Is anyone having problems sending PIREP's ? Particularly Flight Keeper & FsAcars?
Along with changes in XAcars, I made some changes to the other scripts as well. Trying to save information about online flying in the reports, so we can use this for general and personal statistics.

XAcars seems to work ok, but I have seen a couple of FlightKeeper and FsAcars flights tonight on the map. Reports still missing (Svilen Vassilev, Thomas Adler). So, if something went wrong, please let me know. And if you get any error messages, post them here.
 
Affirm, trying to send a PIREP via Flight Keeper fails with the message
SQL query failed.INSERT INTO acpireps (...) VALUES (...);

(trimmed out the contents of the mysql query to save space, but if they're relevant for troubleshooting, I can post them.
I thought initially it was a problem on my end, so thank you for the thread, Peter :)

YES, please :yes:

If I can not fix it quickly, I'll revert to the old version.
Thanks for the info, Svilen.
 
OK, here it goes:

Not to open a separate thread, but currently there seems to be a problem sending pireps with FlightKeeper, the process times-out when trying to upload the picture files for the maps, giving a "Cannot establish connection with the server" message. Can somebody kindly try to reproduce and confirm?

Thanks in advance! :)
 
Hi Svilen,

Can confirm I get the same error that you mention when trying to upload a flightkeeper Pirep.

Peter will look into it soon. :)

Thank you, Andrew! It's always reassuring to know you're not alone in a problem :D
 
You not alone, I have the same problem with Flight Keeper:

Failed to upload Flight Mapfile to FTP Server

Response: A conection with the server could not be estabilished

That's where the problem lies - some failure with the FTP access. I can't get any ftp or sftp connection from home, either. I don't think it's a problem of the server itself. I checked it remotely and everything looks fine. Restarted the ftp service but no success. It's probably some routing or port forwarding problem. Nothing I could fix from home. Well, nothing I could fix myself, anyway :)
Will call the techies tomorrow.

As it only affects Flight Keeper (only maps are sent through ftp, pireps use http), please keep your local reports and send them as soon as they've fixed whatever problem it is ;)
 
Re: Problems sending Pireps? [FIXED]

:eek:uch:
FTP problem should be fixed - finally!

Sorry it took so long. It seems they were looking in the wrong place, first. This afternoon it turned out that our backbone provider (we only use their gateways for routing) has blocked all ftp and ssh traffic to their network due to a security breach. Although our servers are not affected by this, we were still affected by their port blocking. They have now established a special route for our network and it seems to be working again.

Please try to send your Flightkeeper reports. I'll keep my fingers crossed :D
 
Re: Problems sending Pireps? [FIXED]

I just sent my 2 pireps from last night and everything seems to be good :) Thanks you!
 
Re: Problems sending Pireps? [FIXED]

Great! Let's hope it will stay this way ;)

If you wonder why only the last flight is marked as Vatsim flight, this is a restriction in my script. It checks the last line of a vroute list for every Vatsim ID. If you send several reports at once, only the last one will be matched and marked.
Well, I think we can live with that, for now...

Yes, I noticed that, but certainly, as you say, it's not an issue at all :yes:
 
Hi,

just sending a pirep with FsAcars (should I change it?) and I could not see any problem, but the flight was not registered by you, my booking is still open.

http://www.vataware.com/flight.cfm?id=9316071

Cause I did not save the pirep, it seems to be lost, what should I do in such a case? Probably forget it, or is there an other possibility?

Best regards
Jürgen
 
I prefer XACARS, in XACARS the last flight will always be saved as 'lastpirep' or something like that. So you can always recreate as long as you haven't started another one....

For some reason the last line that is added by our pirep script and should read "END OF REPORT" is missing. I don't know why but I will manually insert your data. Just allow a little time (maybe until the weekend).
