Wrong port

[Adrian Hudson]

Hi Steve,

I copied the files into my cumulus folder (after taking a copy of course!!). On running and starting the web interface nothing was happening - no data from station showing.

Seems to be trying to use COM1 athough my Cumulus.ini file is configured (correctly as COM3):

[Station]
Type=1
Model=Davis Vantage Pro 2
Port=3

Com port is showing as 3 in the web interface settings. I tried changing it to another port and then back to 3 but the .ini file was not updated.

Thanks - the first part is an easy fix. Can you clarify the part about changing the setting - are you saying that the Cumulus.ini file doesn't get updated if you change the serial port number and save it via the web interface?

[Adrian Hudson]

are you saying that the Cumulus.ini file doesn't get updated if you change the serial port number and save it via the web interface?

Exactly

Edit: I just tried it from a different browser (I notmally use chrome so tried IE) with the same result: ini file was not updated. Tried changing a number of other parameters - same result.

[steve]

That's odd. If I change my serial port from 1 to 3 using the interface, after I click 'Save' and get the confirmation back it changes the Port=1 line to Port=3, and then I can change it back again.

Do you get the confirmation popup after you save the settings?

[Adrian Hudson]

Do you get the confirmation popup after you save the settings?

Err, no. I didn't know there WAS a confirmation popup! lol

Edit: sorry, did I say "lol" how embarrassing!

[steve]

Ah, right, so the problem is that your settings update is failing altogether. It should look like this:

I had thought that some kind of failure message would be shown if it failed.

[steve]

If you use the 'network' tab in the Chrome developer console you will be able to see the response from the 'updatestationconfig.json' call. There may also be something logged in the MXdiags file.

[Adrian Hudson]

The only thing that comes up in the chrome console is:

http://blah:8998/lib/bootstrap/css/boot ... me.css.map 404 not found

...which does indeed not seem to be in that folder. Anything to do with it?

[steve]

No, that's not important. After that, when you click on the Save button, you should see a call to updatestationconfig.json, like this:

2015-01-04 17_53_40-Cumulus MX.png

If you don't get that, I have no idea what's wrong. Some kind of javascript problem.

[steve]

Adrian, I've updated the download with a new build, hopefully you can use COM3 now (you may have to edit Cumulus.ini if the web interface won't change the settings for you).

[Adrian Hudson]

Thanks Steve. Will try the new version.

On the updating of the ini file issue: I installed a fresh copy on a laptop and ran the browser locally. The ini updated fine so the issue is something to do with my weather pc it seems.

Will report back.

[Adrian Hudson]

New version is running fine and downloading data from VP2.

Still not updating the ini file but I will work on that

[steve]

OK - thanks.

[Adrian Hudson]

I can't figure out what is wrong with the update button on the station settings page. The save button on the Internet settings page seems to work.

Other things I have found so far:

1. Although the ini says 10 minue logging, it is logging at 5 minute intervals
2. The Now page shows all dashes
3. The Today/Yesterday page also shows dashes
4. The Records page shows but there is no data in it
(I don't have any extra sensors so no idea if that is working or not)
5. The Load button on the Data Log Viewer doesn't work (probably the same problem as the setting page)

All other pages work and look good.

It uploads all files normally and my website is working fine - so far - I am VERY IMPRESSED by that!!.

Wunderground, CWOP and WOW do not seem to be uploading (not sure about other services will report more as I find out)

Did I read you no longer create the graphs on the server? Will have to trash that page on the website I guess. (one to add to the FAQs)

Adrian, does your site use php web tags i.e. cumuluswebtags.php
