First time install, howto create realtime.txt

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).

Assuming this is a Windows path there is no such path as c:\\ it should be C:\CumulusMX, hence why the line is in red as the field is in error and the path cannot be located.

Realtime.txt is automatically created once you have set up your Internet Connection to your web site or as you doing a local copy and you have set up a realtime interval and ticked either FTP or local copy the file.

Generating and uploading of realtime.txt and realtimegauges.txt is configured from settings -> internet settings -> interval configuration -> real time interval settings.

Do you really want to copy the file into the root CMX folder?
