Mike:

i just noticed that the wxvolcano-ak script is not returning a conditions report despite the fact that one exists in volcano-current-ak.txt.

I'd appreciate any help.

Are you running the current version?

[NorCal Dan]

I just downloaded and installed the script from the link in the first post:

<!-- wxvolcano-wa.php - V1.02 12-Oct-2009 -->


add: Played around with the links and permissions and it's working.

Keep in mind I've only been playing with this for an hour.  It's possible Mike coded the volcano differently based on the website, but your cache file is not formatted the same as mine.  There is a link on the page that points to a "cleaner" text version versus the one your grabbing now that is embedded in the webpage. Maybe try pointing your cache file to this URL and see if it parses okay.

It appears the link for the Cleveland volcano is returning an not found error:

Page could not be found. -- www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/avoreport.php%20title=

We're sorry. It seems that the page you requested has moved or does not exist. If you typed in a web address by hand, please check that the spelling of the page you requested is correct. If you are unsure, please try one of the following links:

The link for Mt. Redoubt seems to be working, so I can only guess the format of the page has changed and the parser is not able to find the information.

Suddenly! Cleveland is working! Don't know what I did if anything!

I gave up years ago trying to understand software and computers!

Great.  See if your code has 2 different URL's for the Cleveland data source.  When I load your Cleveland page, mid page, there is a link for the source and it still gives me the error.

Just checking has anyone had any issues with the sites updating?  I just downloaded the files today and when I launch them I do not get any data.  I used the hi txt file from the top of page 2 and that data shows up on my WXvolcano-hi.php file.

Thanks

They do seem to be down. Its seems like it does this every now and then, but should come back.

[ALITTLEweird1]

They have changed there RSS feed link..

From this..
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/cvo/current_updates.php

To this..
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/activity/status.php#cvo

But I cant get it too work

[jgillett]

This - http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/activity/status.php#cvo - brings back a full HTML page with status info on all the volcanoes, each of which is separated by its own <div id="cvo">, etc. The script would have to be modified to recognize this. One nice thing, however, is that they are all in the same place now, and there are more than the original 3 that came with the script. The only thing to change in the URL would be the #cvo (or whatever) to get the desired report.
