It would appear that you have “mint.e-rice.net” set as the remote directory to upload the clientraw.txt to and that would not appear to be valid…

Generally a remote directory would be something along the lines of “/www/weather” or “/www” but not a domain name…

If you have set FTP information in your “Real time client/ftp…” setup screen maybe post a screen shot of what you have entered would help…

The problem is that in the FTP set up you have the name of the server “mint.e-rice.net” plugged in instead of the name of the directory in the remote directory box so where you have

mint.e-rice.net

you should have

/web

if you aren’t using a subdirectory

or

/web/zzzzzz

where zzzzzz is the name of the subdirectory

(I’m on that same server

Ok, I think it’s working. I put /web in the Remote directory. This is what’s up loading now.

My web site is www.waterlilyweather.com and I dont see any thing.
Once it gets uploaded, is this were I put my serial number in the wdlconfig xml file?
The more I read about how to do this the more I get confused.

http://www.waterlilyweather.com/clientraw.txt
thats there
you now need to upload the other files needed to your web site, like the .xml config file, the .swf flash movie file and the .html file
you can use wd’s built in ftp manager, see under action, manager our ftp web server

6

I did all that, hopefully I did it correct.
What do I do now?

7

What is the address your wdl html file is located at?

It doesn’t appear to be at http://www.waterlilyweather.com/index.html or http://www.waterlilyweather.com/index.htm

Did you rename the index.html file that comes with the download or have you placed it in another directory?

-Bob

8

I have http://www.waterlilyweather.com. Do i need to add the index.html to the end?

9

You would need to upload the following files, via FTP to your web space…

index.html
wdlv4_10.swf
wdlconfig.xml

If you leave the html file named index.html then when someone accesses your website they would see your WDL file by default…

If you already uploaded the index.html file it doesn’t appear to be in your main web directory and maybe you uploaded it to another directory?

-Bob

10

win I go to manager our ftp I get c:/wdisdplay. the index.html, and the other files are not there.

11

I think maybe we may be talking about two separate things then…

Brian and I were referring to setting up Weather Display Live and possibly you are just trying to set up Weather Display basic web page?

If you want to have Weather Display upload files to your site then this FAQ may help:
http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/13162

If you are trying just to setup Weather Display Live then you would need to download WDL from here:
http://www.weather-display.com/files.php

“Weather Display Live v4.10”

Then unzip that file and you will find the files I mentioned…

-Bob

12

OK I have done both things. Weather Display upload files to your site folowed the direction and download WDL.
Still can not enter the s/n in wdiconfig.xml.
Thanks for your help…

13

Where are the files you have uploaded to your site?

The html file, the .swf file and the .xml file? What is the URL where we can see them on your web server?

-Bob

14

My URL is waterlilyweather.com I think. I guest I did not upload The HTML file, the .SF file and the .XML file correct. I thought I did. My Mom is doing my web page. She tells me there not uploaded. Win I go back to manager our FTP web server all i get is wdisplay in the drop down box.

Hi again,

You have an index file uploaded about Water Lilies :slight_smile:

and I assume you are Jeff?

You will need to upload the three files mentioned from the WDL download.

Now if you upload the HTML file named as it is in the download, index, it will overwrite your current page.

You may want to rename the file to something like WeatherLive.html then upload it (it won’t make any difference to WDL) just don’t rename the other two files…

Once you have uploaded them properly you would be able to access it by:
http://www.waterlilyweather.com/WeatherLive.html (if you use my suggestion)

Hope this helps some…

-Bob

bob,
I will rename the index file to weatherlive. I do not know how to upload the files?

17

Hi again,

Usually using an FTP client. Someone either uploaded or created the current index file that is there now… Most likely they created the file locally and then used FTP to upload it. If so they may be able to show you.

The other option would be to:

Click Control Panel and then select FTP/internet/metar/email and then Manual Upload/Run a program…

Click Choose the file and then locate the renamed WeatherLive.html file and then press Upload the file now.

Then do the same for the .xml file and the .swf file…

Good luck,
Bob

Pre- built configure question,
not sure how to set up the screenshots. the configuring WDL tells me alter the 2 lines in the index.html file. i dint know how to do this.
this is what my web site looks like. http://www.waterlilyweather.com/

19

for WDL, you need to create a different file name file
e.g live.html
you can do that with notepad.exe
and copy over the index.html file included with the WDL install files
then set the URL to the xml config file, by editing that file with notepad.exe, then saving it
then upload that file to your web site

Hi again,

Your main WD page appears to have been updated recently 6:21 PM Dec 14, 2005 and as you are West Coast that would appear to me to be recent…

Assuming you plan on using WeatherLive for the file name you would first right click on the file name, index.html, on your local computer where you unzipped it and then select “Rename” then alter the name to WeatherLive.html. Then you would again right click on the file and choose Open with, and in the list you should see Notepad then click that and you can alter the code contained in the file.
