Continuation after update issues [Resolved]

Hey folks,

So this thread is for the most part resolved: Desperate for HELP!! [RESOLVED] - Brian did find a bug which was preventing files from being uploaded.

I have confirmed files are being properly uploaded. I can (forget if its clientraw or testtags - i mix them up) is getting uploaded every 10 seconds.

On my main page where it shows the date. However it no longer shows the time but instead shows station name (midtown/buckhead). The counter to the right never resets when it gets to 10. However, if you look at my page, the word “updated” changes briefly to GREEN in color which corresponds to the 10 seconds.

I spent alot of time with @norcaldan this morning - he remote connected to my mac. Of course the windows vs. Mac screens are different.

We could not figure out why the timestamp is showing and why the counter isn’t resetting after it gets to 10.

My status pages are all green. The only way to get the middle two green was to change the custom internet file@29 special custom file conversion" to 5 mins. We also shut off clientraw all together, no impact of it being on or off.

My daily Noaa reports did not update either. However, I manually messed with them earlier in the week so maybe that interfered. I will see how that goes overnight

Can anyone help understand or guide me on where to look/how to fix these or if they are normal?

Norcaldan sent this link but it resolved the timestamp and counter issue:

http://discourse.weather-watch.com/p/478969

My station name was Atlanta-Midtown/Buckhead - the"-" was causing the issue.

I changed to Atlanta_Midtown_Buckhead and now it works fine

Will wait over night to see if the Noaa reports go through

THANK YOU

I think i’m down to just a few minor issues;

  1. dailynooareport: http://deputydawgwx.com/wxtempdetail.php - still not updating. I have confirmed the file is being created and uploaded to web files directory about 00:10 but webpage not populating

  2. local radar not working at all - http://deputydawgwx.com/wxradar.php

  3. Hourly graphical forecast not working - http://deputydawgwx.com/wxgraphicalfc.php

Any and all help greatly appreciated

Hi local radar you need to edit your flyout-menu.xml file so it points to http://deputydawgwx.com/wxnwsradar.php .
See http://deputydawgwx.com/check-fetch-times.php?show=versions says that the WU files are deprecated.
I think Ken has went with NWS for the local radar.

Perfect… quick fix. could be the same for the forecast issue, ill take a look

I know y’all are sick of hearing from me. I am actively trying to sort this out. I REALLY am trying!!!

I called my hosting site and looked at their FTP logs. There are no errors on their site or nothing preventing files from coming in. The dailynooareport.htm has NOT been uploaded since Nov 26th at 00:11 - it was later that day I upgraded WD from the old version to the App Store version.

From Hosting site FTP logs:
Sat Nov 26 00:11:12 2022 0 92.119.18.123 3557 /home2/paul/public_html/dailynoaareport.htmtemp b _ i r paul ftp 1 * c

From WD FTP log (local files):
Local files: /Users/Paul/Library/Containers/com.weather-display.weatherdisplayapp/Data/Documents/wdisplay/webfiles/climatedataout.html
Local files: /Users/Paul/Library/Containers/com.weather-display.weatherdisplayapp/Data/Documents/wdisplay/webfiles/dailynoaareport.htm

From WD FTP log. (remote files):
Remote files: climatedataout.html
Remote files: dailyreport.htm

This would explain why I’m not seeing dailynoaareport.htm or climatedateout.html

I can manually generate these. But why is the mapping of the local to remote files out of sync?

I have been pulling my hair out on this one. If anyone can help I would be in your debt.

Thanks

Brian just posted an excellent suggestion which I doubt I can get to till tomorrow

if there is a duplicate file name then that will cause a problem with the file names
i.e they get out of sync, as a duplicate name is dropped from the list
this has probably happened after copying the settings files from the old folder to the new folder
try deleting all the ini files
other than WDISPLAY.INI
and
wdisplayftp.ini
in the sandboxed new location

and then in the wdisplayftp.ini
delete all the
[Files]
and
[Remote Files]
and av extreme ones too
( when WD is not running)
to purge out left over wrong files and settings and to let files and settings and lists get recreated by WD as vanilla

Maybe its me, but I DO NOT see a section in the widsplayftp.ini file for “[Files]” or “[Remote]”

Can’t help you there, I don’t see a wdisplayftp.ini file at all in Windows :?

We have wdisplayftp.reg - Mac must be very different. . .

Thanks anyways Bit, appreciate the effort. Dang this is driving me NUTS LOL

Hi can you copy the wdisplayftp.ini from the old location (/Users/Paul/Documents/wdisplay) and paste it into the new location
(/Users/Paul/Library/Containers/com.weather-display.weatherdisplayapp/Data/Documents/wdisplay/)

Brian pushed out another update he believe will fix this

FINGERS CROSSED to see how the overnight uploads go

Hello all,

I’m very happy to say that all the mentioned issues are RESOLVED.

Turns out there were some issues moving WD from the old version to the new App Store version - all of which Brian fixed !!!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone here for all your input, help, advise suggestions etc - and mostly for putting up with me !!

There are a few very minor issues but the big issues are resolved

Thanks to Brian of course for all his help and for quickly getting out a fix !!

Website is looking much better and all status are GREEN: http://deputydawgwx.com/wxstatus.php

Site looks great. I did notice your jpgraphs are having problems. I had this same issue when I just changed web hosting providers. Rather than updating jpgraphs I went in to the webhost console and changed the php version to 7.3 I think and they all came back. I’m sure there are reasons to stay current on php for security but I’m lazy.

Thanks @Bonz, yeah that is one of the minor issues left. I know about that one, but initially assumed my hosting site had to do the update. Can you PM me with any steps or documentation on how to do that? Thanks
