Kapo,

Thanks for confirming the version you are running and having problems with.

Can you let me know which version did work for you?

Hi Mark

I updated to version 1.5.4d last night but this morning I had the same error message. What I also notice is the message "uploading charts...." at the bottom of the main screen is displaying all the time.

As for the web page issue, when I first press "start - exporting charts" the charts are being uploaded but the icons for "pressure at station, rain, frost, fog, wind & page updated" are not being uploaded to the web server.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the information. I will have a look and see if I can work out what
is going wrong.

What is weird is why it is working fine for me using exactly the same version 1.5.4d (test ver)

All the images upload correctly. (I even started a new instance from scratch yesterday
and everything is still ok today).

Hi Mark

I am not sure, but I think that v.1.43....ver1.44 were the versions that worked o.k. without probs.

Hi Mark,
While v1.5.4d test updated regularly yesterday I found this morning that the last update was dated 12:15 just after midnight. I shut it down this morning and restarted and then the files updated on the webserver and continued to update 15 min later. Now thinking about it the previous stops of updating by v153 was likely also just after midnight. Could it be something with the end of day/beginning next day reset?

I will let it run for a while to see if it continues to upload during the day. I am pretty sure v152 was fine and updating even after end of day. I can retry v152 it if you wish but perhaps best to test v154 again over the next midnight.

Richard / Kapo,

Can you confirm when you run the program and it tries to save and upload the charts
that all the following files (shown in the screen capture below), are in the LOCAL /charts folder
on your machine (not the FTP server).

If any are missing can you confirm which ones they are, as this will help me see if they
are all getting saved prior to them being uploaded.

The only file I don't have is "solarradiationchart.png" as I don't have any solar sensors, all the rest are there.

Ok thank you both for replying.

Hopefully it will help me narrow down where to look in the code.

Richard / Kapo,

Can you both try configuring Grabber to "Auto export charts on program start"
which is a tickbox on the [Config] screen.

Then restart Grabber and the see if it uploads correctly with out error.
As it may be the code under the [Start - Export Charts] button, on
the main screen (shown below), that is causing the problem, so if you
can not press this button at the moment, to see if the auto export works.

Can you both let me know if you still get errors or if it works correcly.

Thanks

Hi Mark

I already had the "Auto export charts on program start" selected but I removed it then re-selected it just in case it was the problem but it made no difference, still get the same error...... Sorry!

Mark, just to confirm for your information that my updates with v.1.5.4 test are working properly.

Richard,

Thanks for trying and letting me know.
Could you confirm what OS you are running Grabber on.


Paul,

Thanks for the update, it seems strange how it works OK for some people,
myself included, but others are experiencing problems.

Could you also confirm which OS you are running Grabber on.

Hopefully next week when I get time to look at it I can figure it out.
