Where Do I Put Template, Which One Dupes Cumulus Website

Post by ekb606 »

Please forgive me if this has been answered a thousand times, I just can't seem to get the right keywords into search.

Anyway, when I try to access my Cumulus site all I get is the index list. When I open the .swf file all I get is a display of the two wind gauges. Since my local display is fine I assume the issue is not related to the interaction between Cumulus and my Davis VP2

The problems are obviously related to the fact that I can't figure out how to work with the templates so there is no .htm or .html or index file on the server. I could just copy one of the template index files to the server and I'd probably get something to open, but my reading indicates that isn't the way it's supposed to be done ... I just can't find any reference to how it is supposed to be done.

Please help ASAP, I'm trying to get this up and running for a birthday party on Monday. FYI, I'd like to use the same style as on the Cumulus site, with both the cumulus and Davis forecasts etc.

Thank you.

Could you please explain what you are trying to do? Are you just trying to get the standard Cumulus web site working? Have you followed the instructions in the wiki, starting here - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Website_setup ?

If you have entered all of your ftp details, but you are not seeing the pages where you expect, a likely explanation is that you have entered the directory incorrectly.

Can you give a link to your web site, please?

Thanks very much ... I didn't use the Wiki, just the help file and the PDF support file, some how I missed the part about uploading the templates directory.
