Looking for testers for the new Mac version :)

Deputydewarg had this problem
the wdisplayftp.ini file was getting corrupted on WD start up
copying a back up of that after WD has started up I think was the solution…try that

@vk2him
I have done a test of a history data download at start up with my IP data logger
and it did work

what shows under view, debug info?

No luck with replacing the wdisplayftp.ini as suggested. Tried it several times with a backup copy form 24hrs before the problem started.

Still no uploads! Now almost 48hrs off the air.

I have had a look at the file wth an editor but cannot see anything wrong. However, spotting it would probably be very, very difficult.

Dave

Oh this is SO, SO frustrating.

Definitely exactly the same symptoms as DeputyDawg had.

Also, FYI, the Exit button DOES NOT work at all from time to time. So that clearly is not permanently fixed in 249.

I also tested with the same files and the original Mac version. It also does not work.

If someone could suggest WHAT is getting corrupted in these files or how cronrealftp is getting the wrong info, I would appreciate it.

Regds,
dave

Hi Brian WD MacB250 Version on 4 October 2015 - 23:42:35 shut down @ noon today. Had to restart WD all seems fine.
There was nothing in program error log.

that is the clue there…the response back is not what was expected
I have tested a number of times and it works here
but I will add some debug code to see what data is being returned on your setup
@bdtripps
it would be interesting to know if the problem is the FWI (i.e try turning the updates that off as a test)

@doggy
did you find a backup of the wdisplayftp.ini file?
does the ftp settings show up OK in WD itself?
one thing I could do is to get the cronftp to use a different ftp ini file (i.e a copy…creatd before WD uses it)

Hi Brian I shut off FWI updates and restarted WD.

Thanks
BTrip

@vk2him
a new update has some debug info re that error

Thanks Brian - this is what now shows:

do you have the IP data logger set to send to weatherlink.com by any chance?

also how long did you have WD not running for?

No, I’m not sending to weatherlink.com - the IP Datalogger is only accessed locally by WD on th3 same network. WD was off for approx 5 mins - thanks

any other software accessing the data logger?

No Brian - only one copy of WD is accessing it … the old version works fine and can download data - the new one has this problem

it is strange that it is working OK here every time
but for you, the data logger is not sending back what is expected
(there should be a 6 in that raw data (6 means OK response)
what I could do is add in some more debug code

Thanks for the efforts - do you think it may help to display the port number it’s trying to access? FYI mine is 22222 which I think is default?

the port number is not the problem…otherwise you would not get any data …
I have added in more raw debug info, to the latest update, you have ticked, log the raw data, under setup, advanced/misc

Thanks Brian -
