No website refresh after 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).

No website refresh after update

Post by TonyG »

Hi all,
This is probably really simple but I myself cannot get to the bottom of it. I'm running MX on Windows 10. Yesterday I updated from 3096 to the 3122.
As I have done in the past I simply copied the new files and folders into my existing folder and overwrote all existing files and folders. Seeing there have been changes to the default webpage the only two folders I did not include in this process were the folders web and webfiles. For those I retained my existing files and folders as I did not want the layout to change on my website page.
( https://www.astroadventures.co.uk/weather/index.htm )
As far as the MX dashboard is concerned all is working well.
The problem is my website page has now stuck on the last refresh before I updated. I checked the Internet settings and all FTP details seemed to be unchanged. The FTP log looks (as far as I understand it) OK but the page is just not updating. FTP log attached.
Undoubtedly this is because I did not overwrite the two web folders and something fundamental has not been included. Can anyone tell me how to fix this while still retaining my own version of the old website page?

Thanks in advance. Tony.

Hi there

you may want to take a read of the Web site design and how it works, along with how to use the new MX (3.10.x) with older web design templates

Sorry, but if you want to keep the old web site, there are some one-time steps you need to take.

As per one of the links above: I_want_to_keep_the_old_web_site_completely, but_also_update_to_MX_v3.10.2

Ah.... Thanks very much guys. I didn't see that on the Wiki. I thought the template had simply changed. Project for a wet afternoon I think. :-)
Just realised I've posted this in the wrong place too......
