Last Thursday my site suddenly stopped updating. Nothing was changed at my end, (as far as I know). My host tells me everything is OK at their end and I don’t see anything wrong at my end.
I asked my host, HostBig, to check again and they gave me a link to prove it was working. Clicking on that produced the attached page.
I am retired and semi computer literate, so don’t overload this old guy? But your advice and help would be much appreciated.
when you say not working
I think you mean its not updating (i.e the data is not changing)
the data in the clientraw.txt if old on your web site, i.e from the 25 may
see http://www.mosgielweather.info/clientraw.txt
is that file on your pc updating OK?
(i.e in the WD web files folder…check the actual file there)
Brickdust sent me the below picture as I have been trying to help him, but weirdly, that link that he is displaying is not what I see on my browser. Somehow the registration of his WDL is not the same as is registered ??? The site has always been registered to mosgielweather.info domain name
Something is weird when you look at the below pic with the rogue domain name
I cant make sense of that pic how its saying that the wdlconfig file is on anonymous.org when its never been set for that
Looking at that, it appears the software is loading the file to another site. is it possible that a virus has changed something in WD which is now trying to upload it to the anonymouse.org site and not to his normal hosting site. ???
but if you click on http://www.mosgielweather.info/
its OK,yes?
(re the problem with registration…but the problem of stale data remains (has he checked the clientraw.txt file in c:\wdisplay\webfiles\ to see if that is updating)
I have rebooted the computer a few times. Program Event Log is empty.

Mention of viruses in software lives on for ever on the internet so this is just a little digression to address this particular issue. That’s no virus, or WD problem. The url shows that for some reason he chose to access his site via anonymouse.org which is an anonymous browsing service. WDL is never going to work via such a site. WDL’s security/licensing is based in checking the server domain against the domain name used to issue the license. In this case the server domain is anonmouse and so that’s where it is looking for the configuration code which has the license - which was not issued for anonymouse.
I am about to change hosts as soon as I can get this updating again. They were charging me $19 annually, then this year they wanted $90. I asked why and they never replied, just shut me down, so, I had no option but to pay them. They won’t be getting any more out of me.
