  1. I have an existing install of SimPilots v5.5.2 and flight time is calculating in an interesting way. 

    On the admin panel's homepage the time flown is reported as 00:00:01.460000, I have checked database entries and both flighttime and flighttime_stamp are recording 00.46, 01.00 and 00:46:00, 01:00:00 respectively. Another weird oddity is that pilot pay is only being calculated by the hour. 01:46 is calculated with a total of $20, yet the pilot is being paid an hourly rate of $20. 

    Any guidance is appreciated.

    Thanks,

  2. Shared hosting worked like a charm for me with the new installer, went through a few things and found the following:

    -Cannot edit airline, getting "the code field is required" error, same error when trying to add a new airline.

    -Cannot accept/reject pireps

    -Airport lookup does not seem to work

    -Fleet page is showing errors.

    Hallo,

     

    as I can see, you are using laravel, composer, artisan as a framework for the new phpvms.

    It is also possible to install and use the phpvms system on shared hosting product.

    I assume the most VAs are using shared hosting because of the more affordable price and with this product you will not get a ssh access to the server.

    It is possible to install all necessary php frameworks without ssh login?

    Florian,

    I've got v4 working in its current state on shared hosting. Please be aware that v4 is still being developed and thus changes are likely, Nabeel (phpVMS's developer) has control over this and I know is working hard to make it easy for everyone to use. I do plan on releasing a short tutorial to get phpVMS v4 installed onto shared hosting however a requirement will be SSH access using a terminal such as PuTTY. Many shared hosting providers do provide SSH access (mine for example as a $2.50 one time fee).

    Does this work for weebly sites or any other free hosting sites?

    As servetas said above, paid hosting. Nabeel offers hosting of his own via Fivedev (http://fivedev.net/hosting), probably one of the best ways to support the project.

    There are a select few reputable hosts who actually do offer free shared hosting however you'll be using things like websitepanel instead of cPanel.

  5. You'll need to log into phpmyadmin through your hosting provider, go into the acarsdata table and go to structure, last update needs to be DATETIME default of as defined: 0000-00-00 00:00:00. Save the changes and you should be good to go.

    Thank you,

     I looked at the error log and there is nothing regarding maintenance.php.  All of my phpvms cron jobs are failing on trying to authenticate as user 0.

    Is there a simple test cronjob I can run that would not try to authenticate with phpvms OK, I found a simple cronjob to test (checks if the website is up or down) and it worked fine. It seems phpvms that is throwing the errors, i.e. no user 0 and not my host. 

    Could my .htaccess file be causing problems with cron?

    I can get back with my host. They are a VA based hosting so they generally understand phpvms, but I don't think they realize that simpilot's 5.5.2 is coded for php 5.6.

     

    Thank you,

    -Ken

    Ken,

    Can you run the maintenance.php file from a web browser? If you can't do this, try editing the permissions of the file through cpanel and see if it works that way. A cron job only needs read and execute access if I remember correctly. 

  7. You would have to check with your hosting provider to see if they can have the cron job run as an administrator, too many variable to give you help on a forum as every host has a slightly different hosting platform. 

    I'm very surprised your host knows what phpVMS is but that is a completely different story. 

    Turn error logging on in phpVMS and take a look at phpVMSs log files, it may give you and us a better idea of whats stopping the cron job from running.

    Yeah, it's usually a fee based on weight, but the fee itself is calculated by the airport based on their own traffic and size. Airports that handle larger aircraft themselves have larger costs for maintenance of things like runways and ground equipment, aside from them wanting to make a profit.

    This makes sense. Let me know if you need any assistance on the financial side of the system. I'm not the best programmer but can test and debug.

    Hello everyone hope all is well wanted to mention my hosting website for all people deciding on services for phpVMS. 

    Click here

    We have a few different sized accounts to choose from and many unlimited specifications to the account including emails, subdomains etc...

    I will have a few sales going on this month so keep posted we will also install phpVMS if you would like for us to. 

