn't been decided yet, but the web-hosting will be completely certified to run with phpVMS, including support for the new phpVMS maintenance cron files, FTP support, and any other pieces which are required for phpVMS to work - including command line access, and access to tools such as mysql and git on the command line. It will include scripts to install phpVMS directly from the command line, using git (which the move to was just completed). I don't have a timeline yet, but it will be sometime soon, I'm in the process of setting things up. Navdata updates will also…

Hi everyone, Without any notification or warning, my live fuel price provider has blocked me from getting updated fuel prices. This really affects US airports, so for now, live pricing will not be available for now, until I work out and figure out exactly what's going on - sorry all. I've changed the API to refer to the last updated fuel price, so they may be off (they were updated last week). I will be adding an airport import/export so that fuel prices can be updated en-masse, as with schedules. This will be available soon. Again, my apologies Nabeel

As I'm sure many of you have noticed, phpVMS has been without a logo, due to my lack of artistic skills. I know many of you are creatively skilled... so I though it'd be nice to have a competition going... Requirements? None really. Just a super high res copy with layers in either Photoshop or Fireworks. It can include the phpVMS text (shown in the header). A modern look, "Web 2.0"-ey (I'm sure you know where to get inspiration). Then we can vote (or I'll decide, depends ). Something orangy/blue, that goes with the theme of the site. I figure about two weeks is a decent time to run the competition. Winning gets your name in the about for credit, and a free copy of.....…
