For a file that needs processing, it needs to be left on permanently, because the file has to be processed every time prior to uploading.

I see that there's been an update to Delphi in the last few days; one of the bug fixes may make your problem disappear.

daj wrote:Ok, so I can confirm from your INI file that Cumulus is only processing the webtags file once. In fact you only process two custom files above and beyond the standard ones.

The webtags file you posted here was one already processed. I assume the unprocessed one is full of webtags?

Line 106 should look something like....

$wdirdata = "<#wdirdata>";
I only have one cumuluswebtags.txt file and line 106 was pasted in an earlier message. It didn't look like your example. Should I edit it so it does?

I also have a cumuluswebtags.txttmp file which is 0kb and last updated at 15:35 today.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

Sounds logical, thanks. But line 106 contains an enormous amoun of data. David has suggested it should be different. Hopefully we can clear this up soon. Cumulus has been stable today.

Ok, in that case you have a problem with the webtags file.

I suggest you re-down load the one for the wiki and replace yours .... http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Php_webtags

Just some background....If you ask Cumuls to Process a file it will open the file at the location you specify (C:\Program Files\Cumulus\web\cumuluswebtags.txt), look for webtags and replace with live data, saving a "tmp" copy of the file with all the data. Then upload this tmp file to the web as your prefered file name (in your case cumuluswebtags.php)

Some how your C:\Program Files\Cumulus\web\cumuluswebtags.txt has no webtags!

Hi David,

Thanks for your help and the lesson. God knows how I ended up with a webtags file that contained no webtags!! :roll:

I've renamed the current file and pasted the contents from that link into a new cumuluswebtags.txt file. So far so good.

Regarding the numerous entries of An error has occurred during the Wunderground update I noticed WeatherLink (which I also run via VPP) had the WU module enabled but wasn't actually uploading any data. I'll keep an eye on the log to see if those messages reduce.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.
