Re: Dayfile Gust High Wind Format

My Cumulus.ini has

WindSpeedDecimals=0 (this is what I was referring to above)
RoundWindSpeed=0 (just noticed this one - it seems to be set under "common options")

I guess it is the latter that requires changing to effect this?

Re: Dayfile Gust High Wind Format

First, may I add a big tick to CreateMissing. Recently I ran it for the first time ... very useful for finding duplicates and a few other odd-bods accumulated over the years. I noticed that the highest wind gust speed was rounded by createmissing to the nearest whole number but records it to one dec...

Re: web host

For the past 6+ years I have been using SiteGround - their Singapore servers. Currently transitioning to powerwebhosting (powercreations) which is local - servers in several Australian states and the US - and about half the price. Their website is not up-to-date and prices are actually less than adv...

Cumulative rainfall has been added to my daily rainfall page, - https://tillyspaws.com/vp2waw/datasummary.php?data=totRainFall There is also a third pane, "Yearly". And its pretty crude. I have plans (longstanding!) to tidy it up and do similar things with other variables that are of a cum...

ROW_NUMBER requires MySQL V8. The attached - from Mark Crossley's site - is more cumbersome but works for earlier versions.

Re: CumulusMX and Cumulus1 UI style Multilingual Websites

This error looks similar to the problems I had recently with FTP uploads. Try the latest build 3195.

Re: MySQL upload failing

Sorry to cause you problems but pleased you have worked out the cause. Also, the error doesn't trigger an alarm unlike the ones that stall then recover.

MySQL upload failing

Early this morning my one minute MySQL up-load failed. This has happened before. In the past (b3184 and before) this would quickly sort itself out and the upload would resume without my involvement. More recently a few have continued to fail until a restart. This seems similar to the ftp upload prob...

Re: ftp uploads failing

Mark, many thanks - I've been running your latest release 3.19.1 b3194 for almost two days without any FTP (or MySQL) errors. Your efforts are much appreciated :clap:

Re: ftp uploads failing

Thank goodness you can sensibly interpret the diags logs - clearly I can easily jump to incorrect conclusions! I had assumed the ftp log was incorporated into the diags file, and have just discovered the (very large) ftplog.txt. I will trim it a little and pm it to you. And try and reduce my public ...

Re: ftp uploads failing

OK, after some further investigation ... ie reading the diags file carefully :roll: The upload of a file fails permanently (ie until a restart) when it fails once AND then the second attempt to upload also fails. All the failures seem to occur because other processes delay the ftp uploads - in my ca...

Re: ftp uploads failing

The problem continues after the upgrade. Two uploads at the realtime interval failed ... the first from 00:19 hours and the second from 00:25. Also the MySQL at 1 minute intervals failed after success at 01:10 and never resumed although the log file suggests it did - the entry "Upload of failed...

Re: ftp uploads failing

Thanks for the quick reply Mark. I have installed v3.19.0 and will report back in the morning (perth time, which is UTC +08) by which time I would expect the errors to have appeared if they are going to occur.

ftp uploads failing

Over the past 10 days or so some of my ftp uploads fail. Sometimes CMX's recovery system works as planned and on the next cycle or two the upload resumes. However, for some the failure remains on all subsequent cycles and only a restart of CMX can restore the upload. Typically, this seems to become ...
