web update

[fastbysuzuki]

Hi
would i be right/wrong in assuming that if i force a web update via cumulus and the date/ time changes in the "conditions at local times" on the web page. This would mean if there was a station attached it would update all the data? I am asking as i am preparing for the arrival of a Davis Vue.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. A 'manual' web update is just the same as an 'automatic' update; all of the web tags are processed and replaced by current values.

Hi Steve
sorry about the confusion, as yet we have no weather station and i have been playing with cumulus to prepare for when we get a station, my question is by forcing a web update and the conditions at local time changes on the web to match the last forced update time, does that indicate that if a station was connected all the data would be updated? i ask because i am getting an ftp error but the time changes on a forced update.

If the pages are being uploaded with updated times, then the data would also be updated. But if you're getting a lot of ftp errors, that's probably an indication that something isn't right somewhere. Turn on ftp logging then do an update and attach the ftplog.txt file here.

Hi Steve
please find attached the ftplog, i have been trying cumlus but with the weatherblues template, i understand if you do not want to support the use of the template, but as we are a charity and we count solely on donations from the public the blues was just more eye candy to attract interest to the site.

It doesn't matter what templates you're using for your web site, it doesn't affect the way Cumulus works.

It looks like you have the ftp paths incorrectly configured:

14:45:54:870 Uploading C:\Cumulus\web\system.htmtmp to public.html/weather

public.html/weather looks like a directory to me, rather than a file. For 'extra files' you have to give a full path including the file name, not just a directory. And:

14:45:55:884 Changing directory to home/public.html
14:45:55:884 FTP Command: CWD home/public.html

14:45:56:008 >|550 Can't change directory to home/public.html: No such file or directory|

The ftp directory you've configured - home/public.html - doesn't exist.
