Linux help for MX data files

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).

Linux help for MX data files

Post by studebaker »

I recently switched from Cumulus 1 running on Windows 10, to CumulusMX running on RPi. The switchover went fairly smoothly with one exception. I have 9+ years of data which unfortunately has some incorrect entries. I have corrected the spikes, but am unable to upload the amended files. I realize that this is a Linux permissions issue vs a CuMX issue, but if anyone can offer some assistance it would be appreciated.

Have you tried uploading the files using the same user that owns your MX data files?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have, and I also watched some good Youtube vids explaining linux permissions today which made things clearer. I'll persevere and eventually get it sorted. "Rome wasn't built in a day" etc.
Cheers

Check the permissions on the folder that the data files are in too (that's the "data" folder in your MX installation folder).
