Cumulus Realtime

Post by rayauger »

Hello,

Everything works fine and Cumulusrealtime works too but only if I use your realtime.txt file or upload one myself ( gauges wont change though )

In other words Cumulus does not seem to update that file. here is the realtimeftplog


14:04:08:125 ! HighLevelAsync 0
14:04:08:125 TWSocket will connect to 24.201.245.90:46043

14:04:08:156 >|553-Impossible d'ouvrir ce fichier: No such file or directory|

I went through the Forum and a bit confused about the actual location of the file and/or directory

tkx for your help

Yes, it looks like you have set the wrong ftp directory in Cumulus. It's quite hard to tell you what you need to put without knowing the structure of your web space.

It seems to work http://pages.videotron.com/meteo/gauges.htm the flashgauges are updated I think.

*edit* are you in the US or Canada ? Maybe you should ad a trailing slash for the directory /meteo (I did not notice rhat you used another realtime.txt .

the gauges works fine except the realtime wind data which use the data in the realtime.txt file I uploaded myself using Sandaysoft data.

Cumulusrealtime works fine too. It just does not get new data

http://pages.videotron.com/meteo/live.html

the data shown are the ones from Sandaysoft. One reading.

Adding a leading (not trailing) slash might get it working, but generally it's better to use a 'relative' path, as you have done. You need to put in the path that you would have to go through to get to your meteo directory when you log in. What does you directory structure look like in ftp immediately after you've logged in?

Yvan, may I recommend that you place the following small 'index.html' in the top/root directory of your server - NOT in the 'meteo' sub-directory where the weather files are located.

With this 'index.html' file in the root directory, whomever enters the URL 'http://pages.videotron.com/' (without specifying either the 'meteo' sub-directory or the name of the file for the first page), he/she is automatically taken to the main weather page, the 'index.htm' produced and uploaded by Cumulus:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body></body></html>
With this 'index.html' file in place (in the root directory), users will not get this Vidéotron message "Accès interdit / Access forbiden"... ;)

If and when you add new pages to your site, that 'index.html' file can be modified to contain directions (menu) to the other pages of your site.

Well spotted; that suggests to me that the meteo folder is actually Yvan's home directory and hence he needs to leave the ftp directory in Cumulus blank.

Hello,

Thanks everybody for your help. We finally fixed the issue by setting the directory with only a slash. Might even work if we leave the directory empty. We did not try.

Steve tipped me off by his suggestion to look at the directory structure in the FTP program we are using. They had only a slash.

tkx again and have a great week-end,

Yvan
