Thanks web541 I will give it a try and report back on my findings.

Hi everyone, I have been looking into the possibility of running my copy of phpvms via secure connection so that if people browse to http:// they are redirected automatically to https:// as my paid hosting offers free security certificates and secure hosting. I did a test of it on my testbed platform for phpvms, added the secure hosting to the domain, added the certificate, added the code to the htaccess file for phpvms and set url rewrite in the config file to true however it didnt load the page correctly. Some compotents were loaded and others were not. Firefox said the page contained mixed content. I have searched the forums for this one but have not found any result for it. Has anyone else tried to configure their installation to be on a secure link? Did you get it work and if yes how did you do it? Many Thanks Jonny

Good News! I have downloaded the copy that simpilot maintains. It uploaded fine and has run through the installation phase without error or issue, so it looks like my virtual airline has taken a step closer in come to fruition. Thanks again, J

Hi Vangelis, Thanks again for replying and apologises for not searching before hand. I did search for my original problem didnt find many results with a similar issue hence why I posted. I shall bare it in mind for future reference and try to do more searching before posting. Again thanks for your help, I have downloaded the copy that simpilot maintains to see if I am able to get that working. I will post back here to let you know. Cheers J

Hi Vangelis, Thanks for getting back to me about it. I followed your suggestion and it worked as far the site setup page. I entered all of the information it required however I was presented with the following error. Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _FILES in /home/phpvmsadmin/phpvms.goldlinepictures.com/phpvms/core/common/PilotData.class.php on line 436 Any ideas on how to fix this? Cheers J

Hi everyone, I used phpvms a few years ago and so have previous knowledge of the system. I moved away from Flight Simulation for a while due to other commitments and have recently come back to it. I thought I would check out phovms again as I have thought about setting up a virtual airline again. However when I came to install it I encountered the following error and I am not sure on how to continue. I am on paid hosting and have never had a problem with my webhost in the past for such things. I followed the installation guide on here. I downloaded the full version in zip format, unzipped the package and uploaded it via sftp. I have run the install check and everything checksout okay. Yet when I run the installer I get the following error - 'Fatal error: Class 'DB' not found in /home/phpvmsadmin/phpvms.goldlinepictures.com/phpvms/core/common/SettingsData.class.php on line 28' I have opened the file and cannot see what is going on as I am not hugely familiar with php coding. Does any one have any advice on how to overcome this issue or does anyone have an older copy of phpvms installer and files that works that they could send me so I can try to get an older copy of it working? Many Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from people soon. Cheers Jonny

Thanks for the replies, I have just checked again a dew hours later and it is now appearing with the new background. I tried refresh several times before I posted and that didn't seem to work and I didn't clear my browser history so I am not sure why it is now appearing. I am happy that it is though. Thanks for answering guys. Sorry to have bothered you.

I know this sounds like a silly question but are you using the correct format code for the color in the stylesheet, also make sure that all spaces and characters are correct otherwise it will not generate the correct color or may not generate the text at all. I have learnt this the hard way.

Hi there, We have recently changed the background for our signatures and it is working for others but not for me. I have selected the new background in my profile and I have selected the Reset Signatures link in the maintenance section of the admin panel. It is regenerating the signatures however for me it is regenerating the signature with the old background which is no longer on the server my site is hosted at. There is only one background file in the background folder. Does anyone have any ideas what is happening and how I can sort this out. My Vice-ceo would normally sort this but he is currently on holiday. Cheers

Nice skin

Kevin did you manage to sort the problem out with your site. If you didn't any want some help, just let me know I am happy to help if you need it. PM me if you want or post here. Cheers

I am glad to hear that you are going to open up again. I think the work that you do for phpvms skinning is absolutely brilliant.

Again a very nice site by Tom. It looks really good. But when I looked at the copyright message I was really surprised and said something I am not allowed to post on the board. I also maxed out the zoom in firefox and it was still less than size 1 font. I am really amazed.

I think it should be server side as then all PIREPs that come in would follow the same format. It would in theory be easier for the management of the VA that way. Perhaps though you could develop both and allow each VA to choose which one they implement.

Is there anyway to change your password on vacentral to something more memorable, or is it a case of you have to use the one that is generated for you.

Doing updates during the day is a stupid practice but then I suppose you would have to pay your engineers extra for working over night to do the updates so in someways its a no win situation.

When I now looked at your site there was a permissions error on the connection to your database. You need to allow the user you have specified in your config file access to your database. To do this you will need to use phpMyAdmin 1.)Login and select the database your are using from the drop down box on the left hand side. 2.)Once the database has loaded you will need to select privilages tab at the top of the page. 3.) This will then load the privilages screen for this database. Select the user you entered into your phpvms config file and check the permissions for this user by clicking on the actions icon for the user. Your user should have the following permissions SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE/CREATE/APPEND. As for porting and the css knowledge I am not sure. I hope this helps.

Thanks Lorenzo for working that out. I am really pleased that it has been worke out after being told at the beginning of this thread that it was not possible. Hopefully this idea could be integrate into future releases of phpvms

Thanks Lorenzo that would be great.

That's cool, thanks for sharing that homer09001. I might implement that idea onto my site too.

Thanks for sharing it with us Lorenzo, I will try to integrate it to our site. Maybe we could develop it and get a fully working solution and then present it on here so that it might be adde into future releases of phpvms. I would love you to have a go at trying to create something Lorenzo if you are happy to do so. Thanks again Lorenzo and thanks Tom for your post.

Sorry to hear that your site was hacked but I am pleased to hear that you have the site up and running again. It really pisses me off when you hear of people hacking sites, its pointless. It just makes them look foolish.

That's a shame because I think that would be a cool feature to have.

Hi all, Sorry if I put this in the wrong place. I wanted to know if it is possible to have a default skin for phpvms to load and then in each users profile section of the site under the profile options heading have a drop down box so they can select a skin and save it so that it becomes their fav skin and loads when ever they log in without affecting the skin other users see. An example of what I am trying to say is they user theme selection many forums use. Any thoughts on the idea would be great Cheers Jonny

Thanks for the info, I will try that out. At present I think that my site doesnt have any meta tag info so better get some in there me thinks. Also thanks to Jeff for asking about favicon, that clarified what I thought.
