Unable to access "Extra Web Files"

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.

Unable to access "Extra Web Files"

Post by Dewie »

I noticed the realtime.xml file I had setup for my phone app to use was no longer being updated, when I tried to access "Extra Web Files" via the Cumulus MX web interface I'm getting the attached error in my browser.

I'd been having a problem with my Weather Underground password not staying changed (I reset it some time ago, every time the power goes out/my cat knocks the power cord out of my Raspberry Pi running Cumulus MX I have to reset it) so I opted to create a back-up of all my Cumulus Data and "re-install" Cumulus by copying all files to the Pi again (and restoring my data back-ups). Interestingly enough everything is behaving exactly as it did before.

I've looked through the forum here and wasn't seeing any mention of either of these two issues by anyone else. Anyone run across something similar? I've been using Cumulus MX for quite some time now without any major issue (other than I have so much historical data it's extremely slow to startup on my old Pi)

This error is being thrown by the third party editablegrid component. I'm afraid I have no idea what it means.

I have no idea what that even is... to the best of my knowledge I don't have anything third party installed...

Even more curious - I just went to double check something and noticed the "fresh" directory containing Cumulus MX isn't fresh... what was:

drwxr-xr-x 9 pi pi 4096 Jan 2 2016 CumulusMX
drwxr-xr-x 9 pi pi 4096 Mar 13 2016 CumulusMX _bu_2017-01-02

is now again:

-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1633 Jan 11 2016 cumulusmx
drwxr-xr-x 9 pi pi 4096 Mar 13 2016 CumulusMX
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 6385341 Feb 17 2016 CumulusMXDist3036.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 754 Feb 23 2016 cumulusmx.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 23 2016 ftplog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32 Feb 23 2016 serial.txt

Not only is the new directory not there but stuff I deleted is back.... (after a reboot)

time to start over fresh I think... now to make sure I have everything necessary backed up...

It's a component used by Cumulus MX.