    Hope to see you soon !

     

    Typically it is regarded as bad form around here to offer hosting when Nabeel has his own which supports the future development of phpvms.

    So how actual airlines work are with aircraft grouped into subfleets. Each subfleet is generally based on types, but maybe 1 subfleet for all CRJ with the stairs, and another subfleet for without. Now, these fares and expenses are attached to a subfleet. So someone can go into as much detail as they want - just a single subfleet for all aircraft, no matter the type, or let's say 10 different subfleets with varying fares and expenses.

    Schedules are also attached to subfleets, so you can dictate that flight from airport X to Y is assigned the subfleet for the CRJ with stairs.

    Ground handling, etc, will be based on a general landing fee, I think. These can also differ by airport, but I think the way I'm going to do it is by some modifier. I haven't thought it through yet, but there might be a few different expense types that you can assign to the subfleet. Landing fees are generally done by weight, and I believe they can include ground handling.

    I'm still trying to figure out the best way for these. It gets pretty complicated very fast :) Maybe a price per 5-tonnes or something at the airport level. I have to see how this is actually charged and handled.

    That makes sense, definitely it seems easier to implement a cost based on subfleet rather than tail number and a lot less work for virtual airline administration. As far as landing fee categories, one way to differentiate airports is via the FAA classification based on the size and traffic the airport sees.

    FAA airport categories

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
     
     

    The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a system for categorizing public-use airports (along with heliports and other aviation bases) that is primarily based on the level of commercial passenger traffic through each facility. It is used to determine if an airport is eligible for funding through the federal government's Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Less than 20% of airports in the U.S. qualify for the program, though most that don't qualify are private-use-only airports.[1]

    At the bottom end are general aviation airports. To qualify for the AIP, they must have at least 10 aircraft based there, but handle fewer than 2,500 scheduled passengers each year. This means that most aircraft are small and are operated by individuals or other private entities, and little or no commercial airline traffic occurs. Nearly three-quarters of AIP-funded airports are of this type.

    Most of the remaining airfields that qualify for funding are commercial service airports, and are more dependent on regularly scheduled commercial airline traffic. This is subcategorized into primary airports, which handle more than 10,000 passengers each year, and nonprimary airports, which handle between 2,500 and 10,000 passengers annually.[2] These categories account for over 15% of AIP-funded airports in the U.S.

    Primary airports are further subcategorized by category and another categories into:[2]

    • Nonhub primary – airports handling over 10,000 but less than 0.05% of the country's annual passenger boardings
    • Small hub primary – airports with 0.05 to 0.25% of the country's annual passenger boardings
    • Medium hub primary – airports handling 0.25 to 1% of the country's annual passenger boardings
    • Large hub primary – airports handling over 1% of the country's annual passenger boardings

    A third major category contains reliever airports, which are essentially large general-aviation airports located in metropolitan areas that serve to offload small aircraft traffic from hub airports in the region. These account for the remaining 10% of AIP-funded airports.

    Under 10,000 still may have commercial service however if I remember correctly from a few of my college classes these are most likely non type 121 airports and utilize the FBO type environment as opposed to a terminal. 

  11. Ensure in your login.php file in phpvms/core/modules/Login/login.php file on line 135 that its redirecting to the index page. Its also possible that your browser is not accepting cookies and not saving the info that tells phpVMS you are logged in.

    Hi, I have an issue when you login to the crew center, on a subdomain, it redirects you to the main page, run by wordpress.... ANY IDEAS ON THIS ISSUE!!!!

    Also make sure your DNS settings are correct, if your using a subdomain as a redirect (crew.url.com redirects to url.com/crew) that also could be causing you issues if not properly configured. Everything in your DNS settings must match what's in the local.config.php file.

    There's sooo much spam coming in haha.

    What type of spam? The one nice thing about ipboard is that the license renewal options are low cost compared to starting over with another payware board. Although I am not familiar with the hosting costs and server demand that the ipboard has.
