I would like to download the token for PWS Dashboard but every time I submit it tells me my URL is invalid.
Hi mde2960,
Sorry for the inconveniences.
Attached a screenshot of the two screens needed to download.
Step 1: at “. . .ard.com/_request_token.php” you enter some data.
And click the button.
Step 2: the next screen “. . . oard.com/_receive.php” loads which contains the link.
When clicking that link
Step 3: the download should be put into your download folder
I just tested it two times and two times it worked as planned, the downloads arrived in my browsers download folder.
Question 1: Which step do you get an error message?
And what is the exact text of the message? Often there is a number in the message for me to check the logs.
Question 2: Can you post the URL the scripts are complaining about?
Succes,
Wim
When I click submit button at the bottom.
URL for your website seems invalid. Needs manual checking. (54)
Error occurred: Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds
Your data:
[name] => Michael Dean Evans
[email] => [email protected]
[email_check] => [email protected]
[region] => usa
[datasrc] => MB_rt
[url] => https://weatherexpert.net
That site is inaccessible for me, so quite probably for the PWS site too. Is it definitely online and publicly accessible?
The process to issue a token checks that the web site exists, that’s why you get the error when requesting one.
I want to make a site with my weather station but need the token to get the files to produce the site.
Wim can probably generate one for you manually but try creating a simple Hello World page that you can access on that URL and try again.
Normally the first step is to make a site accessible.
Even when using a reputable provider, that is not a trivial task.
When opening your home with a local NAS-website server it is more than some can handle.
If installing complex websites, one often need support.
Without a internet accessible website, support is either impossible or very time consuming
- for you whenmaking screenshots, uploading files a.s.o.
- and for the people who try to help you
That way, if there are problems with the dashboard , outside help can use the debug console, inspect files and check the generated html.
If you do not need any support, use a real website URL f.i. google.com then you get your download.
Succes,
Wim
What kind of NAS? I host my site ( Willowsford Farm - Home (novawx.dscloud.me)) on a Synology NAS. There are few key steps to do so but it’s fairly simple.
I did and it still says it’s invalid.
My domain is registered with Squarespace formally Google.
It takes a bout 24 - 48 hours before a domain-name is updated in all DNS-servers around the world.
As said before, just use an existing domain name like www.google.com and the download will start.
