unable to save internet settings
setup cumulusmx on windows. Station up and running however I am unable to save any settings on the internet settings page.
I input settings for ftp and weather underground, hit the save settings button but nothing saves. Tried closing, re-booting windows. Nothing seems to work.
Windows 10. Any suggestions? 3.10.5 b3122.

Re: unable to save internet settings
Do you see any red borders around the input boxes when you try to save settings? Do you get a confirmation message that "settings have been saved"?

Re: unable to save internet settings
That is almost certainly the problem. No program released on windows installs in a User directory. Usually it is in a Program Files or Program Files (X86) directory but in the case of MX it is best to install it in the root of the C drive i.e. C:\.
make sure you run it as an Administrative user as well or use the function that Mark released to install it as a service.

Re: unable to save internet settings
The wiki states avoid “program files”
https://cumuluswiki.org/a/MX_on_Windows ... _to_run_MX
Put it in C:\CumulusMX\

Re: unable to save internet settings

Re: unable to save internet settings
Possibly an error in input? If you can save on other settings pages then the underlying code appears to be okay. Can you supply a screenshot (blanking any passwords first)

Re: unable to save internet settings
Can you confirm you ran the netsh command too as part of the setup?
Worth stopping CumulusMX first, the run the command.
Make sure this is run in an administrator command prompt window.

Code: Select all
netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:8998/ user=\users

Re: unable to save internet settings
He must have done (or be running as administrator) as other settings pages (such as station) are working just fine.ConligWX wrote: ↑Sun 18 Apr 2021 10:06 am Can you confirm you ran the netsh command too as part of the setup?

Re: unable to save internet settings
My answer is based on my experience with older releases where the code may be different to the release you are using.
2 Questions:
1) Freddie has twice asked you if MX is highlighting any errors in red, but actually a critical question is do all 16 sections appear on your Internet settings page?
If not, then there is a problem with the page loading correctly, as the "Save" button appears before the sections are loaded, but is only activated once the page has finished loading.
2) Freddie says you have confirmed that saving is working on all other settings pages, but is that right?
Apart from Freddie, it seems others have been assuming no settings work.
Each settings page depends on several files working together, all of these are in (on Windows) the \CumulusMX\interface directory. Therefore, I suggest you replace all files in that folder with a fresh set taken from the download, this action will not affect any settings you have already made (as they are stored in \CumulusMX\Cumulus.ini).
By the way, installing your MX there was NOT wrong, MX will work there, although it is not best location.
The reasons why loading it at a root folder of any disk/partition is suggested are
1) Any user can access there, while within the user file hierarchy access is limited to that user
2) It is always best to keep path names short, longer paths can get truncated and thereby cause problems

Re: unable to save internet settings
hi all,
finally got to spend a little time on this. sfws, I followed your lead and decided to delete all files and start again. Downloaded and saved files in c:/cumulusmx.
This time all is working as it should.
Thank you all for your help.
