I have the following error message when I access this file the following message appears
http://desford-weather.co.uk/ImportCumulusFile.php

Running from web server
Error: You must supply a 'file' parameter/value

Don't it load like that? have to put a parameter in there?

http://desford-weather.co.uk/ImportCumu ... ayfile.txt

The dayfile.txt file must in the same place as your ImportCumulusFile.php i.e. uploaded on the webserver, not pointed at your CumulusMX Data Directory.

What version you on laulau?

I am on 4.0 latest is 4.1

There was an error in 4.0 for some people (I was one of them and I helped Mark test 4.1) who had existing tables that is why 4.1 was released, I suggest you try that version.

Thank you.

Which file is the monthly log thats used on the table called monthly?

Sometimes you can answer your questions by looking at the wiki in this case the rather obvious page is https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Monthly_log_files



I think Steve Loft's naming scheme was rather illogical, his daily log has 1 line per day, but only one file.

His monthly log has lots of lines, but a separate file for each month.
(In early versions of ImportCumulusFile, if I recall correctly, there was one monthly table for each month). The monthly table in MX is made up of rows from lines in all monthly log files.

Updated to 4.1 and following message appears:-

End.

I had to delete the Table and then reload the URL again and it works. Won't spam it all but at the end should say it's successful.

By the way you could of also have used that little known program ExportMySql.exe that is in the same MX folder as CumulusMX. It works in a command window and has 1 parameter either dayfile or monthly.

In then updates your dayfile or ALL your monthly log files from your PC's data directory to the MySQL database defined in the CumulusMX MySQL area and held in the Cumulus.ini file. Worked well for me.
