I have consoleWD working. I am struggling to get FreshWDL to load data.
I continue to get FreshWDL: Data Currently Unavailable
I see the copied client files in the directory /var/www/html/fresh. However, if I nano that file it comes up blank.
In the /consolewdfiles those files do have information in them.
Is there more documentation available besides this?
There is a reference in that post to read the documentation for the changes you can make.
Thank you for any assistance.

Hi Greg
There is some more documentation for FreshWDL available in one of the files that form part of the package, but I think your problem is more on the Pi than with FreshWDL.
One thing to check is, are you running consolewd with sudo or just as an ordinary user? It’s possible that the copying process doesn’t have the required permissions to write the files into /var/www/html/fresh. If the files are empty that explains why FreshWDL is showing Data Currently Unavailable.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I am running it under systemctl using the script provided in the forum. I need sudo to open the config file. How would you recommend I move forward?
after ls -l for /var/www/html/fresh all files are “root” permission. Is this correct, or do I need to modify something?
Thank you.
Can you show me the output from…
cd /var/www/html
ls -la
cd /var/www/html/fresh
ls -la
Here you go. I included the consolewdfiles permissions at the end just in case.

Thanks for looking at this. I’m learning Pi/Debian slowly.

I wouldn’t say I’m a wizard at it but I’ve used Linux and RPi over a number of year so I’m kinda used to it 
That all looks reasonable. I assume you’ve created your own user on the Pi rather than using the default ‘pi’ account that I used. If you
cd /var/www/html/fresh
cat clientraw.txt
what happens? Do you get an error or just no data?
Time to eat here so my next reply will take somewhat longer!
Yes. I created a separate user - w9iku
after cat clientraw.txt
cat: clientraw.txt: no such file or directory
Enjoy your meal!
I think I see the problem. I think you’ve created the links as
sudo ln -s home/w9iku/clientraw.txt clientraw.txt
without the leading ‘/’. Try deleting the links and re-creating them as
sudo ln -s /home/w9iku/clientraw.txt clientraw.txt
I think it will work then.
PS. I assume w9iku is your callsign? I’m G6FCI 
Bingo! It is live!
That is correct. W9IKU is my callsign. This page will be available on my AREDN mesh node. I appreciate all your help with this.
Thank you.
Greg
I’m glad you got it working. The missing ‘/’ was too subtle to notice initially.
