The PHP and MySQL/MariaDB items should be in cPanel, which is your hosting panel. You need to become very familiar with cPanel and how to access your files and databases thru it. If you can't find it, ask TFDI support to help you. I'm guessing you are on PHP 5.6 as that is the last one to work with phpVMS 5.5.2 Chances are there are some incompatibilities between phpVMS 5.5.2 and versions of MySQL above 5.6.xx and MariaDB above 10.1.

In the admin panel, lower right - what exact phpVMS version? 5.5.2 or 5.5.2.72? PHP version? MySQL/MariaDB version?

phpVMS version? PHP version? MySQL or MariaDB version? Is this for a new VA? If so, advise you use phpVMS v7. Older versions are no longer maintained and with updates to PHP and MySQL/MariaDB the older versions have ongoing issues. As for reCaptcha - did you get the required public and secret keys from Google? Both phpVMS v2.x and 5.x are reCaptcha 2 compatible. I believe phpVMS v7 uses hCaptcha.

If you are using phpVMS v7, post in the v7 forums.

Start by reading thru the docs and installing on your host. It's a lot of work starting a VA. Take it one step at a time, research carefully. It's not an install it today and open your VA tomorrow type of thing, even if someone else installs phpVMS for you. If that's not something you're interested in, there are many estavlished VAs out there accepting new pilots.

See the Docs link in the top menu. It's pretty easy to set up - but be sure your host supports the minimum requirements listed in the docs.

Yes it is. You can get the latest dev version, released within the past week, by visiting our Discord server.

Actually, you should have a reply to your request now.

Sending a ticket thru your vmshost account is the best way. When he has time from his real life commitments, he will address it.

If you were to alter this code and make it available to others, you will need to get WRITTEN permission from the original author - and include that written permission with the altered module. The other option is to come up with a totally new module - without using any of the original code.

Logistical issues? What might that be? If that logistical issue is smartCARS, I understand the money investment. But at some point, it's time to cut your losses (and frustration) and move forward. I don't foresee them releasing (at a cost to all again) smartCARS 3 anytime soon. What MySQL or MariaDB version are you using? You will find issues using phpVMS 5.x with any MySQL above 5.7.4 and MariaDB 10.2 and above. With shared hosts updating to newer PHP and MySQL/MariaDB versions, more issues will continue to crop up. phpVMS v7 and vmsACARS are the best options.

If your only options are PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.3 - set PHP 5.6 and install phpVMS 5.5.2 (not 5.5.2.72). As stated in the readme for phpVMS 5.5.2.72, it works on PHP 7.2 and possibly 7.0 and 7.1 - As you have found, it will NOT install/work correctly on PHP 7.3 or higher. Does your host offer PHP 8.0 or 8.1 by chance? If so, use phpVMS v7. phpVMS 2.x and 5.x are legacy and are not receiving any further updates to work with newer PHP or MySQL/MariaDB versions. Is GoDaddy your hosting company? If so, maybe they can help you with a newer version of PHP or move you to a different server that will support phpVMS v7 and PHP 8.1

See post #2 - nothing has changed with that answer.

What PHP version? MySQL above 5.7.4 will cause issues. Ask TFDI if Strict Mode is on or off.

@UZVA - We are going to need more info to help you..... phpVMS v7 dev build number? PHP version? MySQL/MariaDB version? Free, shared or VPS hosting? What install method did you use? Laravel logs? Did you read through the docs? I see that Infinity Free appears to be free web hosting. The docs and forums are quite clear that free hosting won't support phpVMS.

There is no phpVMS 5 - only 5.5.2 and 5.5.2.72 You can check the exact version in the lower left corner of the phpCMS admin panel. Ask TFDI exactly what PHP and MySQL/MariaDB is being used. You have full access to all phpVMS files - including this module - thru you hosting panel. You are going to continue to have issues with that skin. Is that the Stisla skin? If so, the skin doesn't show the proper attribution required by the phpVMS license when not signed into the site. This puts you in violation of the phpVMS licensing terms.

If an addon module doesn't work with the default Crystal skin, it won't work with other skins either. Is this module payware or freeware? Post a link to the module. phpVMS version? PHP version? MySQL/MariaDB version? Be aware, the skin shown in your post is old and unsupported. The developer hasn't been around in several years.

I have edited your post. No posting of payware code on the forums. We can discuss a possible fix via PM.

Yeah, whatever he did, he didn't do it correctly - and therein lies the problem. If you don't know how to do it correctly, don't do it. Or at least be smart enough to back up the DB first.

UPDATE - I married an older DB backup from May 2022 to his site files. kACARS works as it should. This means the site owner compromised the DB while adding schedules, aircraft, airports, etc. thru the admin panel - most probably the schedules table has numerous errors in it. I am hoping he kept good logs of exactly what he did. Just another reason to ALWAYS do a backup of your DB and site files anytime you change anything........ Thanks to all who offered help/advice - both here and on Discord - with this issue!

Thanks, I will try resetting the acars table. I noticed his acars table is quite long, so may be some bad data there. PHP version is 7.2 - I also tried 7.0 and 7.1 without success. On my site, it works just fine with 7.2 Also uploaded his site files and DB to my hosting. kACARS_Free still doesn't work with his files and DB on my host. So it's not his host, it's something in his files or database.

Do you have a no-attribution license for phpVMS? If not, the license requires "powered by phpVMS" in the footer of every website page that is related to phpVMS. Be sure you are fully in compliance with the licensing terms of phpVMS, all addon modules, etc. Ask you host the exact version of MariaDB. Report back once they provide that info. phpVMS 5.5.2 or 5.5.2.72 will NOT work correctly when using MariaDB 10.5 The Stisla skin is no longer supported and the developer hasn't been around for a long time. Non-static method is covered in post #4 above. Count parameter needs a small coding tweak - something similar to this as I recall: if(is_array ($foo) || $foo instanceof Countable) { if count ($foo) { do something } } This works with PHP 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 Google... Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable for further info.

You can ask your host if they offer MariaDB 10.2 or lower on a different server. That server will also need to support the other requirements as well. Or change to a host that supports the requirements of phpVMS 5.5.2.72 fully. smartCARS 2 won't work in phpVMS v7 - and no updated on smartCARS 3 in a long time. The only present ACARS that works in phpVMS v7 is vmsACARS. It is being actively developed, as is phpVMS v7.

phpVMS version? PHP version? MySQL/MariaDB version? What skin are you using? Provide a link to the skin.
