I'm putting together a remote weather station using WeeWx and ARPS radio. 
It's a bit of a drive so reliability is very important to me. For that 
reason I've installed the ramdisk according to the WeeWx manual. But I'm 
having problems because I also want to use Weather34 on my home station.

I installed WeeWx, PHP, Apache and Weather34. Everything is working, the 
default WeeWx html page and the Weather34 html & PHP page.

Then I installed the ramdisk. I confirmed the path was correct in the weewx 
and apache configs. The WeeWx default page works great.
The weather34 files are in the correct location 
/var/weewx/reports/weather34. I can bring up stationinfo.php and 
easyW34SkinSetup.php OK.
But /var/weewx/reports/weather34/index.php has write permission problems. I 
get:

*Unable to write to the website's folder. Make sure the root of the website 
is writable by your webserver.*
*If you're using Apache on linux, Apache should be running as user 
'www-data' and group 'www-data'. If so, run these commands or adjust them 
for Apache's user:group*
*find . -type d -exec sudo chown www-data:www-data {} \; -exec sudo chmod 
2775 {} \;*
*and*
*find . -type f -exec sudo chown www-data:www-data {} \; -exec sudo chmod 
664 {} \;*
*from within the root of your website's folder, probably located in 
'/var/www/example.com/html/pws.'*
*or, do yourself a huge favor and navigate into your 'html' folder and use 
these 3 commands to automatically set the permissions on all files and 
folders created inside it:*
*chmod g+s .*
*setfacl -d -m g::rwx .*
*setfacl -d -m o::rx .*











*After trying the first two commands (2775&664) I then got  a sad face and 
error 500So I rebooted and tried the last three. Done inside the reports 
folder I got the "Unable to write" screen again.I did the three commands in 
the weather34 directory and had the same resultsSo I guess I need help 
getting write premissions correct so that weather34's index.php is 
happy.then I'm going to need a chron event to apply that to files after 
they are created, 10 minutes after bootup.Thanks,Bill*
