Empty month values
After updating CumulusMX from build 3063 to build 3072 and copied old Cumulus.ini, Cumulus/data files, Cumulus/web files, strings.ini, cumulusmx.sh and cumulusmxsh.conf, pages thisyear.htm, record.htm and monthlyrecord.htm only have December values. All other moths values are empty.
What must I do?

You may need to check your Records Began Date. You will find this under Settings > Station Settings > General Settings > Advanced Options.

Re: Empty month values
What folder have you installed into?
Please zip up and attach your MXdiags folder.

Re: Empty month values
I am at 40km from the station and I will go there next week. It is running in a Raspberry pi. But I have transferred the last MXdiags, that is attached.

Re: Empty month values
Hi,
CumulusMX has changed a lot over this time, including what is being logged in MXdiags. Your MXdiags logs seem very limited with a lot of times being more than 10 minutes and even more than 30 minutes between logging.
Current CumulusMX is much more helpful in diagnosing what is going on.
But note the comment in settings
Enjoy,
Paul
Both those versions 3.3.0 and 3.5.1 are now quite old, with current being v3.22.4 build 3215!After updating CumulusMX from build 3063 to build 3072

IMPORTANT: You MUST keep the same date format when editing this field.It is highly recommended that all the files and folders of a new build be installed over top of existing rather than select files/folders. An exception could be the template files in CumulusMX\web folder may have modified to suit your website.and copied old Cumulus.ini, Cumulus/data files, Cumulus/web files, strings.ini, cumulusmx.sh and cumulusmxsh.conf,

Re: Empty month values
All the data is contained in the files in the /data folder. So if you copy over the whole folder and the Cumulus.ini file, the new install will have all the same data as the previous install. All I can think is that you have not copied all the files.

Re: Empty month values
Thank you for your answer. Indeed I had not transferred data files. Now I have made it but the situation is the same. I attach the Mxdiags file made after the transference.

Re: Empty month values
When I tried to transfer file alltimemonthly.ini there was a message saying it was not possible. Now I deleted that file and transferred the old one. Then I have page monthlyrecord.htm with all months values. But pages thisyear.htm and record.htm only have December values.Then there was the same situation with file year.in but nothing changed after having transferred it.

Re: Empty month values
Problem solved. I copied all ini files from old /data folder after deleting the new ones.

Re: Empty month values
Two years ago I have adapted datasummary.php file to show daily values of temperature, humidity, rain and pressure of the current year. I use ImportCumulusFile.php to do that. Now, after updating Cumulus there are some missing days (between November 23 and December 21) after the updating. I found that dayfile.txt of the server doesn’t have those missing days but dayfile.txt in CumulusMX folder have those days. I have transferred dayfile.txt with all days to the server but the next day I verify that the server dayfile.txt of the server does not have those days.

Re: Empty month values
How are you copying the day file to your server? That is not a standard CMX feature so it must be something you have configured; it sounds like it is copying the file from the wrong location.

Re: Empty month values
I think that I made uploading dayfile.txt to the server by using http://localhoest:8998. But as I am far away from the station I don't know how to do that through the internet.
