Graphs/charts/trends not displaying on the website to which I upload my data

[martinu]

I've upgraded from CMX V3 to CMX V4. Everything works fine, once (in desperation) I copied the contents of the /webfiles folder (including subfolders) to my website to accompany the .json files from /web which get uploaded every minute. I couldn't find any instruction to do that one-off copy, so either I'm a bit thick or else it's missing from the installation instructions.

But... it's not displaying any graphs on any of the Charts... menu options - there is just a blank rectangle. What have I forgotten to do?

My website is http://goosebears.co.uk/V4weather/ The V3 one is http://goosebears.co.uk/weather/ - I want a bit of parallel running until I get things sorted out.

The /webs folder on my server contains:

(ignore the "C:\tmp\temp" prefix - I jsut copied the folder from the web site to my PC so I could so a hierarchical "dir /b /s" listing)

It's just started working. Panic over!

For some reason, starting "dotnet cumulusmx.dll" manually from the command line (as user pi, not with sudo) caused the graphs not to work, but creating a service and autostarting at it boot time:

sudo dotnet CumulusMX.dll -install -user pi
sudo systemctl enable cumulusmx

and then rebooting to test it - that's started it working. Weird!

Hi,

I've upgraded from CMX V3 to CMX V4. Everything works fine, once (in desperation) I copied the contents of the /webfiles folder (including subfolders) to my website to accompany the .json files from /web which get uploaded every minute. I couldn't find any instruction to do that one-off copy, so either I'm a bit thick or else it's missing from the installation instructions.

That is still the same way to get a website as it has always been for Cumulus. So that would have been done for your v3 website as well.
from the WiKi:

Webfiles folder

The webfiles (all lowercase) folder in both the legacy Cumulus and MX contains sub-folders and files that need to be uploaded to your web server in a on-off operation, if (and only if) you want to use the standard web pages provided as examples with Cumulus.

If your web server is provided by an organisation, then you will need to use a FTP, SFTP, or FTPS

If your web server is only going to be used for web pages related to Cumulus,

upload the contents of the /webfiles' folder to your root folder (do not create a "webfiles" sub-folder) on your web server.
Preserve the structure for any sub-folders, so files on your web server are in same position relative to root that they were relative to webfiles.
If your web server is to be used for other purposes, you might want to create a sub-folder (perhaps called weather) under your root folder for the contents of webfiles.

Your website http://goosebears.co.uk/V4weather/ including Charts seems to be updating fine.

Enjoy,
Paul

Edit: oops, missed the update a minute or so ago...
