Per,
It just occurred to me that your host may have upgraded to PHP5 from PHP4. Here is a PHP page that may help. Just place this page in your WeatherFlash directory on the server and call it as a web page from the internet. It will show if your permissions are set correctly and what version of PHP is being used. If it is PHP5 then do a search of this forum and find my post that has the changes that need to be made. Thanks to Ken True for these. Hope this helps.
Jay
