Cumulus MX suddenly stopped running

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Cumulus MX suddenly stopped running

Post by hw1958 »

I was running v3074 and it was working fine today. Came back to check it and it appeared to have stopped for no apparent reason. Closed it and restarted again but it gets to the line 'Type CNTL-C to terminate' and just stops.
Uploaded V3075 to see if it made any difference but does the same.
Any suggestions?

Connected to station
Cumulus running at: http://*:8998/
(Replace * with any IP address on this machine, or localhost)
Open the admin interface by entering this URL in a browser.
Have you gone to a new browser window and enter localhost:8998 as that should get you to the dashboard, or yourlocalip:8998 something like 192.168.0.50:8998

Any useful information in the MXdiags file?

Enjoy,
Paul

It appears that Cumulus MX.exe does not fully open / run. When i run it I get as shown below. It then just stops. In the past it has downloaded data and then the last line is something along the lines of 'Running as normal'

Current culture: English (United Kingdom)
Cumulus MX v.3.5.4 build 3075
Station type not set
Cumulus running at: http://*:8998/

Oh Hang on !!!
I've just changed the COM port in the Station Settings and it is now working.

That's great although I don't understand why it should randomly change in the first place to stop it working.

Anyway I'm OK now so thanks for your help and suggestions
