NOAA stopped working after a rebuild.

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

NOAA stopped working after a rebuild.

Post by Sadgit »

Hello

I did a rebuild cannot remember when, but I have just noticed that the NOAA data isn't working for the whole of July..
The NOAAMO0717.txt contains

Probably an error in your data file(s). Any error messages in the diags file?

ah there is actually loads of corruption in the dayfile. Thankfully found a backup from June to get the uncorrupt lines from it as there are about 15. Thanks as always Steve
