NOAA reports...

I'm using BetelJuice's NOAA Reports page on my website. This morning, Cumulus "burped" when it opened. The dayfile was not written for yesterday. I closed Cumulus, I think I corrected everything, but I am noticing the NOAA Report page has no data for the Dec 30th(yesterday). I edited the NOAA monthly report in Cumulus to include the 30th(it was not there) but how do I upload the new monthly NOAA Report to the web? Should I just wait until the roll-over tonight and let it take care of itself? Any ideas appreciated.....

Oh ..and Happy New Year to all!!!!

You could either just wait, or use an ftp client and do it manually.

If you want me to investigate the 'burp', zip up the diags folder and attach it. Note that if there is a problem when you start Cumulus up at any time, you can always make it have another go by stopping it and copying the files from the backup folder which it will just have created, into the data folder and starting it up again. The copying of the files effectively puts you back in the same state you were in before you started Cumulus up. Depending on what the problem was, it may have more success the second time.

I've never "zipped" before so here goes....
cumulus.7z
I may just wait, but if I ftp, where am I ftp'g too? Where does Cumulus send this NOAA file?

It did the rollover correctly, and created the NOAA reports, but something had dayfile.txt open and prevented Cumulus writing to it:

12/31/2013 09:21:32.875 : Error writing dayfile.txt: I/O error 32
12/31/2013 09:21:32.875 : If the above error mentions I/O error 32, something on your system is locking the file and preventing Cumulus writing to it
12/31/2013 09:21:32.875 : Cumulus has been unable to write to dayfile.txt; please insert the following data into the file
12/31/2013 09:21:32.875 : 30/12/13,25.1,248,18:24,25.3,04:33,36.7,14:17,29.98,01:03,30.18,19:22,0.00,00:03,0.00,29.9,115.3,15.2,00:53,32,12:42,60,03:43,0.000,0.0,36.7,14:17,29.5,15:40,12.2,00:53,0.00,00:03,14.3,00:53,16.4,13:07,8.1,21:29,246,35.9,0.0,0,00:03,0,00:03

It would presumably have uploaded the NOAA reports at the next upload, but you closed it down before it had chance.
I may just wait, but if I ftp, where am I ftp'g too? Where does Cumulus send this NOAA file?
To wherever you've told it to send them, on the NOAA configuration screen.
