Can't Find Extra Web Files
I recently moved CumulusMX from a Pi2 to a Pi3 and updated to version 3053. As I look as MXdiags now I see diagnostics saying that the Extra Web Files cannot be found. I can't find the files in either Pi, but the results seem to work OK. Copies of the MXdiags and the Extra Web Files table are attached. What am I doing wrong??
Thanks,
Ron

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Not sure why yore paths are set like
home/pi/CumulusMX/CumulusMX/..... etc
rather than
/home/pi/CumulusMX/..... etc
home/pi/CumulusMX/CumulusMX/..... etc

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
when I installed 3053 it added a folder, but this is the path to CumulusMX.exe and initially the extra files table read just home/pi/CumulusMX/... but the diagnostic was there then too.

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
B3053 added some additional logging so if it cannot find the extra files to process it tells you - previously is just silently failed and ignored them.
Your diags file does show a couple of issued though...
That file needs looking at.
And it appears to be downloading you whole logger archive - that is a symptom of not having the logging interval set the same in Cumulus and your VP2.

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Thanks Mark. I won't be able to work on these until tomorrow. The line input error sounds like one I had before -- a lot of nuls before the data. How do I sync the diagnostic times with the VP2 and CumulusMX? Also, how do I stop the unnecessary diagnostic notes?

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Take your logging interval from Cumulus, and then with Cumulus stopped, use the WeatherLink utility to set the VP2 console to the same value.
Take a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?t=2473
The diagnostic messages will stop if you remove the filenames you aren't using from the Extra web files configuration. But presumably you put them in there for a reason at some point?

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Thanks Mark,
I'm not planning on buying any Weatherlink equipment though, so I guess I just have to live with that.

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Ah, you have a third party logger then? Pretty sure the WL software will work with them too.
You can set it via the serial port if you are happy to fire up a terminal emulator?

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Yes, I use a third party logger. Don't remember the details, but got it from someone in England. Not familiar with the term terminal emulator, but it seems PuTTy qualifies, and also FireZilla. I have and can use both. Do I just type SETPER 10 at the command prompt and that resets the VP2? should I be logging into the VP2 somehow? I am using 10 in Cumulus, is there a way to see what the VP2 is using?

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
You have it, SETPER is the command to use, and putty is ideal. No login required.
Note, when you set the logger interval on the console it will clear the existing memory and start logging agin from that point forwards.

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Maybe I'm getting too old for this. I am logging into the Pi, right? It's been several years since I used Putty, but I'm asked for a login and password. When I use Pi and raspberry I get pi@pi/. SETPER is not recognized. Do I need to change some settings? Hate to be a nuisance.

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Your terminal emulator needs to be on the Pi if that is where you have your VP2 plugged in. You are using the terminal to connect to your VP2 to issue the SETPER command.

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
@Ron: Yes, difficult to understand maybe. Try search 'setper' on the forum.
One of the emerging clarifying messages is this one (I think).

Re: Can't Find Extra Web Files
Thanks freddie and HansR. I now have Putty on the pi, but do not know how to log into the console. What destination do I nee to use? I have tried several of the suggestions in the search with no joy. 'ls /dev/tty' returns '/dev/tty'. Using '/dev/tty' as a command yields 'permission denied'. 'sudo /dev/tty' gets 'command not found'. I am using a third party logger. How do I talk to the console?
Thanks again, Ron
