Cumulus Freezes for 9-17 seconds every minute!

No ignore what Will just posted you need to use your FTP client (FileZilla?) to upload weatherstyle.css as it is a static file and does NOT need to be part of the FTP upload process in Cumulus.

I thought you were using Ken's pages? It looks like you've ticked 'include standard files'?

[pad199207]

I'm panicking now lads lol. You got to understand im very amateurish when it comes to all this!

[pad199207]

Okay...

I have stopped the using the "copy images to folder" setting but to no effect.

Now...

I unticked the resize button and now the freeze is only two or three seconds long, so an improvement...

Since ive done this my website is gone very basic looking at it wont even update?

Well, no he doesn't need to "ignore" me. I was just suggesting something. But yes, what you have said is correct.

[pad199207]

Ive tried to undo everything ive changed but now my site is not updating and is basic

[William Grimsley]

Pad,

First, calm down, it's perfectly fine.

Then, you need to upload the weatherstyle.css file to your website through FileZilla (or your FTP program) to make your website look like it was again.

Then, you need to tick the "Include Standard Images" box in the "Files" tab in Internet Settings in order to display your gauges again on your gauges.htm page.

Though, if you are using Ken's Saratoga Templates then don't do those things and simply upload those .php files to your website through FileZilla (or your FTP program).

Hope this helps...

Will

Thank you Will

But you see a mate helped me set up my website, so i only know the basics

[William Grimsley]

That's ok! I'm glad to help!

Ok, well doing those things should do the trick!

[William Grimsley]

Hi Pad,

Looking at your site it looks like you use Ken's Saratoga Templates so all you need to do is simply delete "index.htm" off your website using FileZilla (or your FTP program).

Then, you need to untick the "Include Standard Files" box in the "Files" tab in Internet Settings but tick the "Include Standard Images" box.

Hope this helps...

Will

Thanks lads...

I dont understand.... i undid everything that i changed earlier and its still not responding...

Okay im in the FTP Directory and have found the index.htm... how do i delete it?

Are you sure that if i delete it something wont go terribly wrong?

Pad

EDIT: my website should look exactly like this www.laoisweather.com

[PaulMy]

Is this what you want? http://www.naasweather.com/index.php

Paul

[pad199207]

Yes!!!!!! Thats what i want

[PaulMy]

I don't want to add to some confusion in posts here, but it appears that you have both index.htm and index.php on your site. With index.htm I get the standard Cumulus page but unformated likely due to the weatherstyle.css file not uploaded (or not in expected folder). With index.php your Saratoga templates page appears and is updating. Only if you do not use or want the standard Cumulus pages then as suggested by others you should untick "Include Standard Files" and can also delete the index.htm file on your website.
http://www.naasweather.com/ gets the standard but unformated Cumulus page
http://www.naasweather.com/index.htm gets the same as above
http://www.naasweather.com/index.php gets Saratoga template page

Removing the index.htm (and also stopping it from being regularly ftp by your Cumulus settings) should then have http://www.naasweather.com/ get you your Saratoga page, I think.

You have to understand (and remember) when a URL is entered in a browser without a file name (such as, for example, 'http://www.naasweather.com/wxindex.php') the server will look successively for some very specific files - for example, my Apache Web server look for the following files:

Code: Select all

index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm

Since I do not like to place the code for my Web page inside a file with the name 'index.xxx' or 'default.xxx' or 'home.xxx', I have created three redirection files: 'index.htm', index.html' and 'index.php'. The code they contain is the same:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
  <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=wxindex.php" />
</head>
<body></body></html>

The above code forces an immediate redirection to 'wxindex.php' which is the standard starting script (main home page) for the PHP/AJAX Website Template Set.

Users/visitors will then be able to get directly (or rather be immediately redirected) to your main home page by just entering 'http://www.naasweather.com/' without specifying a specific page...
