###TROUBLESHOOTING

The weather page has the wrong dates!

Assuming you've already double-checked that your API key is in the right spot, check the top of the page for any whitespace. If there is any, try highlighting it to see if there is any text up there. If you see something about "Permission Denied" and "jsonResponse.txt", the issue can probably be fixed by doing the following:

1. Open a terminal and type ps -axu | grep apache (or whatever server you're running). At the far left, you should see things like root and your username. You should also see something like www-data. Whatever it is, put it where www-data is below.

2. Run the following: sudo chown -R www-data /path/to/dds-weather

3. Refresh the page and see if the problem persists. If it does, file a ticket.
