I don't think the port matters. If it did, it would have been mentioned in the documentation or on the developers site. As far as I know, kACARS uses the site URL to connect. And since you have issues getting all ACARS clients (kACARS and several other reporting systems) to connect, the issue is with your site.

What version of phpVMS? What version of PHP? Have you turned on error reporting? Any errors in the error log? Using Google Maps or another map provider? Have you attempted to connect with one of the free PIREP programs to rule out an issue with SmartCARS? Have you reverted back to HTTP to see if HTTPS might be the issue?

Thanks! Looking forward to your progress on this skin.

Is this for phpVMS version 7 or for one of the "Classic" versions (2.x or 5.5.2)?

Is this the payware version of kACARSI or kACARSII? If so, best to contact the developer through his website forums - http://forum.fs-products.net/

phpVMS version 7 is still in development and it's advised not to use it in a production/live site. Install phpVMS version 2 - https://github.com/nabeelio/phpvms_v2 -- OR -- phpVMS version 5.5.2 - https://github.com/DavidJClark/phpvms_5.5.x Either can be uploaded to your site using FileZilla or another FTP client.

kACARS Free module appears to be installed (I checked via the pilot account you PM'd me). I will try connecting my kACARS Free client tomorrow when I have access to my FS computer. I believe the error for kACARS you posted above referencing denied access to the send.xml file means that Windows isn't allowing access to that file. Ensure the exe file is set to Run as Administrator. Actually, I would totally uninstall kacars free one more time. Then install to your Documents folder and set the exe to Run as Administrator. If that doesn't work, I suggest you post the issue in the kACARS forum here on site and the developer should be able to further assist you. Let us know the outcome.

Did you just move the files to a new location, or did you uninstall from Program Files (x86) and then reinstall to the new location? And what is this new location? phpVMS version? PM me user access - just a regular pilot ID and password - and I'll have a look.

Are you running kACARS as administrator? Is the module installed on your site correctly? Additionally, have a look in the dedicated kACARS_Free forum here on the site: https://forum.phpvms.net/forum/44-kacars/

For kACARS_Free - are you running the client as administrator? Personally, I wouldn't install the client to the "Program Files (x86)" folder. You would be better served installing the client to the documents folder.

Or you could just go through your files and change any "http://..." lines to "https://". Pretty easy when using the find/replace in Notepad++.

We would need to see the actual error to assist you further. Start with kACARS_Free and post the actual error or take a screenshot and post it. Probably best to pick one ACARS and stick with it. We have used kACARS_Free for several years (and now the payware kACARSII) as it provides what we need. We do have XACARS available - but only for pilots using X-Plane on a MAC computer.

Yes, something is wrong with your install and/or website. What are the specific errors for each of the ACARS programs you tried? Be specific and list the errors here. Are you on paid or free hosting?

What skin are you attempting to use? Version 2.x uses .tpl files in the skins folder. Version 5.5.2 uses .php files in the skins folder. If using a skin for a version you aren't using, you may have to convert the file content and file name to refer to the correct file extension (for instance - change all references of tpl to php). A few of the "crew center" type skins contain files for either version. If you have it installed and working with the default skin, you're half way there. Don't forget, any files in /core/templates that you modify should be placed in the .../skins/<name of skin>/ folder - but check to make sure there isn't a file of that name there already (if there is, use that file to modify for your needs instead of the one in the /core/templates folder. EDIT - I see you posted in the iCrew Lite thread. If that's the skin you want to use, best to contact the developer directly through that thread.

Here's a link to version 5.5.2 that I have installed https://github.com/DavidJClark/phpvms_5.5.x The version that I linked to previously should work in php 5.6 also.

Try this download of phpVMS. It's supposed to work with newer versions of php. It says phpVMS 5.0 Classic, but the download is an updated version 2. phpVMS 5.5.2 works with some versions of php 5. My site is presently using this version of phpVMS and php 5.6.18 What versions of php will your Wordpress work with?

phpVMS version 7 is still in development and probably shouldn't be used for a live site. I'd recommend you use version 2.x or version 5.5.2 for now. Using version 7 on a live site is just asking for trouble - wait to upgrade until after it's released.

Did any of the tables in the database populate? /home/anthroai/public_html/Crew/phpvms/core/classes/ezdb/ezdb_mysql.class.php on line 98 Here's my line 98 $this->dbh = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword, true); The function is trying to connect to MySQL - but not a database. It's possible that it's not able to access your MySQL - maybe something to due with your hosting settings??

Free or paid hosting? Did you set up the database first?

Glad you got it working

With my host, there is a menu item in CPanel under Advanced called Cron jobs. This is where you would set up the cron job. The command to enter there is the one in your first post --- php -f /home/canadaai/public_html/admin/maintenance.php In local.config.php you have to have Config::Set('USE_CRON', true); That should work - but you will have to find how to enter the cron job with your host if you don't have CPanel access

If all times are already in UTC, there is no need to change the times. UTC stays the same year round and is not predicated on summer/winter time changes.

You probably haven't received a response because VA owners are using customized skins for their phpVMS install - and each skin would likely include different options. So having a basic video to help your pilots navigate your site would be something you would need to put together yourself - and be based on the skin you are using. Are you using an automated ACARS system to allow your pilots to log their flights? Site navigation should be pretty easy and most members will figure it out quickly.

VACentral - where the look up data was located - has been down for quite some time. No telling when it will be back. My guess is it won't be available until sometime after phpVMS 7 is released. As I mentioned, Skyvector or maybe one of the other aviation sites is the easiest place to look up lat/long for now. The geonames.org server is still available, but now you have to pay to access the data there.

The airport look up server is unavailable at this time. You can look up the lat/long at sites like Skyvector and enter them manually.
