Cumulus Support

Without going into a very long story - I'm updating to the current version of Cumulus but it's showing an incorrect Last station update time (11 hours behind current time).

The last Cumulus update time is correct however. I always install an updated version of Cumulus in a new directory to make sure that I'm not overriding previous installation details, and it appears that all of the settings (Station Type, TCP/IP settings, Web/FTP site, Web FTP settings) are correct.

Can anybody point me to what could be causing this issue?

Incorrect time on console or on the Windows PC?

I'm unsure of your location, but perhaps this could be a timezone issue.

Running Cumulus on my PC - time is correct.

Running Cumulus on my Raspberry Pi (new installation) - incorrect update time.

Possibly a post for somewhere else... but at least on my PC on starting Cumulus, I get the start up messages regarding today.ini and last update time - these don't appear using the cumulus build for raspberry...

If you SSH in to your Pi and type the following:
and then hit return. Does it display the date and time you expect?

Thanks Freddie,

Pi was showing the time as GMT. A quick google search, and I've found out how to change it. Timezone successfully changed to Melbourne, Australia.

Logged back into Cumulus.

Local time on Cumulus matches the current time.

Last Cumulus update matches the current time

However....last station update is STILL 11 hours behind.

I am using Cumulus to ftp the realtime.txt file which I use to update my site. The realtime.txt file IS being successfully uploaded to my server, but no great surprise, shows the last station update timestamp on it - not the current time.

Any other suggestions?

It looked like a timezone problem to me.

Was Cumulus stopped when you changed the timezone?
Have you rebooted since changing the timezone? If yes, did you check to see if the change had persisted?

Hmm.

Very odd.

Cumulus was stopped.

Pi was rebooted.

I posted the above thread. Pi was turned off, and I was running Cumulus again from my PC.

Read your post freddie - turned the pi back on, checked the date - was showing the correct time. Checked Cumulus - and station update is now correct!!

No idea how it has 'fixed itself'' - but now working, so all is good.

Thanks.
