Cumulus MX fails to start (Win10 X64)

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.

Cumulus MX fails to start (Win10 X64)

Post by Phc95610 »

Hello,
I'm a newbie here and just downloaded Cumulus MX (used Cumulus 1.XX previously). I have a Davis Vantage Pro2 with a USB data logger.

When I close either Cumulus or Weatherlink and try to open cumulusMX in administrator mode I have a command line window opened and ending like this :

=====
Current culture: Français (France)
Serial: 3653A840E00660A187BE19C38AA2C32B
Cumulus MX v.3.0.0 build 3038
Station type not set
Cumulus running at: http://*:8998/
(Replace * with any IP address on this machine, or localhost)
Starting web socket server on port 8002
23/04/2016 15:47:43
Type Ctrl-C to terminate
=======
and nothing anymore...

Could you help please ?
Regards

That looks OK to me - it's started, why do you think it hasn't? What happens when you try to view the user interface in your browser? You have read the instructions?

Hi,
Because I only have a "command line window". Program itself doesn't open at all.

There is no program like the old Cumulus you access the running server via your browser of choice by entering

http://*:8998/
(Replace * with any IP address on this machine, or localhost)

As it says.

So, it could be http://localhost:8998/ or httpt://192.168.1.70:8998/ as mine is on my local network. The CumulusMX frontend will then appear and you can do all the settings etc. via that.
