Web gauges stopped updating

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Web gauges stopped updating

Post by jon_iz »

I am running CumulusMX build 3036b on a Pi model B.
It has run flawlessly for a couple of month with the exception of a rogue rainfall rate figure earlier this month.
That is until about 2 days ago, where it appears to have stopped updating the website at 01:45 on 20/4.
The dashboard on the Pi shoes everything as it should

I've enabled ftp logging at there isn't anything shouting out apart from a "//" in the path of the realtime.txt file destination? I can't see how this would change for this file from the settings?

Looking at the main log files, it looks like there are errors trying to read from the socket stream.

Any ideas? :groan:

Looks like a problem with the ftp server - or the connection to it. Particularly as you didn't change any settings, and restarting Cumulus didn't help.

One thing you could try is changing the 'active ftp' setting to the opposite of what you have now. Possibly a firewall configuration has changed somewhere.

Thanks Steve..
I'll look into it later.

Out of interest, is the "//" in the path correct?

You've probably put a slash on the end when you've specified the ftp directory - I think Cumulus 1 strips it off if you do that. It shouldn't make any difference.

Active FTP fixed it...
