Another Newbie

G'day Steve and team. Great software, love your work. Long time lurker, first time poster. By reading the help files, forum topics and the Wiki, I was finally able set up my FO WH1091. After adjustments, calibrations and moving sensors etc it seems to be running and recording data smoothly. I thought I had a pretty good handle on most issues until I decided to get adventurous and venture into the WWW and have set up a presence on the web. I was able to create a simple web page using the templates and advice from contributors on here and from the Wiki.... but I just cant get the pages to update (5min interval). I have tried most things suggested but after 3 frustrating hours in the forum (its huge) and re-installing Cumulus twice, I come cap in hand to your door. All pages and files appear to upload okay when I force an upload. But I'm stuck in a time warp at 20:29 on 31 March 2010.

I'm using:

Cumulus v 1.8.9 build 295 on Windows Vista SP2. The FTP program is Filezilla
My website is here: http://users.tpg.com.au/captzer0/

My ftplog is attached along with Cumulus internet settings and filezilla screen dumps.

Its probably very obvious mistake I have made but I am limited in my knowledge of all things technical. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Dan

You've put a web URL for your ftp directory:

20:43:53:562 >|550 Can't change directory to http://users.tpg.com.au/captzer0: No such file or directory|

However, from your screen shots it looks like you're uploading to the root anyway (from the POV of where you log in), so that doesn't really matter. You probably need to make that field blank.

You have set both "use FTP rename" and "delete before upload". This isn't useful, as the point of 'rename' is to avoid slight gaps where the file doesn't fully exist while you're uploading a new one. If you're deleting the old one first, this defeats the purpose. Your ftp server doesn't seem to like renaming to an existing file, so I guess this is why you've set "delete before upload"?

20:48:32:812 >|550 RENAME Failed - destination file already exists|

I suggest you unset both of those options to begin with. If your ftp server doesn't like uploading a file that already exists, then try setting only "delete before upload". If that still doesn't help, please attach a new ftp log.

Thanks Steve. I disabled both "use FTP rename" and "delete before upload" and it has uploaded fine. I appreciate the help. Donation is on its way. Thanks again.
