To put everything back together
I will continue to support the current 2021-lts release for as long as possible probably at least another 2 years.
As long as it doesn’t cost me any too much extra money.
Donations:
There has never been a mandatory subscription for PWS_Dashboard.
All 3234 48 donations for PWS_Dashboard are completely voluntary in my opinion.
Every donor who has used an e-mail address at “Paypal” has received a “Thank you” mail.
Make sure you use the “donation” in paypal. Do not choose “order” as I have to refund the amount.
Support:
If you have a problem with the current PWS_Dashboard:
[ul]
[li]Try the debug console first: . . . /pwsWD/PWS_module_test.php[/li]
[li]You may be able to solve the problem yourself with any error messages.[/li][/ul]
If you don’t find a solution:
Create a new topic in this forum, the subject has to describe the problem.
Always state the URL of the website, also in subsequent posts.
Use a screenshot, Use a screenshot, Use a screenshot, Use a screenshot, . . . .
Support by me is limited from Thursday, November 24 to Tuesday, December 6
Very little to no internet,. restricted to a few hours / day. . Have to use an iPad.
I am helping a friend with his website and have problems with installing PWS.
The old script that I used worked fine until PHP 8 so I needed to upgrade to PWS, I started with a clean sheet so nothing should be messed up with old stuff.
I am getting a error with the last step in the testing processes. Scrolling through this topic I installed the debug version of “startHere.php” and the following output is giving.
check 1 : $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]: result = OK, server = www.luister-post-zutphen.nl
check 2.1 : Your current PHP version is : 8.0.26
check 2.2 : CURL support: result = OK

I already setup the rest of the site and I notice also that not all modules are loaded. For example the Menu is not working and there is no footer and a few more weird things. I think this is related to the following.
Different problems. The error in startHere is a DNS error. The scripts can not find the PWS_Dashboard server which contains the updates.
There is an adapted script to solve that problem so that updates can be downloaded.
Download the changed script at http://discourse.weather-watch.com/p/564987
Unzip the download and upload that “PWS_updates” script.
Make sure that you retrieve and apply all updates by running . . n.nl/weerstation/station/PWS_updates.php
The fatal errors
You can test with error-reporting switched on
=> . . . n.nl/weerstation/station/_test.php
This seems to be a problem with PHP 8, which was solved in the current updates.
I attach the latest version of the problem script if you can not use the update procedure because the DNS problem.
I have downloaded both files and uploaded them to the server and I did the update.
When I visit the site now it looks like its all fixed!
However now the …/weerstation/station/PWS_updates.php gives the following error Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 0 of 20733 bytes in …/weerstation/station/PWS_updates.php on line 229 Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 0 of 20733 bytes in …/weerstation/station/PWS_updates.php on line 229 118Errors retrieving current versions, please come back later
Not sure if this is just because I did refresh that page too fast or not. (I have a cronjob on that page every day at midnight so it can update when needed)
That is a new and nasty error but it should not affect downloading the updates scripts.
Do not use the PWS_updates from that download, use the one you already installed.
If all fails, please sent me a PM or e-mail with the FTP credentials (ftp-server, userID, password)
Then i will try to find what is happening there.

P.S. I attache the zip you should have got downloaded by the update script.
The current 2012_lts version is relative stable so too much users forget to check for updates.
But even with a stable release you should check for updates at least 1 / month.
In the new release you will be warned when there are new updates. Similar to the “stalled files” mark in the footer.
I will include this feature also in this version, first step is included in this month update.
Please take some time to update your 2012_lts version, last update is from today, December 14.
That way we are better prepared for the “year-rollover-problems” and the installation of the DarkSky replacement scripts in March.
@VirtualCrossing testers.
