Maybe, but I can understand that you're confused with all those
different filenames. They belong to different versions of PHP Weather.
The errors below talk about phpweather.inc and that tells me that
you're using version 1.6x or something like that, i.e. one of the
versions you can download at SourceForge.

To configure your version, you'll start with the file config-dist.inc.
If you don't have this file, then please download the latest version
(1.61) from SourceForge:

  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23245

Copy the file config-dist.inc to config.inc and then change the
options in config.inc. Delete the lines from config.inc that you don't
change. The idea is that config-dist.inc is distributed with each new
release of PHP Weather whereas your private config.inc isn't. The
config-dist.inc file is read first, and then config.inc is read so
that your changes can override the options in config-dist.inc.

Yes, that works. But the next time you upgrade config-dist.inc will be
overwritten by the default one - if you copy it to config.inc it will
survive the upgrade.

You have to create the databases as described in index.php before you
can use a MySQL database.

Your version of PHP doesn't have support for dbm database.

Hmm? I'm not sure about that one...
