Do you mean the gauges which are on the default gauges page supplied with Cumulus? Could you give a link to your web page, please?

What do you mean when you say you have uploaded the realtime.txt file? You don't upload that, Cumulus does.

Your realtime.txt file isn't being uploaded to the correct place, it should be here: http://epip.net23.net/realtime.txt but that gives a 404.

Have you looked at the FAQ? http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#The_.2 ... 7t_working

Could you please tell me where in the help it says that you have to upload the realtime.txt file, so I can correct it?

I've just looked up net23.net, and they're part of 000webhost.com, who are listed in the wiki as unsuitable as they don't allow .txt files to be served: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Webspace

So your realtime.txt file may well be there but it's not accessible.

The only one I'm aware of is the one listed in the wiki - Freeglovine.
