Hi,
For my realtime http://www.komokaweather.com/wifi-console/realtime.txt and json files I have it as per attached.
I had it working with Brian's earlier PWS script but doesn't work anymore likely due to updated PHP version.
Hope this helps,

Paul

That sorted it. Thanks Paul. Top man
One more question if i can be cheeky

I can only see my site if i add /pwsWD after the .kesug.com. I think it's an index file issue so how can see my site without adding pwsWD at the end? I uploaded all the pws files into the htdocs (root) when i started. If i omit the pwsWD i get a forbidden error.
Thanks

Hi,
I am not very knowledgeable on those things, but likely because you have the script in a /pwsWD subfolder.  If it was in your site's root folder it likely would display with just http://www.llanelliweather.kesug.com
But I also believe you can do some settings at your hosting to have http://www.llanelliweather.kesug.com automatically load (redirect) http://www.llanelliweather.kesug.com/pwsWD/index.php

If available would you be so kind to share the download link on your script.  I've tried to find what is causing mine to fail and can only find this error in my error_log.

Code: [Select]

and line 29 is

Yes no problem...where do i find the script you want Paul?

Hi,
Your pws; mine is the CU version initially working with Brian U in 2015 and likely not updated for current PHP.


Enjoy,
Paul

Sorry Paul don't understand. You need to give a newbie like me holding hands directions i'm afraid

Hi,
No problem.  Just asking from where you downloaded the pwsWD template.  Presumably you downloaded it from somewhere in a zip format onto your computer, and then you unzipped it.


Enjoy,
Paul

Hi Paul...yes. Downloaded from pws dashboard and unzipped on my computer. Notuploaded zipped and then unzipped using hosts' file manager.

After changing some servers I and Steve were able to make it run.

What has been done is that we are sending the REALTIME.TXT file via an HTTP request to the server. The request is intercepted by a PHP script, which saves the file on the server in place of the previous one. So, it's like FTP, but safer, and faster. Steve has fresh data on the server every 3 seconds. You can see the wind updates.

In the next iteration of the software for the WiFiLogger, HTTP requests will also be sent as HTTPS, as nowadays the blocking of the open HTTP port by server administrators is starting. We need to keep up with the times.

I hope Steve won't mind if you take a look at his website. https://www.llanelliweather.info
