A few updates ago, all of a sudden my clientrawdaily.txt files are not being updated. The other three clientraw files (clientraw.txt, clientrawextra.txt, and clientrawhour.txt) are updating OK. When first starting WD, a correct clientrawdaily.txt file is generated, but it does not generate thereafter until stopping and restarting WD. In other words, if I leave WD running for a week, the clientrawdaily file will be a week old and the other clientraw files will be up to date. If I then stop and restart WD, the correct (updated) clientrawdaily file will be written once and then not be updated until the next time I stop and restart WD.
Searching through the forum, I see that this has been a problem for others but I couldn’t find any resolution. Like I said, it HAD been working just fine until a few updates ago (I don’t know exactly which). As far I as know, I have changed no settings that might cause this. Besides, I don’t think there is a setting that could stop the generation of just the clientrawdaily file, is there?
Same in 102011lg.txt file…line written for minute 11 at each hour.
Something else I just noticed also. I have WD set up to also write all four clientraw files to another location via FTP. (So I have them written locally and to an external FTP site.) I just noticed that only the clientraw.txt, clientrawextra.txt, and clientrawhour.txt files are being sent via FTP. The clientrawdaily.txt file is not being sent. I discovered this because I deleted the clientrawdaily.txt file on the remote location, and even though there is a clientrawdaily.txt file locally on the computer running WD, it never gets copied over to the FTP site. The other three clientraw files are getting copied over normally every 30 seconds. [Or maybe I don’t understand how this is supposed to work. WD probably sends to the FTP site and writes locally simultaneously (?) and doesn’t actually copy from local to FTP?]
I’ve attached a screenshot of how I have it set up in WD.
its strange you have this problem
as there are no other reports of this problem
and the only change to the clientrawdaily.txt was adding some rain average data to the end
.zip and email me your settings files and I will test here
works OK here with your settings
(I set the clock to 09:10 and the file was updated OK)
but I notice you have WD installed to c:\program files
not a good idea , could be a permissions problem
I would instead install to the default location of c:\wdisplay
ps, none of those links you have posted relate to the particular problem you are having
I’ve had it installed in that directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Weather Display) for 5+ years and it’s worked flawlessly up until a few builds ago. Didn’t change a thing with the OS or anything else I know of on the computer. And besides, if it were a file permissions problem, why would the other three clientraw files be updated OK and only the clientrawdaily file have the problem? Isn’t it written to disk the same way?
