System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Address already in use

[oman4eva]

Hi,

I'm trying to get CumulusMX working with my Linux machine (Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64 bit). I was able to get the web page up and running but then when i went and set up the settings for my Davis VP2+ station and restarted the service i get the error (i've removed user/ip details)


I believe this is a comm port problem, it looks like it's coded in comm ports in Windows format, e.g comm 1, not linux format /dev/ttyUSB0

I assume this has already been discussed but couldn't find it. Any tips??

thanks
oman

Ok the big dummy here answered his own question. You just type /dev/ttyUSB0 into the comm port settings on the web page....not comm1 or comm0....woops

You need to enter the serial port name on the station settings screen - ideally you would have done this when you configured the station type, rather than leaving it at the default. If it's now crashing before you can get to the user interface, you'll need to do it by editing Cumulus.ini - look for the ComportName setting.

Edit - cross-posted!

I upgraded to MX build 3030 yesterday on a RPi. I copied over my Cumulus data and Cumulus.ini file before starting MX. When I started MX, I kept getting the unable to connect to station message followed shortly thereafter by a crash of MX. I missed the line in the FAQ about changing com ports in the .ini for the RPi, so I went searching in the forum and found this post.

In my Cumulus.ini, there is no ComportName parameter so that was a bit confusing. I was running v1.9.4 build 1085 and had not upgraded to avoid dealing with the HTML 5 and UTF-8 changes. In the build 1085, the serial port parameter is 'Port'. I changed this to 'ComportName', ran dmesg to determine my RPi had assigned port USB0, and then entered '/dev/ttyUSB0' in the ComportName parameter. After this, MX properly connected to my Davis VP2.

Then, I went into the configuration pages and found out the Dashboard and the Now pages would not populate with any data from the station. Anything using historical data was fine. At this point, I figured there must be some other differences in the .ini that were preventing MX from running properly, so I just deleted the old .ini and let MX create a brand new one which I configured from the configuration pages. Everything is working fine now. I thought I would post this information to save someone else some time if they bump into this post with the same problem I had.
