Cumulus is creating HTMTMP files

Post by BrianU »

The last couple of days I've been missing the active wind gauges (which I believe are generated by a SWF file) on my website. I discovered that the problem seems to be that instead of creating weather_gauges.htm, Cumulus is creating weather_gauges.htmtmp.

Does anyone have a suggestion about how I can correct this?

Thanks,
Brian

It's working correctly; it appends 'tmp' to the file name of any 'extra' files you supply, to avoid overwriting the input template. It specifies the correct name when uploading it to the ftp server. If you have the ftp rename option selected, it also uploads the file with 'tmp' appended, and then renames it to the required name.

Could you please give a link to the page that is giving you the issue, the name of the page is not a standard Cumulus file, and it's not clear from your description what the problem is.

I discovered that the problem was the result of corrupted files due to a system crash. Cumulus is now reading the correct file after I located the original, so it is once again working correctly. Thanks for considering the problem. The issue is resolved and this thread can be closed.

Thanks,
Brian
