Hi,
By default the Realtime gauge-data extension will save gauge-data.txt in
the WeeWX public_html directory. The exact location of the public_html
directory depends on your WeeWX install; setup.py installs use
/home/weewx/public_html and package install use /var/www/html/weewx. You
can change the location the generated gauge-data.txt file is saved to by
setting the rtgd_path config option under [RealtimeGaugeData] in weewx.conf.
To do so edit weewx.conf, locate the [RealtimeGaugeData] stanza and
change/add the rtgd_path config option as required. Save weewx.conf and
restart WeeWX for the change to take effect. Your [RealtimeGaugeData] would
look something like this:
[RealtimeGaugeData]
....
rtgd_path = /save/to/this/directory
Be aware that for setup.py installs some folks save everything to
/home/weewx/public_html and then create a symlink to this directory from
/var/www/html or elsewhere. It really is horses for courses but taking a
consistent approach will probably lead to less confusion.
