realtime.xml

[johlaf]

Only new to this, so this may be simple.
I have my station and Cumulus setup and working to the web. www.lafferty.com.au/weather
The only thing I can not get to output to the web is a realtime.xml file.
I have the C:\Cumulus\cumulusxml.tpltmp outputing to ftp location of /www.lafferty.com.au/weather/realtime.xml

any help?

Cheers
John

Has can often happen, I figured out the answer after posting. I had to unselect the "Web Settings" "Enable Realtime FTP"

But now for the Weather Station Android application I would like the sunbird.txt file - how do I do that?

Is it not supplied with the application that you are trying to use? It's not a standard Cumulus file. Is that realtime.xml file for the same app?

Your solution for the updating of the realtime.xml file isn't logical, all you have done is stop Cumulus doing any ftp at the realtime interval. This means that your realtime.txt file at http://www.lafferty.com.au/weather/realtime.txt is no longer updating, and hence the Flash gauges on http://www.lafferty.com.au/weather/gauges.htm are no longer updating. Anything else you might want to use in future which involves realtime ftp will not work.

Presumably you don't have 'realtime' selected on the files tab for that realtime.xml file, so you want it uploading at the 'standard' interval rather than the 'realtime' interval?

sunbird.txt is available here

Right click on the above link and use Save As. Put it in the Cumulus directory along with reatime.xml and then add it to the Cumulus file upload making sure you tick the process box.
