Aircraft detected in zero - something related to Datasource

[punithbm]

I've installed the FlightAirMap with Nginx - MySQL and it works. But its showing aircraft detected as Zero However i've script run daemon-acars.php

I've followed the installation steps - Please note I was not able to setup init scripts

systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable flightairmap.service systemctl start flightairmap.service

since i was getting flightairmap not found error Please advice on the fixes

You use ACARS as datasource ? Do you have some output when run the script ?

For init scripts you copied them to the /lib/systemd/... path and fixed the path if you don't use the default one (/var/www/flightarimap/) ?

Hi @Ysurac thanks for the quick reply

I use ACARS for datasource - please check the screen shot for init scripts.. I copied the files to /etc/systemd/flightairmap.service and edited like this [Unit] Description=FlightAirMap

[Service] ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30 ExecStart=/var/www/flightairmap/scripts/daemon-spotter.php

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Please advice on the same

What output do you have when you run daemon-acars.php or daemon-spotter.php manually ?

I'm getting following error when i run - php daemon-acars.php

Can't calculate geoid, check that you downloaded it via update_db.php (Exception: /var/www/flightairmap/require/../data/egm2008-1.pgm doesn't exist in /var/www/flightairmap/require/class.GeoidHeight.php:46 Stack trace:

Did you run update_db.php ? daemon-acars.php is a UDP server for acarsdec/acarsdeco, it listen on a port (that is already used in this case). If it's not what you want, run daemon-spotter.php that can be used for ACARS SBS-3 over TCP, ACARS from acarsdec json (TCP and UDP).

I did run update_db.php by php update_db.php When I run php daemon-spotter.php - i'm getting following error

Connecting... Connect to all... Connection in progress to 127.0.0.1:3306 (sbs).... SCAN MODE

Wrong line format. Ignoring... [Reconnect after an error... Connect to all... Connection in progress to 127.0.0.1:3306 (sbs).... Check all... Update last seen flights data...

FYI I'm using nginx - mysql - php combination also please check the screenshot of output : netstat -tulpn

[Ysurac]

What program do you use for ACARS ?

[punithbm]

@Ysurac I'm not sure about that

This is my settings.php file

$globalSources = array(array('host' => '127.0.0.1','port' => '3306','name' => '','format' => 'auto','sourcestats' => FALSE,'noarchive' => FALSE,'timezone' => 'U$ // ^^ in the form array(array(host => 'host1', 'port' => 'port1','name' => 'first source','format' => 'sbs'),array('host' => 'host2', 'port' => 'port2','name' =$

//ACARS Listen in UDP $globalACARS = FALSE; $globalACARSHost = '0.0.0.0'; // Local IP to listen $globalACARSPort = '9999'; $globalACARSArchive = array('10','80','81','82','3F'); // labels of messages to archive $globalACARSArchiveKeepMonths = '0';

//APRS configuration (for glidernet) $globalAPRS = FALSE; $globalAPRSversion = $globalName.' using FlightAirMap'; $globalAPRSssid = 'FAM'; $globalAPRSfilter = 'r/'.$globalCenterLatitude.'/'.$globalCenterLongitude.'/250.0'; $globalAPRSarchive = FALSE; // archive track of APRS flights

//User can choose between APRS & SBS1 //$globalMapchoose = FALSE;

@Ysurac anything on this

[Ysurac]

For FlightAirMap, you need to have a source, I don't provide any by default. What is your source and what you want to do ?

[punithbm]

Oh ok - I just wanted to try this for real time aircraft tracking - just like in your example (https://real.flightairmap.com/) Can you (@Ysurac ) please suggest be some source or any ways to integrate it

[Ysurac]

For real flight there is adsbexchange or adsbhub. Else you can use a RTL-SDR USB key with Dump1090 like the key available here: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/ then you will get flights that are near your position.

@Ysurac Thank you. Can you please help us in how to use adsbexchange or adsbhub or any other source for showing real aircraft. We tried couple of times - but not able to figure out
