Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
OK, I messed up somehow and need help. I have been running CumulusMX on raspberry-pi; most recent build 3088. Extracted the files from the 3.7.0 zip file and copied to the CumulusMX folder on the raspberry-pi. Copied my saved files "Cumulus.ini"; "cumulusMX.sh; "cumulusmxsh.conf" to the main directory. Then copied my saved data files into the new data directory. Now when I attempt to run the new version, I get a message that it could not read the "cumulusmx.db" file.
I then delete all my CumulusMX files from the rasp-pi and attempt to re-load the previous build (3088). Now when I attempt to run CumulusMX, I get a message that there is a newer version (build 3089) available, and does not start.
I note that when I unzip the download for b3098, there is an additional file "AlterSQLTables3098.sql", but I do not know what to do with this file. I have a strong sense that this is at the base of my problem.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Re: Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
It sounds like a permissions issue on your new folder.
The "AlterSQLTables3098.sql" file is just for people you use a MySQL database - you can ignore it.
I think we need to see your log files please.
That message is just a warning message, it does not stop Cumulus doing anything.

Re: Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
Mark,
Thanks for the quick reply! Sorry, but there are no files in the MXdiags folder, nor could I find any other log files.
Attached is a screen shot of the terminal when I attempt to run CumulusMX.

Re: Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
Does the cumulusmx.db file exist in your /data folder? If its not there Cumulus will create it.
That it is failing to do that points again to file permissions.
Try running this command...
sudo chmod a+rwx /path/folder
obviously with the full path and folder name of your Cumulus folder

Re: Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
did you stop CumulusMX session first of all before you copied over the files?

Re: Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
Simon,
Yes, I did stop CumulusMX running before I upgraded. In fact, I deleted all the files in my CumulusMX folder/subfolders before copying the new version.
Mark,
I ran the terminal command as suggested, but I still get the same result as before (the screen shot earlier). Attached are screen shots of the relevant files/folders (at least I hope are relevant).

Re: Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
Thanks, rogerthn. Tried that, but no luck.
I have even tried renaming "cumulusmx.db" to "cumulusmx.db.old", but CumulusMX still would not start. No log files created; no new "cumulusmx.db" created.

Re: Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
Just stabbing in the dark so to speak, Are you using a different account than previously used to run cumulus or creating the new folders perhaps? Definately sound like a permission issue.
How are you starting CumulusMX?

Re: Failed upgrade to 3.7.0
UPDATE: Prior to this, with multiple suggestions, I was not able to get CumulusMX running on my pi. I remember seeing one of the messages stating that cumulusmx.db could not be opened. So thinking that the db was corrupt, I decided to go ahead and redo the pi from scratch and install CumulusMX on the newly formatted drive. I now have CumulusMX working, but am unable to have it start automatically on reboot. References to the start/stop script no longer are active. But, I'm still looking.
So thanks to everyone who responded and offered suggestions to help. I appreciate it.
Paul
