This is your first clue - wview did not like your config file - 0 rules added. Based on your file it should say "4 rules added" - but it is probably unhappy with your changes to the file keywords "user" and "pass".


I explained a bunch of posts ago that I was getting the following error messages in Terminal with wwview running:
G5-Tower:~ paul$ ftp: No address associated with nodename
ftp: Can't connect or login to host `ftp.myhost'
ftp: No address associated with nodename
ftp: Can't connect or login to host `ftp. myhost'
ftp: No address associated with nodename
ftp: Can't connect or login to host `ftp. myhost'

When I mannually logged on, it asked for name and Password:, so when I changed those, the error messages went away, and all looked fine. I changed it back and it does say "4 rules added" at startup, but it gives me the nodename errors again.[/i]

All looked fine because changing those causes it to not parse the config file properly (0 rules added)...

Have you tried using the IP address instead of the hostname?

I really can't tell anything else because you won't post even the hostname - all you need to protect is your password...

That doesn't resolve to an IP address from my DNS... the link does not resolve in the web browser either...

Find the IP address and use that instead of the hostname.

I was able to get an IP resolution on cedar.forest.net (216.168.37.167) - is that it?

When I manually login I get this:

Notice the "EPSV" comment? It will only appear once. The "A" in the code forces the connection to be Active, correct? Does it maybe want to be Passive?[/b][/i]

I think that losing the ftp did the trick. It appears that our website is auto-updating!!!! At least the graph files are updated, but the header and "current conditions" are still lagging, which may be htmlgen.conf-related, which I will focus on next. I do still get the EPRT error each time it ries to update and I've asked my ISP if they can explain that error code.

From my ISP:

Note: EPRT
Short for Extended PoRT, an enhanced version of the PORT command that can handle IPv6 addresses.

Cedar is an OS9 server, and the software predates the conception IPv6 -- so looks like your app is using a relatively new ftp command that the older ftp server simply doesn't recognize.

You'll either need to change the command it uses on the app end (if possible), or move off of cedar to a newer (Apache-based) web server. If you want to go the latter route, let me know and I can get you to your account manager so you can go over what that would involve.
