    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?

    Hi all,

    One of my pilots is getting this error with his kacars. Can anyone tell me why this is doing this. Thanks

    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.

    sad to see that already is taken advantace off the passing off a geat man

    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.

  7. Socket Problem

    in Support Forum

    I wish if you can find something for me, i'm new to this.

    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!

  8. Custom AI

    If you are replicating a real world airline, it is pretty easy, as most of the main AI makers have done all the hard work for you, and you just need to download them and install them. But if you are a fictional VA, then you will need to download the paintkits for all the AI models that are the same as the aircraft in your fleet, and paint them in your livery, then create the schedules for them. You will need to learn how that is done, you will also need a compiler for them. So it is not as easy as palmairva said.

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

    No worries

    Fatal error: Uncaught <blockquote><font face=arial size=2 color=000099><b>Last Error --</b> [<font color=000000><b>Access denied for user 'qantasvi_dev'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (1045)</b></font>]<br />[<font color=000000><b></b></font>]</font><p> </blockquote><hr noshade color=dddddd size=1> thrown in /home/qantasvi/public_html/dev/core/classes/ezdb/ezdb_mysql.class.php on line 99

    The user has full permissions when i set the account up

    Cheers

    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.

    He will still be able to get the password from the file, as its the same password as my production site, as both databases are on the same server i am not given an option to set a password when creating a database.

    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.

    Also my app.config.php is a bit different to yours, i've got 
    //Config::Set('SESSION_COOKIE_NAME', 'VMS_AUTH_COOKIE');

    under my cookie information, i take it i uncomment this ?

    No, don't comment it out. Just rename VMS_AUTH_COOKIE to something different like DEV_AUTH_COOKIE for your dev site.

  19. [SOLVED] Protect local.config.php file on FTP

    in Support Forum

    G'day Guys,

    I have recently appointed a dev guy within my VA, and I'm trying to allow him access to the dev site to work. Currently i have setup the account so he can access the files, but he can also access the local.config.php, and other sensitive files that contain passwords and information i don't want him to get at, how can i prevent him from accessing these files ? i have tried the permissions but that doesn't seem to stop the account.

    I setup the ftp account through my host's cpanel option. I can see that i can password protect a directory, but why not a file ?

    I'm not sure you guys have done this before but if someone has, any help would be great.

    Cheers

    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.

  20. Custom AI

    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.
