I made the switch from running an ACIII to an APEX and I am unable to get the sig to work right. I am able to "see" the APEX from the net but I cannot get the data to populate. I have seen other sigs stating they are running an APEX so it must be something to do with my setting. Unfortunately I am not exactly sure what I need to change. Any suggestions?

What's your URL? Typically, for an apex, it needs to be http:// /cgi-bin/status.xml

I modified your URL to be http:// [hostname : port] /cgi-bin/status.xml and it worked. I'll pm you the url I used rather than pasting it for the world to see

Thanks everyone who helped. I still have to work out the outlet names to get them to appear correctly since the upgrade, but I am one step closer

Ok, another question, I can't seem to get the info to populate the sig beside time, date, and temp.

Put a $ in front of the timer names (I changed the first one for you).

Thanks again. The problem I was running into was that I had miss typed one of my outlet names. This apparently made it so the sig couldn't update 100%. Thanks again.
