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* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
