After a lot of problems, and with the help of Nabeel at Fivedev, I’ve finally manged to install phpVMS.
Now I’ve come across another problem. Whenever I try to add airports manually I get an error “There was an error adding the airport”. If I try to “look up” an airport, the system just hangs and doesn’t do anything.
I’ve now tried this using two different installs and with two different paid hosts. I’ve looked through this forum and can see that others have had the same problem in the past, but can’t see any solutions to the problem.
I’ve been trying to get my VA set up for nearly a week now, using different platforms and hosts, so I’m getting a bit ‘peeved’ with all the problems,
phpVMS looks like the best platform (once you can get it working properly), so any advice on an easy ‘fix’ would be appreciated
As for the airport issue, do you have any Config::Set(‘PHPVMS_API_SERVER’ set in your local.config.php file? If yes, what is its value? If not, add this:
I haven’t got a clue what version of phpVMS I have, but I downloaded it via the phpVMS link, which is from Github I think, so I assume it’s the latest version.
I’m no expert at the php language, although over this last week I’ve improved :-), but I had a go at your suggestion.
I had a look to see if the entry was already there, but it wasn’t, so I added what you said I should (copied and pasted). I wasn’t sure where to add it, so placed it at the very bottom of the page.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t made any difference, I’m still getting the same error,
Once again, thanks for the help. I’d be lost without it. Any further suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
Make sure you have this version of phpvms (it’s not required, but it will help for it being the most stable version).
Then check that your local.config.php file has this in it (as I see you do), the lookup line isn’t required by phpvms 5.5.x because it no longer uses geonames to pull data officially. Try removing the lookup server line as well and see if that makes a difference.
Then test to see if the airport isn’t making any trouble by going to here http://api.vacentral.net/index.php/airport/get/ and after the get/ put the icao and see if it returns data at the end of the page.
({"totalResultsCount":1,"airports":[{"icao":"KLAX","name":"Los Angeles International Airport","countryName":"United States","lat":"33.9425","lng":"-118.408","lowlead":"0","jeta":"0"}]})
After that, reload the add airport page and open up the browser console and see if any errors appear after you click the fetch airport data button (then it will be a javascript error).
Thank for your suggestions for the number 1 i got already that version, the 2nd while trying to visiting api.vacentral.net/index.php/airport/get/icao i have many errors on the page.
No errors shown while adding airports!
If you scroll to the bottom of the page, after the error boxes, you should see:
({“totalResultsCount”:1,“airports”:[{“icao”:“OERK”,“name”:“King Khaled International Airport”,“countryName”:“Saudi Arabia”,“lat”:“24.9576”,“lng”:“46.6988”,“lowlead”:“0”,“jeta”:“0”}]})

Hi sir,
I saw it before, but doesn’t matter for me, since the feature isn’t workable from my website, i can gather like those info from other resources.
And it will remain so until after vaCentral is back on line. Additionally, it will require several coding changes as the API and provided info will change.
There are several online resources to look the required data up manually.
