"Hard to speculate what 'simply does not run means'" - What that means is that the php code will not execute within the html file. So, I am not getting the desired result on the webpage. In other words, it just ignores the code.
Steve - your suggestion seemed to have worked (almost). I did what you suggested, and the php code does execute, but I have run into a permissions problem, so I'm curious how you handled it. All my .php files / .html files come out as the root user, and as a result the website will not display at all. I know it works, because if I change the the users of the index.php file manually (i.e. chown weewx:weewx index.php), then the webpage works fine. I tried using... su python -u weewx -g weewx /usr/local/src/Weewx/bin/weewxd /usr/local/src/Weewx/weewx.conf > /var/run/weewx/weewx.pid the /var/run/weewx is owned by user "weewx". Basically, I have assigned ownership of ALL users and ALL groups to weewx, however when the program runs the .php and .html files still get outputted as root. So, I'm curious as to what you did to get around that. Thank you.
