Twitter error

Post by PaulMy »

I was encouraged to use Twitter and quickly got it setup and working last night. In my haste I used a registration name that I wanted to change so removed that first working Twitter account and signed up with a new KomokaWeather account. This new account works as I can send a tweet, but Cumulus is not able to upload the tweets at the set interval. This is a sample of the Diags file -
11/19/14 17:30:02.555 : Requesting Twitter tokens
11/19/14 17:30:06.215 : Access token response: oauth_token=[removed]-[removed]&oauth_token_secret=[removed]&user_id=[removed]&screen_name=KomokaWeather&x_auth_expires=0
11/19/14 17:30:06.215 : HTTP response code: 200
11/19/14 17:30:06.529 : Twitter update error: HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required

The name and password has been rechecked to be correct, I have removed the Oauthtoken= and OauthTokenSecret= lines from the cumulus.ini after stopping Cumulus and then restarting as per suggestion in a previous post.

Everything in this new account seems to be set up similar to the initial account that did work. Any suggestions?

Sometimes it does seem to take a little while for Twitter to start accepting updates after changing accounts (or setting up a new one), I don't know why that is.

Thanks for posting this, by the way. As soon as I saw the title, I checked my Twitter page and mine had stopped on November 15th (I'm using the new as yet unreleased version of Cumulus). I had updated some dependencies on that day and forgotten to change a config file. All fixed and working again.
