Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
Well I seem to have "fixed" most of the errors in MXdiags, but still not getting my nowT.htm and realtime-xT.txt to publish to htdocs. I've attached the latest screenshots in case someone can figure out what I'm doing wrong?
To recap, nowT.htm is a file that generates a web page using webtags and an embedded radar view. realtime-xT.txt is a file that used webtags to parse 4 wx elements to be displayed on a small LCD panel.

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
No errors on the newest logfile about copying the extra files? Since the destination path contains a space, you could try to enclose it in double quotes (example below).
”C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache\Apache2.2\htdocs\nowT.htm”
”C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache\Apache2.2\htdocs\nowT.htm”

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
Now this is interesting.................after adding quotations as shown in your example, this is what my Extra Web File page displays. Restarting CMX did not help.

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
Interesting indeed. Looks like a some kind of bug in the web interface. Have you looked inside Cumulus.ini since it contains also the extra files settings? Also what does the mxdiags log say now?

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
MXdiag now looks normal. No errors, just normal stuff like writing new wind run records (it's very windy here today) and other normal weather data recording. But I am surprised there isn't any errors displayed trying to write my extra web files to htdocs. All the json files and now the NOAA files are being written to htdocs/Reports along with the Moon image.
I am not opposed if someone wants to remote desktop and see what is going on.
I did find my extra files in cumulus.ini
After removing the quotation marks and restarting CMX, my Extra Web Files menu is back
MaxConcurrentUploads=4
ExtraLocal0=C:\CumulusMXDist3245\CumulusMX\web\nowT.htm

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
You may have found one more bug regarding the local file copy. I know there is at least one open unfixed bug related to local file copy, but there might be more since the file handling has changed significantly beginning from version 3.24.0. Unfortunately Mark is currently on summer vacation, so we don’t have means to debug this a lot further.
If I was you, next I would try if the files are created properly when you set a destination folder outside program files, eg. C:\Temp or something similar (create a test forder if necessary).
Of course you could also work around this by setting up ftp/sftp/php uploads to localhost.

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
Hi,
I've been reading but generally beyond my knowledge. However can this from the Internet settings > Advanced Serttings enter into the picture. I know Randy is not using PHP but if I understand correctly Apache is some form of a webserver:
Also, the two files not copying are at realtime interval. In an earlier attached image that showed all the files uploaded to your \Apache2.2\htdocs the realtime.txt and realtimegauges.txt which I presume are intended at realtime show an earlier time compared to the other uploaded files. Are realtime.txt and realtimegauges.txt being updated at your set interval?
Just ignore if I am totally off base
Enjoy,
Paul

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
I tried various destination paths/filenames without success. But during this time, MXdiag didn't display any write/publish errors which I find unusual.
I've done a little searching on ftp and php to my local Apache server, but the results are over my head.
This transition from 3.0 to 3.25.2 has certainly been an uphill struggle, but I appreciate all your input!

Many years ago when I started with version 3.0.0, I created a .htm file that display desired weather parameters on a wall monitor with local radar. But now after upgrading to 3.25.2 those files won't publish to Apache. All other functions of CMX appear to work fine.
Thanks for your input.

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
Hi,
The question I tried to make is if it is only files with realtime interval that are failing as I had noticed from that previous image both realtime.txt and realtimegauges.txt were not at realtime, and wondered if uploading your two custom files at normal interval would work.
Enjoy,
Paul

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
Paul, The previous image you saw must have been captured in error. The 2 text files generated by CMX, realtime and realtimegauges are being published correctly. The file I generated realtime-xT.txt is confusing this issue because of it's name. But the other file I generated, nowT.htm never appears regardless of it's interval. This was all so easy when I did it the first time, but it's uphill now.

Re: Help w/Web Page After Upgrade
Hi,
Just a thought. Try removing the ticks in the Upload column. I believe that will be trying to upload the files to whatever is stated in your Internet Settings > Web/Upload > Enable Upload Connections. As you are only trying to do a local copy, the template files only need to be processed at the realtime interval and that should automatically put the processed file in the specified destination.
Regards,
Trevor

That was it!! My two files are now being published to the Apache htdocs. The only downside is the content of the files is not current but is a few days old and is not being refreshed. I've changed so many parameters over the last several days I have no idea what my settings were during that time.
The date/timestamp for the two files on htdocs is keeping current so CMX is now pushing the files to Apache. But the files in /web have several days old date/timestamps.
I'm a little hazy but I thought the file /web/nowT.htmtmp is the template where fresh data was written? It has a fresh "date modified" timestamp but the data within is old.
