Trouble With Airports Also

[OzFlyer]

Hi All,

I am also having trouble with airports not being add when importing new routes.

Also when you try to add them manual if you enter the Airport ICAO Code then press Look Up the form displays Fetching airport data... and stops no data ever displays.

I have cleared the cache.

Any help please.

Also can anyone tell me what database and where it uses to look this info up from?

Thank you.

David

Look for the following line in your local.config.php file;

Config::Set('AIRPORT_LOOKUP_SERVER', 'geonames');

and change it to

Config::Set('AIRPORT_LOOKUP_SERVER', 'phpvms');

If it is not in your local.config.php file, copy it from your app.config or this post and add it to the file.

The goenames server API has changed and now requires a password so the existing call from phpVMS never completes. If you change it to the phpVMS selection then the system will look for the info on the phpVMS server, BUT, the phpVMS API server is the same server the forum and VACentral is on which experiences a lot of 502 errors which can stop the system from looking up the airport as well. If this is happening all the time as well with the settings this way you will have to wait and try again at a later time or input the information manually.

Edit your original post and use Full Editor to edit the title.

Is it possible to add them in manually by typing in the information? My airline seems to have this bug, and our File Manager says that the file is in UFT-8 format and cannot be edited.

[simpilot]

You should be able to enter the information directly into the fields of the form. You should also be able to edit the file if you chose to edit it as a text file possibly or an html file in your cpanel. Even better would be to download it and edit it on your local pc and then upload it back to the site.

Will this fix add the airports to the airport list of the VA, with correct LAT/LON info, etc?

[servetas]

No it will not. You will have to edit the airports which have problems on their information one by one or re-add them on your system.
