All gone downhill since upgrading to b3129 - ftp not working

[Feek]

I've gone through my usual upgrade process - I use the default web site.

Download the new install file, ftp it over to my Pi.

Stop the service, take a copy of my current install, copy the new install over the top of the old install, restart the service.

While it was all restarting, I've copied the webfiles directory to my server.

Everything looks OK on the management console dashboard and gauges when I'm connected to the Pi but nothing is being uploaded to the server. As you can see (link in signature), it's all looking a bit poor at the moment. I've checked my ftp settings, it all looks good but I'm getting errors in the ftplog.txt file.

The last updated time is showing as 18:50 which is when I started doing this. I'm not sure what's happening here.

I can easily go back to the previous version but I'd quite like this to work
/edit - I have gone back to the previous version and I no longer see those ftp errors.


Thanks.

Looks like you may have missed copying over some web files

I had a similar finding the other day.

Though it looks like you fixed it

That was my first thought but I don't think so.

[ConligWX]

I had this issue (displaying wrong characters) with two files which was part of the change log

Fix: Remove THW Index in /web/websitedataT.json, and default web site index.htm

If the index.htm isn’t updated but the websitedata.json is, you will get that type of error.

So update CumulusMX then upload the webfiles folder content to the webserver

Thanks - Yes, I've already done this. In fact, I completely renamed my /weather folder on the server, created a new one and uploaded a fresh copy of the webfiles folder but that made no difference.

What's failing is the ftp upload as you can see from the two log extracts in my first post. With the old version back, I'm no longer getting those ftp errors.

The ftp library has been updated and the error you get has to do with reuse of the tls connection. At least it seems like it: it disconnects. Apparently the lib does not handle it well.

I have been struggling with this recently and gave up. Mark must say what he want with this, but i think you're better of trying SFTP connection.

Some trouble to set up, especially the type of key to use but then you leave FTP troubles behind you.

[mcrossley]

FTPS session reuse is a problem with the library, and like Hans I'm not sure what the solution is at the moment - I'll have to investigate more.
(I'd say FTP and particularly FTPS issues absorb the biggest proportion of my dev time - the day FTP is abandoned I'll rejoice!)

Your web site issue is symptomatic of not updating the websitedataT.json file.

I have had problems with V3129 using FTP ptotocol option 1 I get an error regarding handles, if I resort to opt 0 all works fine. Perhaps it is a problem with the web site key ?

In light of my experience with the "Unhandled Exception" I'd agree, is there an alternative?

[mcrossley]

Version 3.11.1 has been released - it reverts the FTP component back to the previous version, this should fix crashes introduced when v3.11.0 is running under Mono.

Thank you Mark, all updated and working now.
