Cumulus Support

Hi people. I've been running MX on a Raspberry Pi for almost a year but want to move it to an Ubuntu computer. I moved the CumulusMX folder to it's new home and it starts to run but crashes after a few seconds. The new folder structure is a little different and I'm thinking that may be where my problem is but not sure. Here is the error.

I also looked in the MXdiags folder at the log and I see this error.

I looked at the file and can't see anything wrong with the data.

Anyone have any ideas?

Now I don't think it is a path issue. I did a fresh install meaning no old data. I just downloaded the latest zip and put it in a directory with my config file and I get the same address already in use error. The log in MXdiags has no errors.

Something else is already using the port that Cumulus uses for its interface - 8998. It could be another program, in which case you need to use the port parameter to get Cumulus to use a different port, or (more likely, perhaps) you already have an instance of Cumulus running.

If you can't see the problem in the log file, zip it up and attach it. Are you using a good editor which shows control codes etc?

I got it working. Not sure why this would have helped but I move the USB connector to a different port and restarted the software and it started working. Weird. At least it works now.
