What have I done wrong here?

Post by harrym1byt »

I FTP'ed to my website yesterday, to have a bit of a tidy up on my personal web space and the connection with Tiscali's site was a bit dodgy. I managed to deleted all of the files, but reinstalled them as per the help instructions using FTP. I have not made any changes to Cumulus's configuration, yet when I browse to the weather just see a list of the files in there rather than the usual graphics page.

Help please, I'm going around in circles here. Its at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/m1byt/weather/

That usually means there is no 'index' page loaded to your site

You have all of the static 'setup' files uploaded, but not the dynamically generated files which Cumulus creates and uploads. Assuming you do have Cumulus running and uploading, and if you haven't changed the configuration in Cumulus, then perhaps you didn't set the site up in the same way that it was previously set up, so the ftp directory in Cumulus is no longer correct. If you tun on ftp logging, the ftplog.txt file will show what's going on.

It has taken me from my original post on thee subject, until now, just to get the files safely FTP'ed back up to my web space - TalkTalk server inaccessibility. So back to the original issue....

If you look at my gauges page, at the bottom are a couple of real time wind gauges, which are doing nothing. Does anyone know how to fix these please?

Those gauges need the realtime.txt file, which should be here: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/m1byt/weather/realtime.txt

You need the three 'realtime' boxes ticked in the internet settings, to get Cumulus to upload that.
