Ok. Could you post your dayfile.txt please?

And of course: welcome to the forum and the CumulusMX world :D

Hi,
That dayfile.txt appears to have 2 blank lines at the top. Using notepad++ remove them.

Enjoy,

I had briefly removed some incorrect days, but forgot to remove the empty rains, is now fixed,

If I do this,

Code: Select all

[General]
IgnoreDataErrors=true/false
DoLibraryIncludes=true (for modular use)/ false (for Website Generator use)
GeneratejQueryInclude=true (for modular use) /false (for Website Generator use)
Language=nl-NL
Then I get to see this,

@Gerrit:
For the cumulusutils.ini file you need to set the values:

You have:

Code: Select all

[General]
IgnoreDataErrors=true/false
DoLibraryIncludes=true (for modular use)/ false (for Website Generator use)
GeneratejQueryInclude=true (for modular use) /false (for Website Generator use)
Language=nl-NL
but it must be:

Code: Select all

[General]
IgnoreDataErrors=true
DoLibraryIncludes=false
GeneratejQueryInclude=false
Language=nl-NL
This assumes you are running for the website.

You must give the parameters a value with nothing behind it. The inifile is not free format.

Best is to let cumulusutils generate the inifile (it generates a parameter when needed so it is iterative) and then choose what value you want to give to the parameter. Best to start with [FTP] and [Maps], set the values and from then on take it module by module.

Hi Paul,
I have examined a few of the more recent files and all I see is correctly formatted files. Could you try running cutils again with the corrected copy of Aug18log.txt put in your data directory? Then attach the Cutils log file to a reply on this thread for Hans to take a look at. I would take a backup copy of your original Aug18log.txt file just in case I made a mistake when I edited it. I don't think I did make any mistakes but it always pays to be careful!

The inifile is created upon a succesful run in the CumulusMX directory and extended (or not) as required at each subsequent run.

With a next question, could you post the logfile please?

Het inifile wordt aangemaakt bij een succesvolle run in de CumulusMX directory en uitgebreid (of niet) zoals vereist bij elke volgende run.

Met een volgende vraag, zou je het logbestand kunnen posten?

This looks good. Now configure your FTP and your Maps sections. If you then run again you will have a basic website and from there you can configure the rest.
See the wiki as manual.

I've been doing a lot of searching in the wiki, maybe I'm reading it wrong, I do feel like I'm almost there.
But where should I put maps and ftp?
