Re: template hosting problem
Hi Steve,
it runs perfectly fine from a folder and I would even recommend doing so, on Linux servers it does not work properly in root (icons). Make sure you have the path correct.

Re: template hosting problem
Hi Jachym, I was planning to move MT to the root of my server, so the users will just need to type meteocaldas.com instead of meteocaldas.com/mtp.
My idea was to make MT the entrance of the site, so now I m a little confused.
Is there a way that users simply tipe meteocaldas.com and enter MT right away, without MT beeing on the root?
Thanks
http://www.meteocaldas.com/mtp

Re: template hosting problem
download this file, change the extension from .txt to .html and save it as index.html in your server root.
Before you do it, change the "template" inside that file to the name of the folder you use (mtp)

It worked like a charm... and I never thought it could be so easy
You are a genius!
(I am not leaving it working by now, because former index.htm was from Cumulus and now I want to transfer all cumulus files to a different folder and update all the old links to realtime.txt... and to avoid any probems, I first need to create a backup and study the problem a little better, etc, etc.)
Once again thank you so much for this fantastic way to solve my problem!

Re: template hosting problem
Thanks Jachym, the small forwarding file works much faster than the internal forwarding settings of my ISP, which randomly kills CSS for (equally random) files.

Re: template hosting problem
Steve,
Have you done the initial setup? As you follow down the setup page there is a place to set the path. If your meteo folder is one step below the root then enter /meteo/ Under that just put the URL of your site leaving off the /meteo/.

Re: template hosting problem
Steve,
Glad you got it sorted. Are you using the WD MeteoTemplate API upload?

Re: template hosting problem
Yes it seems to work well...
http://www.bwsrh.com/meteo/indexDesktop.php
next step is to upgrade to 17...I need to find what it takes to do that.... there may also be a bugfix
that was done on 16 that I think I need to do before the upgrade to 17...not sure I fully understand this process.
thought I remember reading that each fix or update has instructions in the zip but I'm missing it somewhere...
Appreciate ur help..... thanks

Re: template hosting problem
I was having a similar issue whereby my web page was not loading correctly when the web address was entered as "www" instead of "http." The home icon would be missing and there would be weird random letters or numbers in places. It was driving me crazy. It was a little frustrating. If I just entered the address as "BullardWeather.com" without anything else it was fine. I believe I fixed the issue using the text file referenced. I made one small change.Jachym wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2017 6:04 pm download this file, change the extension from .txt to .html and save it as index.html in your server root.

http://www.meteotemplate.com/web/wiki/index.txt
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://BullardWeather.com/template/index.php" />
This forced every address entered to be converted to the simple "BullardWeather.com address with the new folder added. So far any variation is changed and works fine.

Re: template hosting problem
I originally installed meteotemplate on a folder with no problems, then I decided to move to the root of a new hosting with domain and had a problem with the icons folder (404 error). Then I moved the template to a subfolder (eltiempo) and ask to the server for the problem with the icons folder and they fixed it. In this moment the template still in the eltiempo folder, redirected with a index.html but I think am going to move everything to the root only for a cosmetic reason of the URL showed in address bar.
Besides icons folder, is there any other trouble installing template on root?
