Local website creation

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).

Local website creation

Post by Vulture »

I'm sorry if I'm missing instructions on the wiki or in the forum, but I am having problems and the most detailed instructions seem to refer to earlier versions of Cumulus.

I have CumulusMX 3.15.3 running on Windows 10 and a web server mapped from my network drive. I am using the template files copied from the webfiles directory. I have copied the entire directory to the server.

Issues:
  • index.html loads with current data but there is no menu appearing in the menu bar at the top.
  • gauges.html works fine
  • historic.htm loads but nothing shows. historic#solar indicates "loading" but nothing comes up. all other links are blank
  • monthlyrecord.htm works as expected
  • record.htm works as expected
  • selectachart.htm loads but no menu at the bottom nothing loads
  • trends.htm loads but only trends#windDir and trends#sunhours result in graphs. trends#solar shows "loading" but nothing results
  • today.htm, yesterday.htm, thismonth.htm, and thisyear.htm behave as expected.
Are there a set of instructions for setting up/copying files to a local webserver? What have I missed that might result in the above abnormalities?

Thanks

Did you go through all the setup steps from the WiKi ?
Especially the first paragraph ?
https://cumuluswiki.org/a/New_Default_W ... nformation
It's three sentences only but it contains a lot of information to be considered/followed !

After having copied your \webfiles (or /webfiles depending on your operation system) folder to your server on which your web server (program) runs (remote, local, doesn't matter), you must provide current data to the site which are either provided via FTP (remote or local) or copy (local only).
