How do I fix that Windy? I believe I have all my things setup correctly, unless I am missing something. Almost got it.

Chuck this FAQ should do the job :slight_smile:

Good job so far :slight_smile:

Bob,

Here is pic of my realtime settings. Tell me if they are correct.


Realtime settings.doc (118 KB)

note that the ftp settings you have set there, and you have ticked, use these ftp settings, is really only intended if you wanted to use different ftp settings than what is set in the main ftp settings in the connections setup in the ftp/internet setup
alot of people do that, never mind

do you have the clientrawrealtimeftp.exe program running, and WD running?

You also need to make sure you have “Control Panel - FTP - Connections - Main Internet Switch” Turned on…

-Bob

I have the main switch on. It is still not updating. Windy both of the programs are running.

Chuck

you should have a yellow flash icon down by the clock
double click on that, to make the real time ftp program come up visible
then check whats happening and if you can post the detaiols here

i suspect the problem is you have the remote directory set wrong
you have www/chucksndweather.info

in the real time ftp setup

that does not look right, the .info on the end

i.e a remote directory is not a URL, thats a commen mistake

Windy,

I do not have a flashing yellow icon in my system tray. I must be missing something.

Chuck

its not so much as flashing, its looks like a yellow flash

you might have closed it down then

restart manualy the clientrawrealtimeftp.exe program bu double clicking that program where you have WD installed to get it running again

Ok…

In your settings you have…

“Do not show an icon in the system tray” ticked so untick that so you at least can see that it is running…

And as Brian pointed out /www/chucksndweather.info will not be correct…

Maybe just /www not sure depends on your host set up.

-Bob

I am having all kinds of problems. When I restarted my computer and brought up WD my VP2 console froze and no it will not do transmit to get data. This crap is driving me nuts and of course my site not updating properly is not helping at all. Very frustrating.

Chuck

I finally got it to work. Just kept on playing with it and it finally updates properly. I would like to thank all how helped me out. I have learned a lot in just the past couple of days. Please check it out to see if it works. Thanks again to all.

Chuck

Chuck looking good to me :slight_smile:

Now you need to sign up as a clientraw provider… FREE :slight_smile:

Then your station will be available for those running MML to have displayed on their maps…

Nice job Chuck. Now I’ll be able to track those Alberta Clippers!

Have changed it now… but still no luck in firefox?

Just have another question. The realtime ftp works for about 5 minutes or so and stops working or a second icon appears in the system tray. I don’t know what is going on but still working with it.

Chuck

Hey Unripegreenbanana.

Your config file is mucked…

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity

You may want to reupload it or check and make sure you haven’t lost a required element…

-Bob
