web hosting on local server

[guzzuk]

hi all

just got the usb weather station from maplin and am trying to get the data online
i've got a server running 24/7 at home that hosts my email and webcam and want to get the weather data on it
how do i get cumulus to store the data locally instead of over ftp?

thanks
andy

If you tick 'auto update' and supply an interval, it will generate the files (in the web folder) but not attempt to ftp them. You would then need to devise some method for copying them to where you wanted them.

thats works, is there anyway to get it to save the web data anywhere else?

cant work out why its doesnt work over ftp to my local server thou (on the same drive)
thanks

I'm afraid not. I could allow a location to be specified, it would just be a bit tedious and time-consuming changing all the code to use that instead of the application directory.

got it working by using ip to the local pc thou realtime only writes to the program files directory and not to the website?

any thoughts?

thanks

[steve]

You mean it's generating the realtime.txt file but the ftp isn't working? Have you put a trailing slash on the directory? That might cause it to fail, because you end up with a filename with two slashes in it. I'm stripping trailing slashes in the latest builds.

If you can't work out why it's not working, turn on the ftp logging.

No trailing slashes. It writes normal web pages to FTP thou not the realtime.txt file? I'll try the logging
Thanks

realtime.txt its not uploaded to FTP, you must add it manually in Files tab.

realtime.txt its not uploaded to FTP, you must add it manually in Files tab.

No no no! It's uploaded automatically if you tick 'enable realtime'. If it's not being uploaded there's some sort of problem.

It looks like you have the directory wrong. Cumulus constructs the file name from <directory> + '/' + realtime.txttmp (because you're using rename), and then does a 'put' from the point where you log in. So 'weather/realtime.txttmp' must be the wrong path for your ftp server. Realtime.txt upload works fine for me (and lots of others). If you log in with command line ftp, what directories do you have to go through to get to your 'weather' directory?

it manages to create all the other files ok?

[steve]

08:51:47:624 >|550 realtime.txt: Cannot create file.|

That appears to be attempting to upload the realtime.txt file straight into the directory that you start off in when you log in with ftp. Is that correct?

It's hard for me to diagnose problems like this when everybody's hosting is different. I am reasonably confident that the code in Cumulus is correct, most people have no problems.
