Topic: KBMG temporarily moved??

[mkutche]

Never messed with the coding but saw this error message this morning... "unable to load KBMG data RC=302 Moved Temporarily"

[Intheswamp]

I got probably the same error but mine is for KPRN (which is a local airport).

Here is what is tucked beside the current weather icon. "Moderate drizzle, Unable to load kprn data rc=302 moved temporarily"

On a big note...  I have a page with nothing but METAR conditions on it...probably 25 different stations.  *All* of them are now reporting that the data is not current and "Updated: Wed, 31-Dec-1969 6:00pm CST"!!!!!

Apparently, something has happened upstream from us????????

Ed

[saratogaWX]

Yep... the NWS has decommissioned weather.noaa.gov and www.nws.noaa.gov sites.  You need to update get-metar-conditions-inc.php to Version 1.14 - 23-May-2016

Since you're running Saratoga templates, I suggest you run check-fetch-times.php?show=versions to show what needs update (and a helpful link to get it from the Updates Tool page).   If running that on your site just shows a series of access tests, then you should update the utility first from here , then upload it and run it again.

Best regards,
Ken

[Intheswamp]

Thanks, Ken!  It might be a few days before I get to sit down with it all, but I'll post back with how it goes.

While I had check-fetch-times.php in front of me I went ahead and ran it in the root directory.  Below are the results...though I'm not sure what I'm looking at.  Would you glance at it for me?  Ed

Ed, that's normal when you just run check-fetch-times.php without any arguments on the URL

Run check-fetch-times.php?show=versions

(with the ?show=versions ) to get the full report on script versions installed v.s. current released versions.

I do notice that your site is running PHP 5.2.17 -- you'll need to run PHP 5.3+ (preferably PHP 5.4 or PHP 5.5 (current)) to have the updates work correctly.. do the PHP update before you update your site.

[Intheswamp]

I wasn't sure how to update the version of PHP...I found out that's easier than falling off a slippery log!!!!

Ok, I ran  http://www.beeweather.com/check-fetch-times.php?show=versions  and below is the output (I'm not sure how to copy it in the nice layout that comes up on my screen). 

I see a lot of notations that I need to update files.  I'll try to delve into doing that before long.

I dreaded doing the PHP update and once I did some research on "how" to do it I found that was simple.  Hopefully these updates will not be too much for this weary brain.

Thanks for all the help, Ken.  You are a very good guy in helping all of us out...for years now!!!!
Ed

[Intheswamp]

Ok.  I've updated everything that I think I needed to....running check-fetch-times tells me that everything is current now.

I'm a paranoid type of person so rather than doing a bulk upload (which would have been fine) I went through and renamed a single file and then uploaded it's update.  I figured I'd have a known, easily found replacement if one of the new files didn't work out.  I only ran into two hiccups along the way...which apparently has nothing to do with the integrity of the new files.

The first one was with get-USNO-sunmon.php.  Once I uploaded it it brought up two error messages on my homepage...errors on certain lines of code.  Seems one line was #368 (or in that vicinity), the other line was very close to that line...within 10 or 12 lines of it.  I reverted to the saved file and all was well.  I then reloaded the new file to replicate the error messages and retrieve the specific line numbers but things seem to be working fine and the errors don't come up now.  Was this some type of current data requiring hiccup that straightened itself out?

The second issue doesn't appear to be associated with the new files (I reloaded the old file and I had the same issue).  This one is wxquake.php.  The problem is that the map comes up for a moment but then is replaced with a Java error message... "Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details."  The individual quake data down below shows fine, just not the map.  I tried this both in Firefox and in Chrome.  Anybody got a (Java?) solution on this one?  This was probably already happening before the update and checking it out brought it to my attention.  I'll check the forum out for recent discussion of this.

Thanks for all the help, Ken.  The current condition issue that started this thread has been corrected.  Now to get wxquake figured out.

