Realtime trouble?

Post by LacamasLakeWX »

Hello,

I am a new member enjoying Cumulus and how it is working with my new Davis Wireless Vantage Pro2.

I must admit I am a newbie when it comes to creating and maintaining a website. I am sure I made a basic mistake along the way and would love someone's help.

I am struggling with realtime updating for my website: http://home.comcast.net/~lacamaslakewx/

Let me say that Cumulus is working great updating my Weather Underground page in both standard and Rapid Fire.

Cumulus is also working perfectly updating my website at 5 minute intervals. However I cannot seem to get it to update in realtime fashion. The wind gauges are stuck on zero and north. It is likely a stupid mistake on my part or, perhaps, Comcast does not support realtime updating?


The first shows my Cumulus Internet Configuration: (please note I have tried it with Realtime FTP and Realtime.txt FTP toggled on and off ... no luck)

The problem is with your ftp directory setting; you've supplied an http URL, and it needs to be something that an ftp server understands. The fact that your normal ftp uploads are working means that almost certainly what you need to do is leave the ftp directory blank.
