New user needs a bit of guidance on proper setup

Post by JohnWN »

we are evaluating Cumulus as a replacement for Weatherlink. I went through the steps listed at http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Simple_Website_setup and I believe the only "option" we used was to direct the upload to htdocs/weather

Unfortunately, the gauges for Wind Speed and Direction appear to be missing at the bottom of http://www.macsailing.org/weather/gauges.htm
(Don't pay any attention to temp and humidity, since we seem to be having trouble with those sensors and need to get up on the roof to check the physical station.)

We are also missing the moon phase graphic at http://www.macsailing.org/weather/index.htm. The .bmp file does appear to be available under /htdocs/weather/images (windgauge.png also appears to be available in that subfolder)

We have made no alterations to the standard Cumulus html contents. (Although we plan to do so if we decide to make the switch.)

Thanks for any advice!

When your server is asked for any of the images, e.g. http://www.macsailing.org/weather/images/moon.bmp it is returning a redirect to http://marinaaquaticcenter.org/images/moon.bmp and that file does not exist.

MANY thanks, Steve!
I see now that my redirect from our standard weather page to the test Cumulus page was completely lame. :oops:
I have modified the redirect to go directly to http://www.marinaaquaticcenter.org/weather/index.htm (still don't see the moon.bmp and current wind gauges, but perhaps another upload is necessary to set things right).
I hope to get back to the facility this afternoon to do some more testing.
