Thank you for your help, dont be sorry, me im sorry to be still so noob

Don't worry, no problem, we've all been there.

so now this is cumulusutils.ini :

OK, we're getting there:

Code: Select all

[Maps]
Website=

fill in the website with which you want to be on the map (I suggest your CumulusUtils website URL).
Rerun CumulusUtils and it should work.

This is assuming your provider accepts plain FTP. If it does not, you will have to move the output of cumulusutils manually (see the manual).

[HansR]

OK, looks good.

Indeed it does not see the realtime.txt and the realtimegauges.txt.
Those two files are uploaded by CumulusMX. The location is determined by the Web/FTP site settings in CMX. That is where the directory is defined. Normally that would be the website root. If you have only one website - i.e. the CumulusUtils generated site - you would give the /CMX/ directory in CMX as the location to dump the realtime (and graphics JSON) files.

However if you have more websites (e.g. you have already the original CMX standard website) and you want to keep both, you have to tell CumulusUtils where it can find the realtime files. For this purpose in the cumulusutils.ini file you will find in section [Website] the parameter

Code: Select all

CumulusRealTimeLocation=/

That is where you enter the location of the realtime files relative to the website root from an FTP view. This may differ for each provider. So it can be

Code: Select all

/

But it might just as well be anywhere as long as it is on the same domain (see also the manual).

Good Luck

Running nginx on my ASUS thinker board
I do have these sym link in cumulusutils folder, weather3 is the CumulusMX folder

Code: Select all

dailyrain.json -> ../weather3/dailyrain.json
dailytemp.json -> ../weather3/dailytemp.json
graphconfig.json -> ../weather3/graphconfig.json
humdata.json -> ../weather3/humdata.json
pressdata.json -> ../weather3/pressdata.json
raindata.json -> ../weather3/raindata.json
realtime.txt -> ../weather3/realtime.txt
realtimegauges.txt -> ../weather3/realtimegauges.txt

sunhours.json -> ../weather3/sunhours.json
tempdata.json -> ../weather3/tempdata.json
wdirdata.json -> ../weather3/wdirdata.json
winddata.json -> ../weather3/winddata.json

Do you have ssh access to your web server?

[HansR]

Ah yes, that's true. @rogerthn had a very nice unix sym link solution.

[stef942]

never tried, only with filezilla

[rogerthn]

If you are able to access the web server with ssh e.g. using PuTTY
cd into the CMX folder (http://stef942.free.fr/CMX/)

Code: Select all

ln -s ../CumulusMX/dailyrain.json
ln -s ../CumulusMX/dailytemp.json
ln -s ../CumulusMX/graphconfig.json
ln -s ../CumulusMX/humdata.json
ln -s ../CumulusMX/pressdata.json
ln -s ../CumulusMX/raindata.json
ln -s ../CumulusMX/realtime.txt
ln -s ../CumulusMX/realtimegauges.txt
ln -s ../CumulusMX/tempdata.json
ln -s ../CumulusMX/wdirdata.json
ln -s ../CumulusMX/winddata.json

No solar i.e. no can skip solardata.json and sunhours.json

Looks like port 22 isn't open

That's what nmap did tell me
Are you able to ftp from the raspberry?

Code: Select all

sudo apt install lftp
HOST="stef942.free.fr"
USER="YourUserName"
PASS="YourPassword"
FTPURL="ftp://$USER:$PASS@$HOST"
lftp -c "set ftp:list-options -a;
open '$FTPURL';
ls"

[stef942]

i try

[rogerthn]

Good
Now extend lftp to verify that we are in the CMX folder

Code: Select all

HOST="stef942.free.fr"
USER="YourUserName"
PASS="YourPassword"
FTPURL="ftp://$USER:$PASS@$HOST"
LCD="/home/pi/CumulusMX"
RCD="CMX"
lftp -c "set ftp:list-options -a;
open '$FTPURL';
ls"

Do you see the cumulusutils files?

[stef942]

no when i type ls it says :
open: .free.fr: Name or service not know
ls: Not connected

[rogerthn]

Paste as below with your username and password including the final <ENTER>

Code: Select all

HOST="stef942.free.fr"
USER="YourUserName"
PASS="YourPassword"
FTPURL="ftp://$USER:$PASS@$HOST"
LCD="/home/pi/CumulusMX"
RCD="CMX"
lftp -c "set ftp:list-options -a;
open '$FTPURL';
ls"

This should give you something?

[stef942]

yes it works i see all the files
