Website build problem

[falkunmalti]

Hi

I am running Cumulus 3046 and have had to reinstall CumulusMX due to a computer failure (Raspberry pi3). I have everything back with the exception of my website.

I have followed the wiki and the web and webfiles directories on my pi are as shown in the wiki and I have set all the parameters as I understand them to be (Web/FTP settings). While my website does display as shown in the attached screenshot, it does not update. My settings are for 15 min updates and the page has not updated for 2 hours now. I checked the ftp log and it looks like realtimegauges.txt and realtime.txt are uploading every 15 mins. I cannot understand why the webpage itself does not update like it used to before. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I have not had any replies yet but I am thinking that the problem may be how I have entered the value for "directory". My website is www.laferla.ca/weather but nothing is showing up under my weather directory on the website. Maybe I have misunderstood the format of the directory entry. Could someone please enlighten me??

I am attaching a screenshot of my entries for the website in CumulusMX. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I presume your Host name, User name, and Password are correct as it looks like you have been able to manually upload the necessary files such as http://www.laferla.ca/weather/images/picture.jpg

The Directory setting is most likely your issue.
Did you have to create the /weather folder in public_html/weather?
When I changed my hosting at GoDaddy to cPanel I had to change my directory from /weather to public_html/weather

If public_html is your root on your hosting then likely you need to have it in CumulusMX internet settings as public_html/weather

Enjoy,
Paul

Should the host name be ftp.laferla.ca
and then the directory public_html/weather

[falkunmalti]

I checked with my mail server fellow and he says that www.laferla.ca/weather is the correct thing to use for the directory. In fact, realtime.txt and realtimegauges.txt got uploadedinto my website directory. But the "static" parts of the webpages do not get uploaded. I don't know why this is happening. I now have this as the directory

www.laferla.ca/weather

Also the files are not getting updated on the pc.

[typiod]

OK then , you still need to change your host name so that it starts ftp.yourwebsite, then the directory is weather. You also need to upload the static files manually to your webserver.

[falkunmalti]

Should the static files be uploaded from /web or /webfiles?

[typiod]

OK so you have some of the required files loaded so it would be best to enable ftp logging within cumulus to see what is or is not happening. Also upload all the rquired files from the webfiles folder.

[falkunmalti]

Here is my ftplog.txt. Something is still wrong. The last time realtimegauges.txt was uploaded was 2:48 and the datestamp on the webpage is wrong.

[typiod]

From the logfile it appears that cumulus is trying to upload a file that does not exist on your rpi,(Response: 550 weather/realtime.txttmp: No such file or directory). In your CumulusMX/web folder do you have files with a T on the end of them for instance realtimeT.xml ?

[falkunmalti]

Yes, realtimegaugesT.txt, yesterdayT.htm,todayT.htm, indexT.htm, trendT.htm, record.htm, thismonthT.htm, thisyearT.htm, gaugesT.htm, monthlyrecordT.htm.

The realtimegauges.txttmp does exist on the website but has a file size of 0. Do you think I should start again from scratch?

The ftp is obviously working but somehow the data does not update.

[typiod]

Yes maybe a good idea to start again there should be no .txttmp on the server, just the .txt files.

[falkunmalti]

OK, I'll try and do this tomorrow and post the results.


could you post a link to a good how-to guide that I could follow. Thanks.

Following the wiki, I uploaded the folders and files from /webfiles to my webspace. The realtimegauges.txt is being correctly created periodically and uploaded to the website. The wiki does not mention anything about the 11 files in /web. I am wondering whether I upload the 11 files in /web (the ones with a T at the end) to the webspace. When does Cumulus start creating the weather files which display on the website?

My ftplog.txt file shows entreies SIZE not allowed in ascii mode when dealing with realtimegauges.txttmp when uploading to the website. I couldn't see any setting for ascii or binary mode in the ftp client settings. Is this a setting in the ftp client that I must set? Attached is a snippet of my ftplog showing the latest attempt this morning.

[PaulMy]

The only thing to manualy FTP to your webserver are the contents of Cumulus\webfiles. There should be no xxxxT files on your webserver, these should only be in \Cumulus\web
At the set interval Cumulus should process the \web xxxT files and FTP as per your WebFTP settings. That is all that would be needed. In its processing and FTP Cumulus creates the temp files like realtimegauges.txttmp in your Cumulus\web folder and these are not FTP

The realtimegauges.txt on your site is from 07:22 but can't tell which date http://www.laferla.ca/weather/realtimegauges.txt
There are xxxT.htm files on your webserver such as indexT.htm but this is not a processed files and should be index.htm and current value, and this index.htm doesn't exist.

Your FTPlog shows No such file or directory for each scheduled Cumulus processing and FTP so something not correct yet. I presume all the template files are in \CumulusMX\web

Could you provide your CumulusMX Internet Settings Web/FTP settings?

Enjoy,
Paul
