Cumulus (latest) stopped updating APRS (findu.com)

I have a VP2 with Weatherlink 6.0.3 and decided to give Cumulus a try. After I first installed it and configured it, it uploaded to APRS for a day or so and then quit. It updates the other weather sites but not this one. WL works just fine though so I'm stumped. I use the same login (my station ID in APRS) on both. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

What's your CWOP station ID? What version and build of Cumulus are you using? If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I'll see if I can see anything. If you turn on the debug log, the uploads to CWOP are logged in there, but I don't think CWOP actually responds with a message to indicate success or failure.

I am attaching a zip of the diags folder as well as a capture of the internet configs screen. I am running the 1.9.4 (build 1097) version of Cumulus. My station ID is DM6112 and the setup is the same as Weatherlink which works fine. Thanks for any help you can provide.

You're allowing Windows to suspend/sleep/hibernate:

7/22/2014 18:46:52.115 : Windows SUSPEND broadcast received

When that happens, Cumulus will stop running (and obviously stop updating CWOP), but even when you resume from sleep, it may not resume updating. As it says in the readme.txt, you cannot allow your PC to go into standby mode while Cumulus is running.

Looking at your CWOP data (your ID is actually DW6112) it appears that you haven't supplied Cumulus with your co-ordinates, so it is sending an incorrect location to CWOP.

Thanks for the help. I thought that like WL, you could suspend and it would resume upon reawakening. As for the station ID - fumble fingers. I also put in the Lat/Long for the station. Hopefully, that will help.

It seems to be working now. Thanks!
