realtimegauges.txt not updating

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).

realtimegauges.txt not updating

Post by andersondj »

The realtimegaugesT.txt and hence the website realtimegauges.txt is no longer updating but instead producing empty files. I have ticked the option to process it. Is there an additional setting I need to enable the option?

Have you checked all the settings - Internet settings > Interval Configuration > Real time interval settings > Realtime [tick] Enable Real time and Generate and FTP transfer?

Enjoy,
Paul

Yes, all settings are correct. It maybe worth noting that realtime.txt is being created OK but reatimegauges.txt is being created without data.

Following your advice Paul I checked realtimegaugesT.txt and it was empty! I replaced it with another copy from my original distribution zip file and now all is well!
Thanks for your valuable help.
