I have Powerhome installed at its default location on my C drive. I would like the Webserver directory to be on my E Drive so that I can incorporate data from my weather station. I changed the Web server directory to "E:\Website" and copied the contents of the "\Powerhome\Web" directory + subdirectories across but when accessing the Powerhome web pages, though I get the data (such as the event log),I dont get the graphics displayed. What am I doing wrong?

APB,
If you're referring to the graphics on the Device Status screen, you'll need to also go into PowerHome Explorer and adjust the location of the on,off,dim, and unknown graphics in the X10 Types screen (or similar depending upon your devices) to point to the new webserver directory.
PowerHome is ONLY able to serve graphics and files via the web within the webserver directory or below (security consideration). So in order for the client Device Status screen and Web Device Status screen to both work, you must set the graphic locations to the webserver directory.
HTH,
Dave.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but it's on topic (I think)...
Is it possible to use a different web server with PH? Meaning I'd rather use an Apache web server running on a different machine on my network because it's a more powerful machine.

Ginigma,
Definately possible, but you would probably need to still run the PowerHome webserver to process the actual low level PowerHome commands. Either that or you'll need the apache server to somehow interact with PowerHome for information retrieval and control. This leaves you with either the Socket Server, Windows messaging, or a custom plugin. It really depends upon what you're trying to accomplish.
HTH,
Dave.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but I have my PH running on a machine that also has a Apache WebServer, and a Filezilla FTP server running on it all at the same time, and everything works perfectly together.

The two machines are separate. I've got a Linux box running an Apache server, and PH is on another machine. I guess what I want to do is make use of the Apache web server, instead of the PH web server, because my PH box is starting to max out. I have other things running on it also. Oh well, this may get put on the way back burner, for when I have some time.
