Sound like there is a problem with internet connection on your VPS.

hi anton thanks for this software of yours... i'm new with this kind of apliccation i have a few things to ask :
1.what kind of device that is better to use on client( cars ) to be installed ? an android or a manufactured device? is it hard to configure the manufactured device to send location on our own server?
can you give me an example to configured in any low cost and stable device you recommend.

2.is there any php code to be used to show marker or icon of the car that i can make an example to be inplemented on my own web apliccation ? so that i can show the movement of the cars and view it base on groups?

  1. is there any indonesian participan that been using this software? i'd be glad to have their sharing knowledge with me. @ceceps maybe kind enough to email me at grasias@gmail.com

thank you so much anton
cheers

  1. It's probably better to have hardware GPS tracker as it's specifically designed for it. Unfortunately I can't recommend any specific model.

  2. There are some examples of API usage in PHP. Search forum and GitHub.

Hi Anton,

How would i get a total distance travelled by all the vehicles? Any api available?

It should be available in positions.

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = (unset),
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",
    LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_US.UTF-8").

can sameone tell me how to fix this?

Why do you need to fix it? It doesn't seem to be a critical issue.
