I have installed WDL 1.08 as per the instructions, however I just get a ‘page loading’ progress bar and no display of data.
Web page is: www.utting.org/weather/weather.html
Setup is WD 10.13v FTPing clientraw.txt to the /weather directory.
Any help much appreciated.

The clientraw and the config file both appear to be correct and the page source looks good too. However can you check that the wdlv1_08.swf file is in the same directory? It seems to me that the file is never downloaded from the webserver. If the swf file is in the correct place it would seem that the webserver is not downloading it for some reason.

hi
maybe, try, having it all set to use the root directory instead?
try, ticking use these settings insead, in the real time ftp setup, and set the remote directory as the root…
(then restart the clientrawrealtimeftp.exe)
try taking the www out…
ie:
wdlv1_08.swf?http://www.scientificsales.co.nz/clientraw.txt
to
wdlv1_08.swf?http://scientificsales.co.nz/clientraw.txt
windy/softvark/craiglove,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried taking out the ‘www’, but no luck.
I tried putting in the full path for the .swf file, i.e. <EMBED src=“http://www.utting.org/weather/wdlv1_08.swf?http://www.utting.org/weather/clientraw.txt…” but no luck again. (Yes, the .swf file is in the /weather directory).
I tried putting everything in the root directory a couple of days ago, but that didn’t cure the problem either.
In true IT fashion, I’ll keep on fiddling!
Any further suggestions welcomed.
Nigel.
lt sounds suspiciously like the webserver won’t serve up swf files. This can happen sometimes when over zealous system administrators lock everything down! A quick way to check this would be to rename the extension from .swf to .txt or similar. Of course the display would be garbage but it would prove if it was webserver restrictions or not.

I had the same thing happen, and after checking my clientraw.txt file, the dag-gone thing was empty. (try deleting your clientraw.txt on the server) Something went out to lunch somewhere. Deleted the ‘empty’ clientraw.txt on my ISP server and it all started working again. WD was doing its thing, but my server side had a problem of replacing the file for some reason… :?
losmon1,
Thanks for the suggestion, but the clientraw.txt file seems OK. It contains:

I re-downloaded the source files and re-uploaded them to my website but without success. My ISP’s comment was “… the .swf file is not working …”. Wrong. It works just fine on my home PC. I have gone back to them for more answers.
WDL is such a great-looking program that I am VERY frustrated I can’t get it working. I suspect the problem will turn out to be the responsibility of an over-zealous admin at my hosting service.

I can’t even get to your main page without the Weather on the end are you sure the address is right??
