Can you manually update the script and see if that works?

I'm betting it is an FTP connection issue between your machine and the server. I think you are allowed 3 connections simultaneously with that plan. Its connecting when it can and updating then.

You may want to try this:

https://www.cronjob.de/

It is free to setup and use. Its written in German, but can be translated. This would eliminate you using Task Scheduler on your machine and the script should update with no issues.

I agree John. If he is paying $10 a month he has  standard package 1 which has 3 FTP connections. I use standard package 3 and have 5 FTP connections. That is probably the answer!

Mike,

When I try to manually update your river page, I get this message:

Next update after Monday September 2nd, 2013 10:44 PM EDT

Looking at the river-config.php file, I see this line:

$TotalTime = ((4*60*60)-180); // Time of delay. *Note the -180 is to avoid missing the next run time.
                       //            *Time listed above is 4 hours.

That equals 14,400 seconds for the 4 hours.  Try changing the time in the parentheses to 900, which is 15 minutes, and see what happens.

ok i changed to $TotalTime = ((900)-180); // Time of delay. *Note the -180 is to avoid missing the next run time.
                       //            *Time listed above is 4 hours.

Well I tried updating the file and still get the same response.  Instead of 900, try 1*60*5 in its place. Once you've updated the file, you may have to wait 15-20 minutes to see if it actually works.

[mkutche]

ok how do i manually update to see what it says now?

[Maumelle Weather]

Use this:

http://www.gosportwx.com/River/river-fetch.php

It still says the same thing currently.

odd i changed it to 1*60*5

[Maumelle Weather]

That makes me wonder if we need to wait and see if it updates on its own.
