Sooooooo Ya.
I set up a website.
Upload the files of the template to the root of my web server?????
I used FileZilla and they appear to be there where the host said to put them.......I don't see any action.
I guess I don't have a clue about this. Didn't seem that complicated.......

Paul is correct. You will want to use a web host to host your new weather 34 template to a specific path.. Once you have uploaded the unzipped weather template you will need to upload (ftp)all those files and folders to your web host. The web host will likely be Linux based therefore you might see reference to "root".
To keep things tidy you don't want to upload the template files to the root directory. It will cause a mess. Ask me how I know
Attention all techies. Kindly avert your eyes..low-tech speak follows below.
To make your web site visible to the outside world it should be uploaded to the public_html folder. But again, to be tidy, you create a new folder, say...davidmc. So your directory path is now: /public_html/davidmc. In the davidmc folder you can create more folders with your ftp software. So for example if you are using Ken True's CU-HWS template and it is the may 20020 release, you can create a folder called CU-HWS. You new path is /public_html/davidmc/CU-HWS. It would be a good idea to create sub-folders within the CU-HWS folder. One folder for each release maybe.
But wait! You might want to try the other weather34 "flavours". So you should create new folders as needed in the folder called davidmc .
Do not worry about instructions to install in the "root". You web host will allow you to point to any folder or path as "root".
From your screen snip I see a folder called "www". I believe "www" folder is a link to the public_html folder so either of these two folders will work. Linux users seem to prefer using the public_html folder as do I.
Once your template is uploaded to your web host which "serves" your files on the world wide web you can now launch the php script that sets up your template.
Depending on how you set up your folders it might be something like this:
You enter this on your browser (firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, etc)..
http://www.morewoodweather.ca/CU-HWS/easyweathersetup.phpI do not use CumulusMX but it should generate a realtime.txt file somewhere. You will have to specify the path in the template's easyweather setup.
Perhaps Paul can assist you there.
Hope that helps a little..
