StartDate problem in MX

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.

StartDate problem in MX

Post by theweissguy »

In Cumulus 1:
StartDate=07/13/2011

No matter how I set the StartDate in the CumulusMX .ini file (e.g., Wednesday, July 13, 2011 or 07/13/2011) it always reverts to Monday, May 2, 2016. Where is this being picked up from?

The only place Cumulus gets that from is the StartDate= line in Cumulus.ini. When you say it reverts, where are you looking? In Cumulus.ini? Have you got a second StartDate line somewhere in Cumulus.ini? Are you editing Cumulus.ini with Cumulus stopped?

Rechecked, problem gone. Must have been brain dead time - probably tried changing ini while cumulus was running.
