Cumulus and jpgraphs

Sorry for the delay in replying ... I have spent the past days updating and modifying some weather templates... :ugeek:

First, the link you posted to the 'realtime.log' file is not showing the right file - the link point to the 'realtimelog.php' file which must be run (through a server CRON job) at regular intervals to produce the 'realtime.log' file - Cumulus cannot produce the 'realtime.log' file by processing the 'realtimelog.php' script - the 'realtimelog.php' script has to be run by itself (usually through the use of a server CRON job) to produce the 'realtime.log' file - at regular intervals (any time between 1 and 5 minutes) the 'realtimelog.php' script will read the data from 'realtime.txt' and will write that data to the 'realtime.log' file - then the 'realtime.log' file is used by the different PHP scripts to produce the weather graphics. The 'realtime.log' file should look something like this (lines and lines of weather data):

Code:

Looking at the results produced by the 'baro.php' script, they indicate that the 'realtime.log' file is not available or not in the right location.

You need to setup the 'realtimelog.php' script to produce a 'realtime.log' file at regular intervals (between 1 and 5 minutes)?

Am I to understand that the files 'realtime.txt', 'realtimelog.php', 'realtime.log', 'GraphSettings.php', 'baro.php', etc. and the directory 'jpgraph' are all located into the same directory?

If the files mentioned above are all in the same directory, these are the minimum requirements for the 'GraphSettings.php' script:

Code:

$SITE['hloc']           = "./";
$SITE['jpgraphloc']     = "./jpgraph/src/";
$SITE['datafile']       = "realtime.log";

Ah, sure, you can...

The only(?) problem now seems to be it cant find realtime.log

I do not think the 'realtime.log' file is being created/produced - the 'realtime.log' file cannot be produced by running the 'realtimelog.php' script through Cumulus - the 'realtimelog.php' script has to be run by itself (server CRON job) so it read the Cumulus-produced 'realtime.txt' file and cumulatively save that data into the 'realtime.log' file.

As indicated into my previous reply, the use of relative paths has proven to be the easiest way for me to get the scripts to display the weather graphics.

it was not uploading realtimelog.php correctly :oops:

What needs to be the home directory in the realtimelog.php? what files need it?

Here are the settings I have in my 'realtimelog.php' script:

Code:

$SITE['home']     = "./";
$SITE['source']   = "realtime.txt";
$SITE['datafile'] = "realtime.log";

The Cumulus-produced 'realtime.txt' file and the 'realtimelog.php' script are in the same directory - the resulting 'realtime.log' file is also in the same directory.

hmm i didnt notice your last 2 replys...

im try to set it right...

How do i set up cumulus toolbox to process realtimelog.php and where does it makes the new realtime.log?

I have not used the Toolbox in a long time so I cannot remember how to set it up. If you use the setting suggested in the previous message, the 'realtimelog.php' script should produce its 'realtime.log' file in the same directory - on my computer/server, all three files ie: 'realtimelog.php', 'realtime.txt' and 'realtime.log' are in the same directory.

dvandellen · **Posted:** Wed Mar 09, 2011 1:50 pm

i do have the realtime.txt and realtimelog.php in the same directory. But there is no realtime.log

There is a file thats called realtimelog.txt and this is in it:

this is only a little piece...

It looks like a realtime.log file... Is it possible that cumulus takes it and uploads it as a realtime.log file?

EDIT:
Cumulus now uploads realtimelog.txt to http://www.weerstationniawier.nl/nieuwegrafieken/realtime.log .

When i try to open realtimelog.php http://www.weerstationniawier.nl/nieuwegrafieken/realtimelog.php it gives the error:
Warning: fopen(realtime.log): failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\www\weerstationniawier.n\www\nieuwegrafieken\realtimelog.php on line 131 Unable to open file

maybe cumulus cant translate realtimelog.txt to realtime.log right?

what permissions do i have to check? or what should be changed? :?:

Dont get it...

how?

i dont host my website by myself...

beteljuice · **Posted:** Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:15 pm

Whatever ftp program you normally use to transfer files to your webspace will usually have a <right-click> on files / directories where you can view / edit permissions. Or you may be able to do it from a control panel on your providers site.

If you don't have a CHMOD option, but you see tick boxes with read, write, execute - then 'tick' the first two write(s)

dvandellen · **Posted:** Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:24 pm

YES

Thanks i changed the rights at my providers website... didnt even know it was possible

Now it says http://www.weerstationniawier.nl/nieuwegrafieken/realtimelog.php, is this ok?

What do i have to change next?, because http://www.weerstationniawier.nl/nieuwegrafieken/baro.php still gives some errors...

beteljuice · **Posted:** Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:38 pm

You've left debug ON in realtimelog.php (you could have just used .php?debug=1)

Still something wrong with the paths for baro.php (GraphSettings.php ?) to find realtime.log, although it does exist.
