Thanks for the reply. In desperation I asked a friend (also a phpVMS user) to run the install from his side, that worked 100%. Then deleted all & I tried again - no luck So I spend a good part of last night laying awake about this, I remembered I had a problem in the past with Google Chrome re. an installation, so this morning I started IE & yipeeeee .... al OK !

After the clean install, I can not get access to the admin center - reply with error "An Error Was Encountered Please login first" ( I have tried every combination & possibility I could come up with ) This is the procedure I followed .. 1. Downloaded phpVMS 2. Created a folder http://www.'mywebsite'.co.za/phpVMS 3. Uploaded the extracted files to above with FileZilla 4. Created a database with mySQL v5.3.3 that I called "acars_db1" 5. Created the user/passw as - "acarsadmin" & "admin1234" 6. Through FileZilla I confirmed the file permissions as per the tutorial (Site owner had all 3 ticked & the other two users ony had the 1st & 3rd ticked) 7. I then ran the install.php file through my web browser (Google Chrome) 8. DB location & name etc all filled in, the user I created there was the same as mySQL user, namely "acarsadmin" & "admin1234" as password 2 pages on I entered "Acars" (1st name) & "Admin" (last name) & same password "admin1234" 9. After the install wizards finished, I could select to login to "front page" or "admin panel" 10. The only login allowed is ZAV001 (airline code so selected) with the password "admin1234" 11. When I select the "admin center", I get error .. "An Error Was Encountered Please login first" 12. I tried user "acarsadmin" / "acars" / "admin" as well - "This user does not exist" error received 13. I changed the permission of the "Active pilots" in the DB to the same as the "administrators" (still no luck) What am I doing wrong ? p.s. With the 1st install I created a user with my real name & surname, that also did not work. I deleted the DB, deleted the folder/s and started from fresh as explained above
