Missing web files in Raspberry Pi Image

[Mike_Rawlins]

Morning,

A long time since I've been here I'm just setting my weather station up again after it being off line for quite a while.

I've downloaded and installed the latest Raspberry Pi image using Raspberry Pi imager. I can see and set the station up from the web interface, but....

When I started to work on the web files and third-party settings, I couldn't, so I checked the card. The web and webfiles folders were missing, so I downloaded the Windows zip, extracted it, and copied the two folders over to the card, but I still can't see them or edit them from the web interface, for example the Bluesky.txt template is greyed out, so I can't edit it.

Am I missing something? It has been a while since I played with Cumulus.

Edit
I've tested both versions of the Pi image onto a brand new card, and neither of them add any folders other than Overlays

Cheers

Just looking at the images it seem to be that all the web folders are there ?

So are u looking in the opt directory?

I've just made a images from here and run that on a spare pi copied my cumulus ini files over and it seem to work fine with that image u have tried?

Thanks,

So if I compile this > rpi-CumulusMX-lite-4.3.3_X64 zip using the Raspberry Pi Imager using the custom build option. This is what I see in the root of E:

Yes that's right so now boot the pi .... as the setting you say are not changing I've tried them and it's working

Sadly not working as expected.

New image created as per my previous post.

Followed the instructions here for setting the locale etc.

The station is updating, which can be verified by looking at cumulusmx:8998

But using Bluesky as an example, the bluesky.txt is still greyed out. Taking the card out of the Pi and looking at it in file explorer, this is what we see.

So I am not sure what is going on.

No you cannot copy a files like that

To copy files and folders you need to mount the raspberry pi with samba so u can access the home directory
try this

Taking the card out of the Pi and looking at it in file explorer, this is what we see.

If you look at the SD card in Windows explorer all you will see is the boot partition, Cumulus along with the rest of the operating system is in a data partition unreadable by Windows (without some help!). You need to look at the files on the Raspberry Pi whist it is running. Use something like WinSCP on Windows to to connect to the pi and view the files, and copy either way between Windows and the pi.

Thanks Both,

It seems a lot has changed with Cumulus since my last install.
