Data not uploading.

Post by bruton »

Ive got CumulusMX running on a pi zero. All the data is updating on the pi.
Ive got the ftp working and uploaded files.
Ive uploaded /web and /webfiles

On the internet it is like there is no data being uploaded so the dials have never updated.

Ive read about uploading reatimegaugesT.txt as realtimegauges.txt and tried all permutations of the path but still does not upload the file.
Tried:
/home/pi/CumulusMX/web/realtimegaugesT.txt
home/pi/CumulusMX/web/realtimegaugesT.txt
/pi/CumulusMX/web/realtimegaugesT.txt
pi/CumulusMX/web/realtimegaugesT.txt
/CumulusMX/web/realtimegaugesT.txt
CumulusMX/web/realtimegaugesT.txt
/web/realtimegaugesT.txt
web/realtimegaugesT.txt
/realtimegaugesT.txt
realtimegaugesT.txt

If i upload it manually i get the error- parseerror:syntaxerror: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 72 column 17 of the JSON data

Ive read people having asame fault but not seen any resolution to this problem.

Anyone give me a pointer?

You don't need to manually configure realtimegauges.txt with the latest version of MX, just make sure you have all the realtime ftp options selected. A link to your web site would help diagnosis.

You don't need the contents of the Cumulus web folder on your server. If the instructions you followed tell you to upload it, please let me know where that is so it can be corrected.

Do you have the following set in the internet settings?
2017-03-20 18_06_54-Cumulus MX.png
And if so, have you tried restarting Cumulus?

The contents of the webfiles folder, as you have done.

Have you tried restarting Cumulus? Many settings require a restart. Having restarted Cumulus, is the realtimegauges.txt file actually present on your web server in the 'weather' directory? Some web servers (normally with free hosting) do not allow .txt files to be served.

Sorry for hijacking this thread but is there anything special required to get a Pi zero w to run Cumulus MX? I already have it running on a Pi 2 but want to swap it to Zero W.

Can I just pop the card from the Pi 2 into the Pi Zero?
Thanks
