Dear X-Air and WeatherCat web spinners,
The 'in-progress' site is running on my iMac, not connected to the Console, therefore, the data is static, supplied by Stu for testing purposes like this.
Okay
Touch? . . .
Sorry, it is always a 3-ringed circus around here and just to make my life more complicated, I have two philosophical discussion going on the V-8 Buick forum. I've decided I'll reply only to one a day. I need some time for my trusty wagon!
Since I plan/hope on keeping both sites running, I'll be investigating how to get the data uploaded to the two different locations.
However, it isn't possible to specify more than one destination for custom web uploads (or for simple web for that matter).
Yes, this is true, but you can have more than one website uploaded using the WeatherCat custom upload mechanism if you are "sneaky" . . .
The trick is to have aliases or symbolic links as they are called in UNIX so that the files in one directory can be accessed from another. I have my standard site at this URL:
http://www.canebas.org/Weather/I also provide a complete test version of the original Seamonkey templates without my customizations:
http://www.canebas.org/Weather/SeaMonkey/I use symbolic links to populate the subdirectory with the files that actually are uploaded in the same folder as my main weather site.
Unfortunately if I recall correctly, you want to have two separate domain names. If you pay for separate hosting of each domain name that won't work. I've never done it, but I believe the Apache web server can be configured to answer requests for two different domain names running on the same server. So you might be able to have a single hosting provider allow you to have two domains on one virtual machine. You would need access to the Apache configuration file to accomplish this though and would have to be willing to get your hand dirty with a little UNIX configuration stuff.
The other option would be to write some small shell scripts to automatically FTP the files needed on the other machine from the first one. That isn't too terribly hard, but you would need to get some experience with bash scripting and would have to encode passwords in the script which isn't terribly secure. I don't know if there is any other way to handle having files move from one virtual machine to another.
This research will have to wait until tomorrow, at least, I'm pooped from mowing the yard and repairing the gate I "modified" with the mower...
. . . .
Ooooh, so you like doing
"mods" too! . .
I've done all kind of
"mods" to my wagon! Like I changed the dash from this:
to this:
Okay, okay, I know . . .
What you referring to is the sort of
"mod" like I did to my trusty wagon's radio antenna:
No, the bend in the bottom antenna didn't come from the factory. I
"modified it" myself . . .
That's why I had to buy the reproduction antenna at the top!
Cheers, Edouard
P.S. Hope the gate isn't too worse for wear!
