Hi,
I updated Cumulus MX and t the moment i'm running the old website from cumulus 1.
My question is how can i run the old website and in the meantime have the new MX to update as well so i can change / develop it?
Regards,
Felix.

Set up a sub directory in your web server i.e. cumulusmx so that the web address is
http://your webaddress/cumulusmx/index.html and the follow the instructions on setting up a new CumulusMX website in the Wiki. The FTP for CumulusMX will point to whatever your Cumulus 1 FTP points to plus /cumulusmx
That way you will have two websites
http://your webaddress/index.html and
http://your webaddress/cumulusmx/index.html

I'm doing something similar here,
Existing site is
http://weather.inverellit.com/index.htm
and new site is
http://weather.inverellit.com/new/index.htm
On the existing site I've also pointed "Now" on the index.htm to the new site with <a href="new/index.htm" target="_blank">now</a>,
So if I click on "Now" at the main page it opens the new site in a new tab.
I've also put a .htaccess file in the /new directory, so I don't need to upload all the data files to /new as well as the level above.
Not sure if that's to complex for what you want.
.htaccess looks like this.....
(In /new not the folder above).
Code: Select all
# This prevents web browsers or spiders from seeing your .htaccess directives:
<Files .htaccess>
deny from all
</Files>
RewriteEngine On

But you have https in the URL and apparently no certificate: Secure Connection Failed
Code: Select all
An error occurred during a connection to prosperousweather.wbt-pc.com. A required TLS feature is missing.
Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_REQUIRED_TLS_FEATURE_MISSING
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.

Hans I am not getting that in Edge, both sites are displaying the lock and the detail shows the certificate.
This site has a valid certificate, issued by a trusted authority.

Hmm... indeed seems to be a FF problem. Chrome is working fine.
[EDIT:]
For anybody having the same issue with FF, the following worked for me:
Code: Select all
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste ocsp and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the security.ssl.enable_ocsp_must_staple preference to switch the value from true to false

I thought I wold try this rather than using Extra web Files. I put the .htaccess file in C1 the subdirectory weatherMX without any success using this code sample.
Code: Select all

Did you ultimately get the rewrites to work?
In my case the simple test I used to see if it was working was to attempt to open:-
http://weather.inverellit.com/new/realtimegauges.txt which does not exist,
but redirects & opens
http://weather.inverellit.com/realtimegauges.txt
Should be able to duplicate that in your case.

Not as yet. I may not have it right though, obviously.
From my understanding in my case, the .htaccess file is in the same directory that MX sends the files to which is the parent directory "weatherMX" and the .htaccess file rewrites the file to the subdirectory "C1" with as an example:
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^realtimegauges.txt$ /C1/realtimegauges.txt [NC,L]
I also tried using the full address with out success.
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^realtimegauges.txt$ https://blazingcomet.com/weatherMX/C1/realtimegauges.txt [NC,L]
I'm also not clear on what triggers the .htaccess to do its thing.

I've not followed this closely, but don't you want the htaccess in the new folder pointing back to root folder where you say the file is being uploaded to?

I not sure I tried that way in an earlier post with a number of variations without success
Code: Select all

Do you have rewrite rules enabled on your web server? The mod_rewrite module needs to be enabled in the web server config. (details vary depending on the web server software)

If it wasn't enabled then I'm sure the web server would refuse to start. It could be the case that the setting that enables use of .htaccess files isn't correct/disabled. If that was the case then the .htaccess file instructions would be ignored. It would be useful to look in the server log file to see what response was logged for the request for realtimegauges.txt. If it was a 404 response code then the .htaccess file is likely being ignored.

OK, in CPanel Error logs when I change the name of the .htaccess file I get:
Code: Select all
2022-08-04 10:37:37.890081 [INFO] [597543] [T0] [HTAccess] Configuration file [/home/blazingc/public_html/weatherMX/C1/.htaccess] has been removed.
I'm guessing from that the htaccess is enabled?
