So it looks like your server is behind some sort of firewall that
prevents PHP from fetching data from other servers...
Try seeing what a PHP script like this gives you:
<?php
require('http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/EKYT.TXT');
?>
If you don't get a page with a METAR, then something is blocking PHP.
If that's the case, then you'll have to find another way to sneak data
into PhpWeather past the firewall or whatever it is that is blocking.
The db_updated.php file supplied with PhpWeather is surposed to do
this by importing data from a so-called cycle-file. Such a file
contains data for all stations from the last hour, so you should set
up a cronjob or something similar to fetch the latest cyclefile from
NOAA each hour and then call db_updater.php.
We've been using this script at SourceForge to do this:
#!/bin/sh
#set -x
if test -z "$1"; then
CYCLE=$(date -u +%H);
else
CYCLE=$(date -u -d "$1" +%H);
fi
FILE=${CYCLE}Z.TXT;
cd /home/groups/p/ph/phpweather/htdocs/phpweather
if test -f $FILE; then
rm $FILE;
fi
if wget -q http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/cycles/$FILE; then
wget -q -O - "http://phpweather.sourceforge.net/phpweather/db_updater.php?filename=./$FILE";
rm $FILE;
#echo "Done - database updated.";
fi;
