Cumulus Support

Hello, I can't remember how to change Sandy URL to my URL to show my current weather. I went into my .xml file and changed it there but it still showes Sandy weather. There must be somewhere else to change something too . Please help.

http://www.dewellsweatherstation.net ( in weather information page ).

The xml file is where you change it, yes. But yours still has my details in it: http://www.dewellsweatherstation.net/we ... altime.xml

You need to change the sitename and the realtime URL.

Thanks for your reply, but, I have changed the .xml file numerous times in different file editors, saved them as .xml files and uploaded them to my server ( I use Filezilla to upload the files to my server ) and the server .xml files in the root directory shows the change but when I click on rhe link it still shows Sandy weather. What am I doing wrong. Thanks again ttexsun

It looks like you've uploaded it to the correct place now, and it's working?

Hello Steve, Yes I finally got it up and running last night but it displayes the wrong data, and does not change. I could not find anywhere to correct this . Thanks again ttexsun

You've put http://www.dewellsweatherstation.net/realtime.txt for the location of your realtime.txt file, but that's an old one. Your file appears to be here: http://www.dewellsweatherstation.net/we ... altime.txt but that one hasn't updated since yesterday.

If you have realtime upload configured but it's not uploading, you need to turn on ftp logging and look at the realtimeftplog.txt file.

Thanks Steve, I have that part right but the rain total for the year on cumulus is showing more than what is on my weather station . My weather station is showing 1.92 and cumulus is showing 2.68. What happened was I reloaded cumlus and it did not load the correct yearly rain fall correctly. . The forecast is also staying the same. But everything else seems to be correct. Thanks again ttexsun

The yearly rainfall is calculated when Cumulus starts up, from the daily totals in dayfile.txt. You can look at (and edit) the totals in the dayfile.txt editor in Cumulus. Rainfall figures aren't usually a problem with Davis stations, so something strange must have happened.

I hadn't realised you had only started using Cumulus a couple of days ago. Looking at your web site, you currently have a monthly total of 0.78 and an annual total of 2.70, so I think you must have entered a year-to-date figure, and that figure is too high (it didn't allow for rain which Cumulus has recorded itself). You need to adjust that figure to make the total correct. You probably need to restart Cumulus after changing the YTD figure.

Thanks Steve, I'll try and see if I can Edit the file and make it read right or mabe just reload Cumulus again. ttexsun
