That appears to be from a web update. I don't think realtime.txt shows in this if it is set at Realtime interval.

Your Saratoga page starts with the current date/time but the immediately goes to yesterday's date.

Is this your data for today http://www.elgheko.us/today.htm ?

The really strange thing I just noticed is that the data on the Weather Underground and PWS sites is accurate.

I'd try dropping the leading / from your remote file names. Use "public_html/..." Rather than "/public_html/...”

I gave it a try. changing"/public_html/" to " public_html". Much to my surprise the change was accepted. Over the years it has always been the "/public_html/" version my host required. However, the end result is unchanged. What really is confusing is when logging into the webpage, there is a momentary display in green of the actual current readings. Then it goes back to the readings of September 2nd.

Your trends page is up to date for me http://www.elgheko.us/wxtrends.php
and the realtime.txt file is updating http://www.elgheko.us/realtime.txt

EDIT: Ah, no I see they are fairly recent, but not updating.

I know nothing about your set-up, but seeing correct readings being overwritten suggests to me that JavaScript (perhaps as an AJAX script) is overwriting what the basic website generates. I therefore suggest that you check again, because it may just be that the web page was generated at one interval (Cumulus standard updating interval) and the script is updated at real time interval and the first real-time update happened after you looked, or maybe that script is not being FTP-ed correctly yet.

I just happen to have a thought (ouch, that hurt! :bash: ). In the process of moving everything from my old host to my new host, is it possible that some file permissions got changed/modified and they aren't being updated as they should be? However, I am not certain of which files/folders to check into. Any suggestions? :?

For now I am going to do a complete backup and then restore all my files from the pre-switch backup from my old host to see if that helps. Not sure if that is wise, but it can't hurt (I hope).

I have been in contact with the tech support people of my new host to have them do a complete restore of the backup from 09/01/2018. Seeing as the updating of the system started just before noon on the 2nd, the backup from the 1st is the the one to be used. We'll see what happens. Their backup method is different that the one I was used to from my older host, so I will let my current host do the restore instead my my attempting it.

Is there a file that I should be looking for in particular that is responsible for updating in real time the current readings? I am getting to the point where I am thinking (not quite seriously yet) of blowing everything away and starting all over from scratch. But that would be a last thing I would even consider. I just figure that there is one file that is malfunctioning and I need to find it.

"HELP" is the key word of the day here. I am 100% baffled at this moment.

Your uploads to PWs and WU appears to be current, is that right?
However realtime.txt is not.

I know you are using Saratogo so don't need to upload the standard Cumulus template files, but I would try by setting these to upload, and then see if they are. The result may be a clue.

Can you do a manual FTP i.e. Filezilla, and then using the settings from that make sure that the settings is Cumulus are the same?

I presume that if you can get the realtime.txt updating the rest will fall in place.


Good luck,

Paul

I have determined that it is something with the realtime.txt file that is not being updated properly. I must be missing something that is very obvious. Here are the setting in the cumulus.ini file for the uploads to the website from my PC:

I think I have it fixed. And I don't understand the reason why. What I did was add realtime.txt to the config file and downloaded to to the website in a realtime mode. Now it seems to be working. I went back to the beginning of the year backups and I don't find realtime.txt anywhere in any of the backup config files. But now it is working. Go figure. :groan:

when I looked at your status page realtime was not updated intime with your setting of every 15 secs realtime is updated.

Also your Saratoga Templates are in much need of updating. Just to add some more work to you updates :lol:

infact your updates are not set to what the wxstatus page is expecting.

Thanks for noticing this. Boy, switching hosts sure has been more involved than I had expected. :oops:
Hopefully I have updated these extra files so they are all getting sent to the website like they should be.
