NOAA Setup FTP Directory

[Yed]

Hi:
I'm still fairly new at this; I'm trying to setup NOAA in the configuration section in Cumulus. I don't know were to go to get the necessary information for my area for the correct path. I believe goes into the FTP Directory.

I put my name and address in the site location.

Thanks, and Happy NewYear!
Jerry

You need to put in a path that is valid for your ftp server which corresponds to a path to the folder where you want Cumulus to upload the NOAA reports.

Thanks Steve, I understand now.

Hello to all
My NOAA txt, was auto upload till 30 of August. And then stop. I Update manualy the last day and then i saw that update for the first day of September. An then stop again. Do you imagine what for stops to update? I didnt change anything at all. I use the default name for month and year txt and in sub dir /Reports there are all previous months.

If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I'll see if I can spot anything.

Just after midnight, you got a 'data stopped' error and Cumulus restarted, so it didn't get as far as uploading the reports:

The files don't go back far enough to see if the same thing happened on previous nights.

Steve this huppens and 2nd and 3d day of September. I dont why Data input appears to have stopped all days. I ll update it manualy and i ll see if something change tonight.
Thanks a lot

There's a long gap here, creating the annual report:

4/9/2012 00:00:03.031 : Creating NOAA yearly report for year 2012
4/9/2012 00:00:54.359 : Saving yearly report as D:\cumulus\Cumulus\Reports\NOAAYR2012.txt

It shouldn't take that long to create the report. Does your PC clock get set just after midnight, perhaps?

[vaggos]

In the sub D:\cumulus\Cumulus\Reports\ i have the true NOAAYR2012.txt
Also i have the NOAAMO0912.txt with all days. But the dont update auto as before 29 of august. The clock looks good

[steve]

The clock looks good

But have you got Windows set to update the clock at midnight? Something happened to cause Cumulus to apparently take 50 seconds to create the report. So either something is stopping Cumulus running for 50 seconds just after midnight, or the clock is being changed.

[vaggos]

It was cheked the synchronization from internet. But it was so and before, I unchek it although it didnt set to update the clock at midnight. A few more hours and i ll see.
Thanks again a lot Steve.

Good morning to everyone
Today tha page http://axarnes.meteoclub.gr/Reports/NOAAMO0912.txt was blank. Yesterday i did manual update. Also i see in diags a lot of errors. For example:

4/9/2012 21:11:20.015 : FTPRequestDone ftpQuitAsync Errcode = 500
4/9/2012 21:14:36.171 : Error processing D:\cumulus\Cumulus\web\gaugesb\realtimegaugesT.txttmp Error: I/O error 32

4/9/2012 21:16:15.437 : FTP Error: 426 Timeout
4/9/2012 21:16:15.437 : FTPRequestDone ftpPutAsync Errcode = 426
4/9/2012 21:18:36.359 : FTP connect timeout, aborting...
4/9/2012 21:18:36.390 : FTPRequestDone ftpConnectAsync Errcode = 10004
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Problems with the ftp server, or your connection to it. If you turn on ftp logging, the ftplog.txt file might give more information. But it looks like you're getting a lot of ftp timeouts.

[vaggos]

I turn on ftp login. I dont think tha my connection has problem because i look all day my weather cam live and i didn't see any interruption. I didnt see also some interruption in my page. Logs will speak propably. Also in status i dont see any error.
Thanks Steve.

EDIT. I add ftplog.txt
