Time usage and ftp problem

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).

Time usage and ftp problem

Post by climasaladillo »

Hi guys.

Install the latest version of CumulusMx on my raspberry pi.

The issue is that I can't get ftp uploads to work.
the connection with ftp is successful but it does not load the realtime.txt

And another important detail is that, when I change the time zone of the raspy (which by default comes in London and I pass it to Argentina)
All values ​​on the Cumulus page are set to "0".
I mean the connection exists but with values ​​in "0"
I clarify that the regional configurations do not modify them

If I go back to the original schedule, raspy starts again to show the correct data.

My station is a fine offset wh-1081 connected to a raspberry pi 3

I currently have this version
Cumulus MX 3.10.5 b3122
working perfectly, but I would like to be up to date.

I was comparing all the configurations and they are the same :?

Are you just changing the time zone, or the whole locale?

You cannot change the locale CMX after you have run it (not unless you edit all the data files to match the new locale.

If you change the locale, then try a new install of CMX and see if that works.

If not, then please post the MXdiags file.

I'm having the same problem with CMX b3215
Tried realtime.txt upload under "Real time Interval Settings" and as "Extra Web Files".

Normal 15 m uploads do work.

Code: Select all

Have you checked that the realtime.txt and realtimegauges.txt exist and have some content? Have you ticked the generate -option for both? (Screenshot from my install attached).

Also have you stopped and restarted CMX? If you reconfigure ftp settings, they are not applied to realtime connection without restart since the connection is kept open all the time.

FTP logging is not saved in the MXDiags .txt file it is in a file called ftplog.txt.

"Unkown command" error was because of EPSV, disabled EPSV in settings and it is working now. Thanks a lot!
