Steel gauges (again)

Post by Bearwolf »

Sorry for this post: Have followed the wiki to instal steel gauges but have got to the same point twice. I have obviously not done something quite right. Both times I have got as far as attached image.Would this photo indicate something obvious to someone cleverer than me? The seconds countdown work...
Thanks

You have included the FTP folder path in the paths for the images and the realtimegauges.txt file.

The realtime path in gauges.js should be "realtimegauges.txt" and the images should be "images/"

That's because the last time that Cumulus uploaded the realtimegauges.txt file was at 08:21 - http://bearwolf.uk/weather/realtimegauges.txt

Have you configured the realtime uploads correctly? How did that copy get there at 08:21 - did Cumulus upload it? It seems odd that it would do it at 08:21 and then stop doing it.

That would probably be around the time I reinstalled cumulus and steel gauges. Most definitely my mistake. Am completely new to FTP-ing and Filezilla. Will have another go at a fresh install both to pc and website. mcrossley's advice re realtime path in gauges.js is probably where I went wrong in the first place!
