Now, why would I do that? :)

Attempting to follow the wiki..

mail:/usr/share/php# php buildMetarDB.php -a -u horde -p password -d horde
Could not open input file: buildMetarDB.php

mail:/usr/share/php# php
/usr/share/php/data/Services_Weather/buildMetarDB.php -a -u horde -p
password -d horde works though..  (or at least doesn't return
anything)..

However, now when I log into Horde, and try to edit the Current
Weather block I at least have some options (refresh rate, units, etc.
However even after removing and re-adding the block, the location
dropdowns remains steadfastly empty.  Meaning the block is also empty.
 Is this a path issue?  A permissions issue?

The Horde log has these errors..
