Im not at home at the moment to check on this issue, but my status pages keeps coming up with this error
Error writing alltime.ini: Cannot create file "C:\Cumulus\data\alltime.ini". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
Its happened a few time over the last hour or more....
Maybe a restart of cumulus would fix this???
Will be some hours before I'm home to look into this...

Re: error writing to all time.ini file in use
It's possible - perhaps there was a problem closing the file when Cumulus wrote to it previously, so the system still thinks Cumulus has it open. This problem is more usually something else, e.g. anti-virus software, which is preventing Cumulus from writing to the file.ace2 wrote:Maybe a restart of cumulus would fix this???

Re: error writing to all time.ini file in use
Thanks Steve.
I was kind of looking into that. Just want to arm myself with possible fixed from when I get home. Don't want to be awake till the crack of dawn research once I get home...
How often does that file get written anyway?
Just looking at my today page and there are a lot temp and wind spikes, so somthing is not right!!!
