realtime.txt stops

Post by wetterfrosch1971 »

Hi,

I´ve a problem with realtime.txt

Cumulus run at my weather-computer all time and transfer the weather-readings to my webspace.
That works without problems, only the realtime.txt make problems.

The problem is this:
About every 2 days, the realtime.txt stops on my webspace and so stop the realtime-gauges on my webspace too.

If I close cumulus and start new, then it works again for about 2 days.

Any idea what the Problem is?

many thanks for help.

Assuming that the realtime.txt file is still being updated on your PC (?) then it's some kind of ftp issue. If you already have a realtimeftplog.txt file, delete that, then turn on ftp logging. The file may give some clues as to what's happening, when the problem occurs again.. It would also be useful to show your ftp settings here.

I look after when the problem occurs the next time.
If you already have a realtimeftplog.txt file, delete that
I have this file.
ok, I delete it.
turn on ftp logging
it was turn OFF, I do it on.
It would also be useful to show your ftp settings here.
My web-Settings:

Auto Update: on
Use active FTP mode: on
Intervall: 5mins

Enable Realtime: on
Enable Realtime FTP: on
Realtime.txt FTP: on
Realtime Intervall: 48sec

Thank you for help
Frank

Did you turn this on because you know that you definitely need it? The default of passive mode (active mode off) is usually more reliable, if it works for your server (it does for most).

I don´t know.
I don´t know what are the right web settings, bacause my settings adjust by "try out".

Now I turn the FTP mode in passive mode.
Passive FTP mode works!

Can you tell me, which settings are the right or how I must adjust my settings?

many thanks

There are no 'right' settings, that's why they are provided as configurable options, so they can be changed to suit particular situations. I have tried to make it so that the default settings work on 99% of systems. The help has information on what each setting does, and has recommendations for what to use if your server supports it.
