Cumulus Support

Heya Terry,

yes, that was likely to not have been far from here at all.

As you say, lovely flat country, all ex river bed, so the ground here is very stony and bony. Thank goodness for artesian wells, is all I can say!

I might be missing the point here but I have Cumlus installed on my WHS Ex470 early model with upgraded memory only. I installed it from the remote desk top and it sits in C:\cumulus and has run for over a year and a half with no problems. USB is read fine it updates and does daily turn arounds I then FTP to my website which appears to work fine with only the very occasional glitch. It runs happly with another programme that controls my wood pellet burning central heating boiler which is also FTP'ed to the same site. The only difference is that it is not really running as a service but an always on remote desktop function. For interest Cumulus 2 also works ok in the same way. Users can then see the website but not from their log in this is I think this is what is wanted.
Website links below for those who have the interest and time, sorry for the Danish on the boiler but most of those who look at the website figures are Danish speaking......

I have found a way around putting WHS on the C: partition, rather than in the shared space, and making it available via IIS.

The built in "manage websites" control panel extension for the dumbed down user interface provided with my WHS install would not allow any websites to be added with the files directory stored outside the managed 'shares' of WHS. I've just gone in via the advanced control panels and tweaked it to point to a C:\ directory.

Possibly a dumb idea, if IIS is indeed as riddled with security holes as one has been led to believe, but hey.... it works!

I am, however, continuing to publish my weather station data to an external website, and point all external traffic to there, not the WHS machine. It was just bugging me enough that I had to kludge a fix!
