Constellation overlay and aurora activity not appearing.

[CleverJay]

Hi Thomas. I've got my allsky website up and running at https://www.skylapser.com/allsky/ The overlay and the aurora info are not appearing. I am not getting any errors in the Chrome javascript console and the network calls seem to have executed. I've also compared the mark-up to your site and can't see what would prevent the overlays on mine. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hey Jay,

Do you know what version of PHP is installed on your server? I'm thinking that the aurora forecast is failing because getForecast.php returns an encoded response and the json_encode function is only supported on PHP 5.2 and higher.

Thanks Thomas, The server is running PHP V5.6. that would have been too easy. :-) Do i have to set a document root in the functions.php?

[thomasjacquin]

Can you try this on your website and see if it returns data?

http://www.thomasjacquin.com/allsky/getForecast.php

[CleverJay]

Put your URL into controller.js Here: ` $scope.getForecast = function () {

    function getSum(data, field) {
        var total = _.sumBy(data, function (row) {
            return parseInt(row[field]);
        });
        return Math.round(total / 7);
    }

    function getDay(number) {
        var day = moment().add(number, 'd');
        return moment(day).format("MMM") + " " + moment(day).format("DD");
    }

    $http.get("http://www.thomasjacquin.com/allsky/getForecast.php")
        .then(function (response) {
            $scope.forecast = {};
            $scope.forecast[getDay(0)] = getSum(response.data, "day1");
            $scope.forecast[getDay(1)] = getSum(response.data, "day2");
            $scope.forecast[getDay(2)] = getSum(response.data, "day3");
        });
};

$scope.getForecast();

}

` And the forecast disappeared altogether.

Got the following error in the JS console: angular.js:10661 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.skylapser.com/allsky/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://www.thomasjacquin.com/allsky/getForecast.php'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

obviously it wants a local or secure source. I will try it as https if that doesn't work I will revert to just getForcast.php.

Sorry, I meant try calling your own php file in the browser.

Mine returns this: [{"time":"00-03UT","day1":"0","day2":"3","day3":"2"},{"time":"03-06UT","day1":"1","day2":"3","day3":"2"},{"time":"06-09UT","day1":"2","day2":"2","day3":"2"},{"time":"09-12UT","day1":"1","day2":"2","day3":"2"},{"time":"12-15UT","day1":"2","day2":"3","day3":"2"},{"time":"15-18UT","day1":"2","day2":"3","day3":"2"},{"time":"18-21UT","day1":"3","day2":"3","day3":"2"},{"time":"21-00UT","day1":"3","day2":"4","day3":"3"}]

Yours returns this: [{"time":"","day1":null,"day2":null,"day3":null}]

I think there's a PHP function that fails to execute on your host but I'm not sure which one yet.

Thanks Thomas. I will investigate further, There maybe something in the htaccess that is preventing php outside of wordpress. I am quite happy with just the camera for the time being. we are generally too far south for aurora, and the overlay is just icing on the cake.

[thomasjacquin]

Actually, I think the error is not on json_encode but rather on file_get_contents. I believe it may be a permission issue. My getForecast.php is set to 755 for permissions as well as the allsky directory

Hi all, I had the same issue. Found out (with the great help of Thomas) that it is due to …. the **language setting in

virtualsky.json**

It has to be set to English because most other languages do not work! "lang": "en",

I have attached a word document describing the whole installation process. installing allsky-website.docx

[CleverJay]

Thank you so much for the Word doc. I will try to reinstall the website and hopefully won't lose my archive.

Best
