If your going to ask for help you need to give us as much detail as possible. What do you mean your site crashed? Are you getting any error messages or is it just a blank screen?

Go to the Simpilot forums to the exam center and follow the instructions.

We need a little more information to be able to help you. First we need the version of kACARS your running and then we need the exact error message you are getting. Please post the error or a screenshot of it.

He's not running the application as an admin. He needs to drill down to C:\Program Files\FS Products\Caal Airways Virtual\ and then run the application as an admin. If you do this just to the shortcut file on the desktop it will not work.

He means is it an unmodified version of 934? He's asking if you've done any modifications to core files, etc. or is it just a fresh install with no modifications.

I think that's a trend now a days with VA's. I've seen people do "relief flights" etc. when there has been real world earthquakes and other natural disasters. Some can argue the morality of it until they are blue in the face as I'm sure the OP will do. I've never done that with my VA and I never plan on it but it's a lot more common that one would like.

Simpilot has given you a starting point to start the troubleshooting process. You may have to contact your host because it more than likely is them. Free hosts generally block or restrict certain ports / services to force you to upgrade to their paid hosting. May I suggest you look into http://fivedev.net/hosting . The owner of Fivedev is the creator of PHPVMS so you will not have any socket issues on his servers. Plus, his prices are very reasonable and support is very fast. Numerous VA owners have their sites on FiveDev and I am one of them. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. What do you use for the schedule creation?

Have you looked into FiveDev? Nabeel offers a very generous package of space and bandwidth at a very affordable price.

Sorting by "Status" on the admin pilot list doesn't work. When you try to sort it doesn't show any results. All other columns sort fine.

As Mr. Bean has stated, there is nothing wrong with your live map. FS Passengers doesn't report status updates.

I know, but what are you using to report this? KACARS, XACARS, FSPassenger?

What are you using for ACARS reporting?

Awesome, I'm glad you got it all worked out!

I just checked my app.config file. The cookie information you quoted is on line 207. You need to go to line 575 and change it there.

That error is one we see a lot here. It definitely is a permission issue with the db user account. Double check the username and password and make sure all permissions are granted.

Could you post the full error?

My databases are on the same server as well. That's the point of having two totally separate databases. You just copy the database tables into a new database with a new user and password. Then on your dev site local.config file you set it to the new username and password. Since it's a different database it doesn't need the same username and password as the production database. Does your host use CPanel? You should be able to use the database wizard to create a new database with a different user account. No, don't comment it out. Just rename VMS_AUTH_COOKIE to something different like DEV_AUTH_COOKIE for your dev site.

I have a dev site also and what I did was took a copy of my production database and imported it into a new database called phpvms_dev. Then in my dev site I changed the local.config file to point to my dev site. That way my dev copy of PHPVMS would still work and not affect my production database in any way. If you do this he will not have access to your production database or passwords. As for FTP access, when you create a new sub FTP account if asks you the folder you want it to point to so that user can not see anything but that folder and it's contents. If you copy your prod files over to that folder he can do what he needs to do without seeing your prod files. If they can see the production files then it's not setup as a sub FTP account. Also, if your dev site is on the same server you need to change the cookie name so you don't have any login conflicts between the two sites. To do that go to line 575 in your app.config.php fine and find define ('VMS_AUTH_COOKIE', 'VMSAUTH') ; Change VMSAUTH to something like DEVAUTH.

I was wondering if anyone has created custom AI aircraft of their VA for flightsim? I've only seen one VA do this and I thought that was a really neat idea. Their AI followed their schedules. I wonder how hard it would be to make this happen?

A word of caution for you if you plan on having two sites on the same server. If you plan on doing any testing that would mess with any of your site data then you need to copy all your database tables to a new database. Then on your new install make sure you point to the correct database or you'll mess with your live data. You will also what to change the name of the default site cookie or you will have issues with logins getting confused between the two sites. To do that go to line 575 in your app.config.php fine and find define ('VMS_AUTH_COOKIE', 'VMSAUTH') ; Change VMSAUTH to something like DEVAUTH. This is how I have mine setup and it works great.

Everyone has had their say. In for future please keep posts like this private. Post locked!

Stop bumping the posts. You are the most impatience person I've ever seen. Nobody is going to want to help you when you act like this.

Never mind, I figured it out. I was missing a { . All I needed to do was shut down the computer for a little while and clear my head. Thanks!
