Looking at the weewx.conf you posted you have two [RealtimeGaugeData]
stanzas:
# This is the stanza for Real Time Guage Data
[RealtimeGaugeData]
[RealtimeGaugeData]
This will certainly cause weeWX to hiccup very early in the startup, though
it should give some output to log. I put the same config on a test system
and received the following in the log:

You need to remove the second [RealtimeGaugeData] heading. I had a look
through your posted weewx.conf and nothing else jumps out at me, though the
proof will be in the pudding so to speak. Once you have made that change
stop then start weeWX and see how it goes. If weeWX still appears not to
start, and nothing seems to be in the log, then run weeWX directly;
<http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Running_directly> that should give
you some output direct to screen and hopefully it will indicate what the
problem is.
Before we worry about the HTTP POST side of things we need to make sure
gauge-data.txt is being generated by weeWX, if it isn't we will likely end
up chasing our tails trying to sort out HTTP POST.

Would seem to be a good sign, if I go to
http://photokinetics.org/Weather/post_gauge-data.php in my browser I get
the following error message displayed:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/' in /home/n2qlq/photokinetics.org/
Weather/post_gauge-data.php on line 28
That tells me 2 things. Firstly, PHP is installed because line 28 is trying
to be executed (rather than 'displayed' which is what would happen if PHP
was not enabled). Secondly, there is an error at line 28 in the file.
Looking at the post_gauge-data.php you posted line 28 is:
$json_file = /photokinetics.org/Weather/gauges/gauge-data.txt
whereas the original was:
$json_file = "data/gauge-data.txt";
so you need to put the quotes back in and end the line with a semi-colon.
If I am reading your server directory structure correctly (some of those
lines don't line up to well on a web page) you probably want $json_file to
be set as follows:
$json_file = "gauges/gauge-data.txt";
