Changes to Twitter account not updating

Post by ayde_bury »

Good evening and Happy Easter in advance to everyone.

I've recently decided to allow Cumulus MX 3038 to feed my business twitter account instead of my personal one and so firstly changed the details using the web interface to the new account/password and restarted the application only for it to still feed the old account.

So I checked Cumulus.ini and sure enough the settings were pointing to the correct twitter account. I deleted them and manually re-entered them (after closing cumulus of course) and after a restart the wrong twitter account still gets fed. Below are the MX logs and INI section in question.

Any help or thoughts on this would be really appreciated as it's starting to annoy now :(

Did you remove these two? If so, was Cumulus stopped at the time?

Excellent. I remembered Steve solving a similar problem a little while back.

I did search the Cumulus MX forum for posts containing Twitter, but found very little. Perhaps I should of widened the search to everything.

Once again great work.
