Cumulus Release 3099 randomware recovery problem

[Joe Curtis]

I have suffered a randomware attack on my network which got to the RPI running CumulusMX. Although this is incrementally backed up the full back was also affected. Having cleaned the system (as far as I can tell) I have downloaded 3099 (I was on 3097) but on trying to restart I got the following:-

pi@******:~ $ cd /home/pi/CumulusMX
pi@******:~/CumulusMX $ sudo mono CumulusMX.exe
Cumulus MX v.3.9.4 build 3099
Working Dir: /home/pi/CumulusMX/
Station type not set

Press Enter to terminate

I have used the complete download with the exception of the web layouts which are my own.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. MXdiags.txt attached.

Do you not have a copy of your Cumulus.ini file that you can use?

Anyway, are you starting Cumulus using sudo? It looks like it does not have permission to start its internal web service.

Anyway, are you starting Cumulus using sudo?

@ Mark: yes he is - his post starts:
pi@******:~ $ cd /home/pi/CumulusMX
pi@******:~/CumulusMX $ sudo mono CumulusMX.exe

My first thought was that something else may be using port 8998.

I have gone back to 3097 and copied in a valid cumulus.ini file and it works ok.
Would a missing ini file have caused the problem?

I have now re loaded 3099 with a valid .ini file and it all seems ok.
