json error on the guages page

Hi. I'm hoping that someone can help with this. Two days ago I had never even seen a Raspberry Pi. I've learned much over the last 48hrs. Mainly that I'm not as clever as I thought!

Anyway, having sorted my way through installing Raspbian, mono, samba and running the Pi (model B rev2) 'headless' via Putty I have got Cumulus running, talking to a spare weather station console and updating test pages on my website. The only thing not working is the gauges page which has a scrolling banner across the top displaying a json error. I'm at the edge of my envelope of understanding. If someone could take a look and suggest where I've gone wrong I'd be very grateful. Thanks. It's here -

Your realtimegauges.txt file is the input template -
http://www.astroadventures.co.uk/weathe ... gauges.txt - i.e it has web tags rather than real data. Have you ticked the 'process' box for that file?

Ah, thanks Steve and also sorry. I was just re-reading your excellent installation instructions and saw that whole topic covered. Not sure how I missed it first time round! A case of trying to master too many new things in one go I think.

Just a quick update. I used '/web/realtimegaugesT.txt' in the local filename field and I still got the error message on the gauges page. Eventually I just copied realtimegaugesT.txt into the CumulsMX root folder and it all works great. I probably made a rookie error somewhere but it might save someone else a bit of head scratching.
