Cumulus stopped uploading to twitter 3 days ago

Post by JacquesSteventon »

Hello all,

First of all what I lovely day it is in the south of England (which makes a change).

I am having a bit of a problem and I have tried everything. I changed my passwords over on twitter the other day and then also changed the cumulus twitter passwords. They both match, I have tried this many many times. I have also deleted the OauthToken=
OauthTokenSecret=

I have tried disabling and enabling twitter and still no success. The Oauth tokens will not replace the empty sections parts of text. I have also tried the command :unknown on both of the lines which still hasn't worked.

I am guessing that this is down to twitter being a night mare again after they changed they stopped Apt.

Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be or a solution?

Many thanks for any help in advance,

Jacques

I've just tried this:

Stop Cumulus and edit cumulus.ini, delete the OAuthToken and OAuthTokenSecret lines. Start Cumulus.

On the next scheduled update, it successfully fetched the new tokens, but the update at that time failed ("403 forbidden"). The subsequent update was successful.

If you do the same and still don't get anywhere, try turning on the debug log. This causes extra information to be logged to the diags file (cumulus.009). Be careful with uploading anything here subsequently, as password info etc will be logged.

Make sure your PC clock is correct and set for BST.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply. Have just done what you said. Will now wait for next update as I upload on the hour. If this fails would you like me to post the debug log but without passwords on here to help solve the problem? But hopefully this will work.


Thanks very much

Jacques
