The realTimeUrlWeewx setting in gauges.js needs to be set so that your webserver can find gauge-data.txt. You can use a relative or absolute path but remember that any absolute path is relative to your web root (not the root directory of your web server). So if you web server is set to use /var/www/html as its web root and gauge-data.txt is in the /var/www/html/ss directory you could use '/ss/gauge-data.txt'. If you want to use a relative path for realTimeUrlWeewx then the path is relative to gauges.js (which by default is in the ss/scripts directory in your web root) and you might use '../gauge-data.txt'. Its a personal choice (though I am sure some will have good reason for one or the other), I tend to prefer relative paths but it really is your choice. > 2. in the github download i pulled down a post_gauge-data.php file along > with the tar.gz .

If this is not the case then you can ignore post_gauge-data.php as it is not needed. If your weeWX and web servers are different machines let me know and I will talk you through its use. Probably dumb questions but it kinda has me stuck. > > Also, out of curiosity, where do you live? > I am just outside of Brisbane, Australia.