Ed

[Intheswamp]

Ok, I got wxquake.php working fine now.  Here's a link to the thread where Ken details what to do...  http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=29801.msg292756#msg292756

I do have one more problem, though, the Past 24 Hours USA Extremes panel isn't working...it says simply "N/A" in the data slots.  I'll work on that one a little later.

Thanks again for the help, Ken!!!!
Ed

[tbrasel]

Ken provided a patch here...

http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=28871.25

[Intheswamp]

Thanks tb for the link.  I had checked out that thread and will revisit it when a little more time allows.  For now I've deleted the extremes from the menubar. 

One problem that I did have was in not adding the files included in the three folders to the existing folders on the server.  I got this done, corrected my city positions on WU-radar.inc.php, and all appears well.   I'll work on the extremes a little later.

Saratoga + Cumulus = PRIMO WIN!!!!!!!

[mkutche]

I'm getting this error again and I haven't touched anything. http://prntscr.com/dg9xo8

[saratogaWX]

Since the RC= shows no error code, it was likely a temporary connectivity issue between your webserver and tgftp.nws.noaa.gov server (used for the raw METAR reports).

When I first viewed your wxmetar.php page, there were three stations showing RC=404 Not Found (odd), then a page reload displayed those METAR correctly.

I did a view-source of  wxmetar.php?cache=refresh&debug=y and saw

<!-- GET /data/observations/metar/stations/KBMG.TXT HTTP/1.1
      Host: tgftp.nws.noaa.gov  Port: 80 IP=140.90.101.79-->
<!-- HTTP stats:  dns=0.002 conn=0.064 put=0.001 get(16 blocks)=0.059 close=0.001 total=0.126 secs -->
<!-- fetch function elapsed= 0 secs. -->
<!--Unable to write cache ./cache/metarcache-KBMG.txt -->

but I didn't see such messages on the other METAR that were fetched.

Looking at check-fetch-times.php?show=info shows

Settings.php Cache file directory in $SITE['cacheFileDir']='./cache/' exists, with permissions=drwxrwxrwx [0777]
..Wrote 104 bytes to ./cache/test.txt successfully, then deleted test file. Cache directory is fully functional.

So it's likely it is just the file permissions on ./cache/metarcache-KBMG.txt that need to be changed (or the file deleted and let it be created automatically with the proper permissions).

[Intheswamp]

I'm a little late to this, but figured I'd throw in my 2-cents worth.  I've got a page with 27 different METAR stations listed and just pulled the page up to check it...all appears fine other than the usual "NOT Current" notice on a few of them. 

FWIW
Ed

[pbuck]

tgftp.nws.noaa.gov site has been up and down for the past couple of days: it's fine and then all its data disappears & then it's fine again in the span of 15 minutes. (site is up, but returns 'file not found' on all requests)

Since that's a major source of raw weather observations and forecasts, it's also a major source of headaches when it's flakey.

Anyone know why?

[saratogaWX]

It's the server that they moved TO from the old www.nws.noaa.gov server that they deprecated a while back.

Perhaps their update process is using direct uploads of the METAR txt instead of doing upload-to-temp-and-rename which makes the smallest window for a 404. 

[pbuck]

Worse than simply missing a file here or there, the whole damn filesystem is gone! [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

[Intheswamp]

Hmmm...ok, it looks like my METAR page is still functioning.    BUT, looks like a bunch of my NOAA satellite images and whatnot are AWOL....one gives me a FORBIDDEN notice. 

Ed

[mkutche]

Weird I lost a few files this morning and the coding was all jacked up.. fixed it and this was after i deleted the metar cache files.. very odd

[saratogaWX]

I use the same code as get-metar-conditions-inc.php in the regional network conditions collectors -- I see sporadic failures (with 404) for METARs that were previously working... something is amiss with the tgftp.nws.noaa.gov server.   I'll try to send their webmaster a heads-up message.

Ahh.. no need to send a message.  http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/tgstatus/ shows
