Keep / Update rain records before update

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).

Keep / Update rain records before update

Post by SUBYDAZZ »

What do I need to do to get MX to keep the current daily / montly / yearly rain totals before updating to a new version, as each time I do this it resets to zero. Is there an easy way to find this imformation to edit it post-update?

It is stored in the data files, hence should transfer over between updates. I've updated lots of times and it always transfers over. I know this is of little help to your predicament, but should serve as a pointer that something is probably not quite correct with your setup, rather than there being a bug in MX.

Hmm, thanks. I thought it was odd, pretty sure it used to a while back. Anyone have any ideas what to look for?

How do you update each release as that may have something to do with your problem i.e. update existing directory, build a new one and unzip into it etc.

I've just been overwriting the updated files as advised in the update thread, everything else stays the same.
