Very impressed.

Like others I am very impressed with MX, and I was thinking of just letting it to continue to run in place of Cumulus 1 as it now seems to do (apart from a few web tags which I can get around) all I need.

But that begs a few questions.

I notice the licence is on until the end of January so will it cease to function after that date?

Have you made a decision if it is going to be donation ware (I try to donate every year as I think it is well worth the money and although my family think I am a weather geek I get great enjoyment out of it and the website etc.) or will it be a paid for version with paid for updates?

Attached is my latest MXdiags file, thankfully a lot smaller than the last one!!

I'll supply a further licence before then. It will actually stop working a few days before then because of something not related to the trial licence.

I'm wavering. I've had a lot of donations in the last couple of weeks, and given that administering the sale of licences was going to be a pain anyway (unless I signed up to some third party system) I'm now thinking I'll probably stick with the donations.

You have the same error that someone else had with a WU update concerning a proxy. Are you actually using a proxy or does the code just think you are?

[water01]

That would explain the email I just got from Weather Underground!!

I am not using a proxy service, the computer is running on my home LAN and has direct access to my router. It worked fine in Cumulus 1.

[steve]

Have a look the [Proxies] section in Cumulus.ini to see what you have in there for HTTPProxyName and also check the internet settings screen for the same.

[water01]

Code: Select all

[Proxies]
HTTPProxyName=
HTTPProxyPort=0
HTTPProxyUser=
HTTPProxyPassword=

This is what is in Cumulus.ini and that is reflected in the interface.

[steve]

Is it empty, though, or could there be one or more spaces in there? I should check for both, really.

[water01]

I looked at with an editor that will show unprintable characters and spaces etc. and there are no spaces, just what I assume is either a CR or LF immediately after the =, except for the zero in the Port.

[steve]

It looks like updating the internet settings corrupts it internally, but the change doesn't get saved to Cumulus.ini.

[water01]

So would a reload help?

[steve]

Yes, it seems to. It seems that the form code is clever and doesn't send things which were null and haven't been changed. This then does funny things to my code.

[water01]

Yes that fixed it, so data now being sent to WU and WOW.

Presumably if I do not alter the Internet settings all will be well?

On a similar note, when I had a tag in the tags template that caused a token error, MX would not process the template again until I had stopped and restarted it, even though I had modified the offending tag.

Steve just a reminder since I have just put 3011 live and noticed the trial date is still 31/01/2015 we are beginning to get close and you said you would have to do it a few days before.

Just worrying as I am now running MX as my live program, Cumulus 1 has not been run for nearly 2 weeks!!

[steve]

The other issue that was going to cause it to expire before the end of the month no longer exists, so there's still plenty of time.
