Realtime not working

[broadstairs]

I have just downloaded the latest and setup a test web page but I am not getting a realtime.txt file uploaded despite ticking the box and setting a 20 second interval. Any ideas as to what I've done wrong?

Probably nothing - its probably just not working

There should be a permanent ftp connection - can you do a netstat or whatever and see if it's there? I assume the 'normal' ftp is working OK?

Is the realtime.txt file being generated on your PC?

It's a bit tricky to diagnose as I don't yet have much in the way of diagnostics for the realtime ftp. I'll have to build you a version with some logging turned on. I really should get around to making it switch on and offable.

No there is no file being created locally....

The normal web update is happening just fine....

Very odd. Have you tried stopping Cumulus and starting it again? If that doesn't work, could you turn on the debug log, run for 5 minutes then send me the debug.log file, please?

Stopping and starting Cumulus has got it working now.... thanks Steve.

As an aside should I see a window open when it downloads the data from the logger, or does that happen under the covers?

PS. you can see the page here

It looks like that's a bug. It doesn't appear to start the timer until the restart.

You should see a message at the left hand end of the status bar (with a %age indicator for VP/VP2) - but note that this only happens at start-up, the rest of the time it doesn't need to download the logger data.
