In your Settings-weather.php, you have: $SITE['WXtags'] = '/home/bensweather/public_html/testtags.php'; // for weather variables .. we're using the old name instead of WDtags.php
$SITE['ajaxScript'] = 'ajaxWDwx.js'; // for AJAX enabled display
$SITE['clientrawfile'] = '/home/bensweather/public_html/clientraw.txt'; // directory and name of Weather-Display realtime.txt file
That indicates that your Weather-Display is set to upload files into your document root, while your Saratoga website is in the live/Base-USA/ directory under your document root.
I'd suggest changing Settings-weather.php to have $SITE['WXtags'] = '../../testtags.php'; // for weather variables .. we're using the old name instead of WDtags.php
$SITE['ajaxScript'] = 'ajaxWDwx.js'; // for AJAX enabled display
$SITE['clientrawfile'] = '../../clientraw.txt'; // directory and name of Weather-Display realtime.txt file
$SITE['HistoryFilesDir'] = '../../'; // directory location for the [month][year].htm history files
$SITE['HistoryGraphsDir'] = '../../'; // directory location for the YYYYMMDD.gif graphic daily report files
and change ajaxWDwx.js from var clientrawFile = 'clientraw.txt'; // location of clientraw.txt relative to this page on website
to var clientrawFile = '/clientraw.txt'; // location of clientraw.txt relative to this page on website
or var clientrawFile = '../../clientraw.txt'; // location of clientraw.txt relative to this page on website
to match the real location of clientraw.txt on your website.
The difficulties are due to installation in a subdirectory, rather than the customary installation in the document root. Also, it is better to always use relative directory addressing -- you may change hosts in the future, and then the absolute file paths to your document root would likely change.
Hope this helps...
