Raspberry Pi external programs

[jpsc]

Are these working?

I'd really like to do "cp /home/pi/CMX/web/*.htm /var/www" and have Apache serve the pages

If that won't work can I invoke a script file?

I don't know whether you can use that command directly - you would have to try it - but as far as I know invoking scripts works.

[mcrossley]

But you don't even need an external program to do that, just specify the source and destination paths for the HTML files in the extra file settings.

[jpsc]

I thought the external paths were on the ftp server, not local

[mcrossley]

Not if you don't tick the ftp option.

[jpsc]

OK, I'm in business. Just need to put in some plugins for Apache...

[jpsc]

Actually didn't need to, Raspbian Apache2 just works out of the box.

http://weather.baskervilleheights.uk is the Pi hosted website, I don't know how many connections it would support but for the moment it's running.

John, it works me, not the fastest site, but it gets there. That's some rainfall today! Melt water?

[jpsc]

Vibration, it is highly correlated with wind speed.

Sort of works for me, very slow, especially the gauges page that is like watching paint dry. Think most people will give up and go elsewhere.

[malkie]

The gauges aren't too bad for me (also in the UK), but the trends page never made it.

May be something to do with your uplink connection speed?

Correction, made it second time around. Working OK.

[mcrossley]

It took me two attempts to get the trends page to load too. Once it has cached some files from the first attempt, the second seems to work fine.

Strange, connects from external browsers are slow, I tried it from work today. But my testing on the LAN here seems fine, perfectly usable.

It's an academic exercise really, not expecting the world to be able to connect, but we'll see what improvement a Pi 2 will bring.

Having said that, my isp is not accepting my uploads at the moment, so it is the only way I can see what the pages look like.
