You initially posted in the phpVMS v7 Support forum. I moved your post here. Does he have .NET 4.0 installed? Does he have FSUIPC installed for his specific sim version? Is he running kACARS_Free as Admin? Are you able to connect to your site with kACARS_Free? If the above doesn't work, he may have a corrupt .NET install and will need to reinstall. If that doesn't work, maybe try installing .NET 3.5 You indicated you require kACARS_Free 1.0.1.1 (there is no 1.0.11) - is your site using 'http' or 'https'? 'https' requires kACARS_Free 1.0.1.5 and supports FS9, FSX, P3D, MSFS and XP - requires use of FSUIPC or XPUIPC (sim specific)

Relocated to correct forum. kACARS_Free does NOT work in phpVMS v7. It will only work in phpVMS 2.x or 5.x Be sure he has .NET 4.0 installed

Post moved to Paid Services It would help to post more info about exactly what you wish to do. Do you have a current phpVMS install? If so, what version? What version do you want to upgrade to? PHP versions available on your hosting? MySQL or MariaDB version on your host? Who is your host? How much "data" in your present database?

Have you checked the stylesheet - .css files?

phpVMS version? PHP version? MySQL/MariaDB version? What files?

Establish a "throw-away" gmail or yahoo email to use. Then you just abandon it when the project is complete - providing the developer who will continue to support his work a valid direct email address to contact you.

There is not a list that I am aware of. But since you've been around a while, I'm sure you know of a few of the less than stellar ones. In any case, you can always post here asking of others dealings with specific ones.

Best of luck with your project. Keep us all updated on your progress. As I'm sure you are aware - use caution in selecting a developer. There have been reports of "developers" using others work without permission. Whether payware or freeware - all original license terms and attribution requirements must be adhered to. Not following licensing requirements is copyright infringement and theft. Some will steal others payware or freeware work and pawn it off as their own.

Get latest dev from the releases channel on discord I don't have a direct link handy right now

You can not take one file from the latest dev version - mail file in this case - and place it in an outdated install expecting it all to work. Update your site to the latest dev version and start again.

Did you follow the directions in the docs? Configuration, Email

Send verification via PM to developer. It may take a bit for him to get back to you as he is quite busy with real world job.

Join the phpVMS discord using the link in the top menu here in the forum. Then use the discord SEARCH option to find the discussion.

I believe that IVAO changed their API. There was a brief discussion about this in one of the Discord channels.

With phpVMS 5.5.2.72, you will not only continue to have issues with MariaDB 10.3, but will also have issues with most any module you add as they aren't tweaked for PHP versions above 5.6. If you attempt to use the default crystal skin and no addon modules, chances are you won't attract many users either - as the default phpVMS v5.x is quite plain. Many shared hosts will not disable Strict Mode for "security reasons" as the server is shared by other websites in addition to yours. It would still be best to use phpVMS v7 - your installation issues can be easily overcome. Re-read the docs, use the latest v7 dev build (available in the releases channel on discord), use PHP 8.0 and be patient with yourself. Use the v7 guides found here to help set up specific areas of the site.

You will still have issues with MariaDB 10.3 - even with Strict Mode set to off - using phpVMS 5.x. What PHP version? What is your reason for not using phpVMS v7?

PHP version? MySQL/MariaDB version?

Latest v7 dev version can be downloaded from the releases channel on the phpVMS discord. Be sure to read the docs (link in top menu here) and the guides.

Revert back to 'crystal' skin and see if items are there. What crew center skin are you trying to use? If this is for a new VA or from a VA that has been using another front-end (not phpVMS), you need to use phpVMS v7 and not one of the older, unsupported versions.

@LesJar last visit to the forum was May 1, 2022 over 6 months ago. I agree the project is either cancelled or not public.

phpVMS 5.5.2 will work on PHP 5.5 and 5.6. As well, it will work with MySQL 5.6 and/or MariaDB 10.1 Since you are using PHP 7.0.33 and MariaDB 10.5, phpVMS is not going to function correctly. Do to changes in newer versions of PHP and MySQL/MariaDB, phpVMS code doesn't work correctly. While your host may allow use of PHP 5.6, you are tied into the MariaDB version they use. You could use phpVMS 5.5.2.72, which works with PHP 7.0 to 7.2, but it also has issues with MySQL versions above 5.6 and/or MariaDB above 10.1 . However, there are many changes between phpVMS 5.5.2 and 5.5.2.72 which will affect any addon modules you may be using. Why are you not using phpVMS v7?

In .../core/common/ is there a RanksData.class.php file? If so, are both methods defined in that RankData.class.php file? It would be helpful to know: phpVMS version PHP version MySQL/MariaDB version
