Can't Change MX(3036/3038) long/lat Settings!

Greetings,
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. MX is working fine, but when I zoom in on my station in google maps, it's off by a bit. So I went into the station settings using http://localhost:8998/stationsettings.html, and it allowed me to change the long and lat fields. However, when I pressed 'save' nothing happened. Usually a dialog box pops up to tell me that it 'saved'... This did not occur. Then I closed MX (Ctl-C) and manually edited the cumulus.ini file. Saved it, and re-loaded MX. Same thing. the old data remained. This begs the question,,, does MX store the info elsewhere than the cumulus.ini file? If so, how can I make such minor changes?

Regards.

It's just stopped in the ini file. Do you get a red outline on any of the input boxes on the setup screen?

One or more items, somewhere on the page, will have an error message associated with it/them.

OK. Found it. In the Davis Section (which I do not use) there are two radio buttons. (serial and tcp/ip). Neither was clicked by default, so all the fields on the Station Settings went red.
Might I suggest that a default is used even when the hardware is not Davis. Thanks for the clues, gents. Much appreciated.

There are defaults for all settings. I have no idea why you didn't have the defaults.
