Cumulus Support

When I try to get the weather directory to display on web
I get this

Your URL is invalid:

http://www.stewpott.com/weather/

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed
.

Anyone got any ideas
'cos I think I did it right making directory etc
but I can't get in to the weather directory on web

Your files aren't being upload to that location. Possibly you supplied the wrong path in the Cumulus setup - if you just supplied 'weather', your server may require something on the front of that - htdocs/ or wwwroot/ or similar.

I think I got the address right 'cos the FTP web updater says

GREAT programme by the way
just me can't see how to do things right

That window can be a bit misleading as it doesn't show any errors. If you turn on ftp logging, a file called ftplog.txt will be created, and that will show a bit more of what's going on.

Ican see that the access is denied on the site but can't see why
hope the log helps you
'cos to me it means nothing

the CWOP/APRS works fine by the way
if that'll help

This part of the log file:

23:45:50:453 ! HighLevelAsync 0
23:45:50:453 ! HighLevelAsync done
23:45:50:454 01E389B0 TriggerDataSent 1672
23:45:50:490 >|550 weather: The system cannot find the file specified. |

Seems to indicate that the "weather" directory you've specified doesn't exist in your ftp server. Did you create it?

These errors for the rest of the files:

23:45:50:557 ! HighLevelAsync 0
23:45:50:569 01E389B0 TriggerDataSent 1672
23:45:50:602 >|550 index.htm: Access is denied. |

Seem to indicate you're trying to upload files to the default directory of your ftp server which it isn't allowing you to do. As steve suggested above, you may need to specify a wwwroot/ or htdocs/ folder or something in front of "weather".

Looks like the server is IIS? So possibly it's htdocs/weather that's needed. If you log in with an ftp client you should be able to determine the path to the weather directory.

I use Ipswitch for FTP
and it's perfectly possible the folder is in wrong place
with my experience of computers
I hope the attached file helps

If that's the view immediately after logging in, then assuming 'Website' is where the root of your web site is supposed to go, it looks like the path you need is Website/weather

Thanks very much steve

It can be quite tricky getting the path right, and I can't give detailed instructions as all hosting is different. I've been thinking that we should set up a knowledgebase so that people can look up their provider and see how others did it. And maybe in Cumulus 2 I can add an ftp browser - a sort of mini ftp-client. Although I've said in the past that I don't really want to do this, it would make the initial setup much easier.

BTW, it looks like you haven't set your barometer correctly (In your base station ?)

Do I need to restrict the image size in Kb for cumulus to pick up and post it

and how do I remove the extra "weather " text on" Sarah's Weatherwatch Weather "
on my weather page
Regards
Stewart

Thanks for that Beteljuice
I'm thinking the base unit is set to zero or sea level ??
I'm 124 mtrs above sea level
but in calibration I'm thinking i add ??

BUT ain't sure
and ain't got to that bit in mi book yet
so I don't understand it
so I won't mess with it yet

Which image(s) do you mean? Cumulus generates its own images (graphs etc) so you have no control over those.

on my weather page

The 'word' weather is hard-coded into the supplied templates. It was really my intention that where you have "Sarah's Weatherwatch", that would be your location and so "... weather" would follow on nicely. To get rid of it, you'll need to edit the template files (indexT.htm etc).
