Great to see you taking on vacentral as well. As for the xml feeds, I got a "The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.vacentral.net'" using a custom VA rather than phpvms. Is this still down?

I gave up on this issue for a while but have come back to it. Whilst updating the website on my test server I am still unable to submit pireps, they simply do not appear in the database despite there being no errors (except for the strict standards errors which I have turned off reporting). There appears to be no issues with the database and the website runs fine on the test server except for the filing of pireps (either manually or with acars). I know that the database is being written to because I can add new pilots, add comments to pireps, delete pilots, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated. On the current server I am running Win 2008 R2 with IIS 6.1 and PHP 5.3.19 (Everything works fine) On test server I have tried both Win 2012 R2 and Win 8.1 with IIS 8 and tried PHP 5.3.19, 5.3.28 and 5.6 (full copy of the website and database, everything works apart from the submission of pireps to the database).

I tried that but it failed with the following error: The database itself is around 90MB. Is there something I am missing with this. I don't ever remember it being this hard last time I moved server. Am I supposed to run the install script for phpvms, let it create the tables and then import everything over (which I tried and it failed when trying to overwrite primary keys) or is there a particular setting in a file that I am overwriting when I move the whole website files over (I am not overwriting the local and codon config files though).

Yeah I actually thought about that. I did a fresh install of phpvms on the new server but can't seem to migrate the old data. Any ideas how to do this easily rather than table by table?

Nothing is showing up in the error_log It seems to only be the pireps table that is not updating, everything else is working fine. This is the only error I am getting on the list of pireps after submitting: Warning: Creating default object from empty value in \core\classes\Vars.class.php on line 74 if that helps

I have just moved our VA over to a new web server and everything is working fine except that when a PIREP is submitted either manually or via acars it fails to put this in the database thus losing all the information. I have checked that there is sufficient permissions to write to the database and there is - bids work fine, new pilots can join, etc. Just PIREPs wont submit. Any help greatly appreciated.

Probably not as much as here, but enough that it was getting crazy. But like I said, once the questions were on, it was harder for spammers to register. I also added a question to the registration form for the VA and that stopped spammers as well.

May I suggest you add some question and answer challenges for those who register (its in the IPBoard settings). I have it set in our forums and have never had a spam bot since (even with the spam filter on or off, it hasn't detected any since March when I first set the questions). I have two questions set - Type this number in backwards - xxxxxxx, and type this words backwards - xxxxxx (some random jumble of letters). I have found this to be much more reliable then captcha or anything like that since you can just change the questions to suit your needs or whenever someone gets through (again, haven't changed in 6 months and nothing yet - touch wood!).

Ok, I see the last flight ended there. However, my records show we have had over 80 flights already this month but VACentral is only showing 30 of them.

I was just looking at our VACentral rankings and just realised that none of our PIREP's since the 3 Feb have been recorded. Then I looked to those higher ranked than me and it seems that no one's pirep's have been recorded since aorund 3 Feb. Question then being, is there a problem?

Whenever phpvms/vacentral website is innaccessable (i.e. will not load), I have a long wait whenever trying to access the admin centre. Additionally, whenever they go down I also have a long wait when filing pireps using kAcars and in some cases, the same PIREP gets submitted more than once. Is there any fix to this short of removing vacentral from my VA altogether? Regards, Alan. www.worldwidevirtual.net
