Converting the files to PHP is not as hard as it appears. The beauty of it would be that once done, you don't have to touch them again. So don;t go putting yourself down thinking you can't do it. If you know HTML enough to get pages up and running, PHP will be quite easy.

I'm sure I could eventually learn what to do. My main problem is lack of time.

As for trimming down cumuluswebtags - two simple rules really:

Anything after a // can be deleted (including the //) as these are purely comments and not needed for processing (you would be surprised how bloated that file is (no people, not knocking it - in line documentation is ALWAYS needed but should be removed for a production file like this)

and

The tags are placed in sections - one of the latter sections (from memory it has a heading) is for alarms. If you aren't showing the alarms on your web site they can be removed without causing a problem.

I do use record lights on the all-time records page if we're talking about the same thing. The only other alarm I have enabled is the wind exceeding 30mph which plays a wav on my netbook. Nothing uploaded for that one.

It is always handy to have a local web server running - XAMPP or WAMP - then you can try all these changes on your local machine before placing them in the Cumulus data directories ready for FTP'ing to your site.

That would be very helpful. I shall investigate, thanks.

Hi Graeme,

Thanks for the link. I watched one of the videos but it was pretty technical for a non-network guru. One question. Where would you run this software from? Logically I would expect it to be installed on the root of my webhosting area so it can monitor all inbound and outbound traffic.

Is that the case or am I just showing my lack of understanding on how you tell it only to read data to and from my account either via login parameters I supply or a http address?

Sorry to sound like a thicko but this is way different to what I expected. :oops:

Can it be configured to measure only the traffic to and from my webhosting servers?


Hi Ray
I have only just started to use this one my self but it does not appear to do a breakdown as you require, it does lots or other stuff though :)
If you are looking for another provider soon, I am on Plusnet and they give an excellent service and are very competitive on price.

Regards

Hi Mark,

I'm still not getting notified of new posts so apologies if I'm late to any.

I'm trialling networkx which does give me an indication of the amount uploaded from my netbook so that's a starter. The fact that my web hoster was able to separate uploads from http downloads suggests you have to run the software on the server itself.

I'll put PlusNet on the shortlist, thanks.
