Can you provide the link to 5.5.2 you got from iCrew? As far as I know, there is only one official 5.5.2 download on github. When installing 5.5.2, you must choose MySQLi (Extended) as the database type when using PHP 5.6 and MariaDB 10.1/MySQL 5.6 Maybe your initial download had a corrupt file? The good news is all is fine now.

phpVMS 5.5.2 will work with MariaDB 10.1 I suggest you install under PHP5.6 with MariaDB 10.1 phpVMS 5.5.2 will not install correctly under MariaDB 10.2 The Simpilot version of phpVMS is 5.5.x or 5.5.2 - there is no phpVMS 5.5

You shouldn't need the 'public_html' in the path What exactly are you attempting to do?

You are replying to a topic that is over 9 years old - and the OP hasn't been on this site in almost 9 years. Please try to keep your issue in one topic.

As I suggested in my previous post.....

There is no phpVMS 5.4 phpVMS versions phpVMS 2.x - legacy version - php 4 phpVMS 5.5.2 - simpilot version - php 5.2-5.6 phpVMS v2 - legacy version (sometimes wrongly called version 5) - php 7 phpVMS 5.5.2.72 - phpVMS 5.5.2 updated to work with php 7.0-7.2 phpVMS 7 - not released yet - php 7.2 and above

If you are on php 5.6.40, chances are you are using phpVMS version 5.5.2 or the updated phpVMS version 2 (sometimes referred to as phpVMS 5). In any case, go to your admin panel in phpVMS and look in the lower right corner and you should see the version number. As for the "Non-static method" - you will see this quite often if a module has not been updated in a while. Do a forum search for "Non-static method" (with the quotes) and you will find lots of posts with solutions. Basically, if the particular line you referenced above (.../core/modules/kACARS_Chat/kACARS_Chat.php on line 51) starts with 'public function', change it to 'public static function' and save the file. That usually will fix it. If that doesn't do it, contact me via PM (as kACARS and it's chat module are payware) and maybe I can assist you.

Did you clear your browser cache or try in a different browser?

Sounds like your host has php 7.2 available. Instead of using phpVMS 7, I would suggest phpVMS 5.5.2.72 (as that version works with php 7.2 also). Lots of skins and modules available that work with phpVMS 5.5.2.72 (some may need a few tweaks for full compatibility. As I indicated, phpVMS 7 is still in beta testing. It shouldn't be used for a live/production site quite yet. But if you want to use it, no one is stopping you. Best of luck with your VA.

phpVMS v7 is still in development and probably shouldn't be used for a live site. Additionally, it may be a while before addon skins or modules are released. I would suggest you use phpVMS 5.5.2 (Simpilot version) if your site supports PHP 5.4-5.6 or phpVMS 5.5.2.72 if your site supports PHP 7.0-7.2 . See this forum for additional info: https://forum.phpvms.net/forum/25-support-forum/

Just to play devils advocate... so if the pilot adds miles they didn't actually fly (fudging the mileage) or takes an extra long, out of the way routing they will get a larger reward? Sounds kind of unfair for those who choose to play by the rules. If point A to point B is shown as a specific mileage, everyone should get the exact same credit for that particular flight. Hmm, in my mind, a pilot who goes out of their way to add mileage or extend their routing should probably be penalized - extra fuel, extra wear & tear on the engines/airframe - virtually of course. But, everyone has the right to run their VA however they wish. Good luck with editing your files and database!

The current distance is based on the lat/lng of the dep/arr airports. If the lat/lng data entered into the database is correct, the system will compute the great circle distance between the two airports. The distance shown is an estimate of the distance to be flown. Why would you want pilots to input a distance? The distance the pilot actually flew over the (virtual) ground will almost always be greater than the distance shown. And allowing pilots to input distances will lead to more errors down the line (each pilot flying from point A to point B will show a different distance). Are you using an automated flight reporting system? There are several freely available - along with some payware ones that will include additional details about the flight. You could always add a field to the manual PIREP form and also add a field to the pireps table to log that data there. You will also need to add some coding to make all that magic happen.

Go to the Google link inmy last post. You can register for an API key there. Youwill need toprovide credit card info, but they give you a $200 credit every month toward API usage. I have never used over $20 of that credit. Your other option is to convert to OSM/Leaflet maps. There is a sticky post in this forum. EDIT - here you go...

How about in the error_log file in the root of phpvms or in /admin? If there isn't an error_log file in either place, you may have to turn error reporting on thru your hosting panel. The only reason I jumped in here is I am the one who put version 5.5.2.72 together - and some addon modules will show an error under php 7.2 that may need to be fixed.

Are there any errors in the browser console or in the error_log file related to this module? The module is untested in phpVMS 5.5.2.72 - but it should work. Let us know of any errors.

Most likely you are not using the correct URL in cACARS to connect with your site. What is the URL of your site and what is the URL you entered in cACARS? Have you attempted to post to the Crazy Creatives forum for a solution? When you say you are using phpVMS 5, I am guessing phpVMS 5.5.2 - is that correct? What PHP version are you using?

You may not necessarily need the '&callback=initialize' part. I suggest you check your browser console for any errors. I would suggest adding https: to the line PSD suggested above. Here is the code from version 5.5.2.72 - key goes where YOUR_API_KEY_HERE is. <!-- * Add Google Maps API key to next line. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key --> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"></script>

The second link in my post above works with PHP 7.0-7.2. There is no phpVMS version 5. There is only 5.5.2 and 5.5.2.72 - and either will support smartCARS. No idea about a migration tool.

I would bet you didn't install all of the dependencies. Do you have SSH access on your server? See this section: http://docs.phpvms.net/setup/installation Are you aware that phpVMS v7 isn't released yet and shouldn't be used on a live/production server? BTW - you posted in phpVMS Classic section - this belongs in phpVMS 7 section.... so don't be surprised if a Moderator moves it.

Did you follow the instructions here? http://docs.phpvms.net/

Well now it sounds like you are leaning toward converting from VAFS to phpVMS 5.5.2. What version of PHP does your host support? For PHP 5 see here: https://github.com/DavidJClark/phpvms_5.5.x For PHP 7.0 - 7.2 see here: https://github.com/ProAviaAZ/phpvms_5.5.2.72 Both of these are basically identical, except for the PHP version they work under. For either, look in /install/sql/structure.xml for the DB table structure. phpVMS v7 database is totally different than phpVMS v 5.5.2 - and presently, there is no migration tool to convert between the two versions.

It shouldn't affect PIREPS - but there are so many interconnected bits and pieces, there is no telling what else may be affected. Also no telling how it may affect addon modules and their functionality.

But you will loose the ability to update the schedules. And if you just delete the schedules to upload a full set again, if the DB is set to auto-increment the record number (which is the usual default), all your old data will be screwed up. For example - you upload 100 routes to a blank schedules table, so record number 1-100. Now, since you can't update any longer, you delete the old schedules and add the new/updated ones back. The record number will start with 101 - so any data stored in other tables referencing the record numbers of the previous schedules won't be able to locate that data cause you deleted it. Seems way more trouble than it's worth - unless you want to manually edit the DB directly.

You can import flights - schedules - thru the admin panel. There is no facility in the admin to import PIREPS or pilots. You should be able to export your PIREPS from your present database using phpMyAdmin. You would then convert that export to the format used for phpVMS v7 and import that into the phpVMS database using phpMyAdmin. Be advised, there may be some fields present in your current database that aren't in phpVMS. Likewise, phpVMS may have some fields that your current software doesn't have. In any case, you will have to convert most all of your database tables as the format most likely will not match that of phpVMS.

Exactly!!
