New Hardware - no Dashboard but updates working??

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.

New Hardware - no Dashboard but updates working??

Post by Sadgit »

Hello

I have moved my copy of CumulusMX to a new Intel Nuc with Mint on from a RPi3 as I am trying to consolidate my hardware. It is all working perfectly and my external website is being update with realtime data, in fact all data is being FTP'd over fine. It is current data but the dashboard and data from localhost:8998 isn't being updated. Username is different and I modified that in the ini, but cannot see what else I would need to do?

Last Cumulus update
--:--:--
Last station update
--:--:--

it is blank. How is this possible as Cumulus is obviously connected to my station as it is providing correct updates via ftp. When I start Cumulus it finds the station

Code: Select all

Cumulus MX v.3.0.0 build 3043
Today.ini = data/today.ini
Last update=2018-01-15T17:15:00
Connected to station
17:36:27 Downloading Archive Data
Cumulus running at: http://*:8998/
(Replace * with any IP address on this machine, or localhost)
Starting web socket server on port 8002
15/01/2018 17:36:27
Type Ctrl-C to terminate
17:36:28 Downloading Archive Data
17:36:28 Normal running
I cannot work out why this would happen. Anyone have any pointers please? it connects via /dev/ttyUSB0

Cheers
Mark

If the dashboard, now, and gauges pages aren’t working but everything else is, then you have an issue with the websockets protocol, as mentioned in the MX FAQ post. You can switch those pages to ‘ajax’ if required.

ah brilliant thanks Steve. I bet you get sick of saying "check the FAQ"!!

OK that worked for the gauges but not the other 2. At least I know what I am looking at now. Thanks.
