Looks fine. To get the 'realtime' wind gauges at the bottom of the gauges page to work, you will need to select the 'realtime' option in the internet settings.

ps. how do i set auto page refresh? if it exists

The W3C discourage the use of auto page refresh: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-CORE-TECHS/ ... ge-refresh

If you really want to do it, look up 'meta refresh' in Wikipedia.

There are better ways (using Ajax and Javascript) to do this where just the data is refreshed and not the entire page, but it's fairly advanced and you should probably get to grips with HTML first, in my opinion.

site going good but i enabled real time in internet options but its not on my site. i have made auto refresh every 30 seconds so i like that setting now i just wanna experiment with styles my own picture and fonts.

Also i have a really nice picture at 1024 x 768 and renamed it to picture and replaced the picture uploaded on my webstite but iys still the same. i want my new picture.

Please turn on ftp logging, wait a few minutes, and then attach the realtimeftplog.txt file from the Cumulus installation folder. Actually, before you do that, have you tried restarting Cumulus?

The background image has to be called picture.jpg and go in the images folder. Yours is still the original: http://www.ballina-nsw-weather-from-sto ... icture.jpg

ok the picture i tried worked but it did not suit so i put back the original.

i really want to know about real time now since its not happening.

ill attach the xml please see what i did wrong steve.

The realtime.txt file isn't being uploaded to your site, which is required for Cumulus Realtime, and the bottom two gauges on the gauges page. That's why I asked for the realtimeftplog.txt file, to see why it isn't being uploaded.

ohk well here ill load it for you ok.

attached below.

The ftp server is returning an error:

19:12:55:199 >|553 Could not create file.|

What exactly have you supplied for the 'directory' in the internet settings? It's best to supply a relative path (i.e. without a slash on the front).

directory in cumulus is

ballina-nsw-weather-from-stormboy.com

all other things work fine for me

thats where realtime.txt and realtimeftp is too

Perhaps your web space provider doesn't allow text files to be uploaded - some don't.

it says all files types supported and ill ask anyway in a live chat will report it next

it must work look

http://www.ballina-nsw-weather-from-sto ... altime.txt

The realtime.txt file is there now, and the gauges on the gauges.htm page are working.

For a start it shouldn't end in ".com" that is part of an URL. Secondly, this is your base directory and most web servers I know of, don't use this in the FTP settings. Try nothing in the directory in Cumulus.

EDIT... Looks like you've got it working

No, it's correct, it's how his web space is set up, to support multiple domains. The domain name is the base directory. Mine is the same.
