MeteoHub first Installation problem

[maurer]

Dear All,
I am new to this at all and have got a new Davis 6162EU Vantage Pro II and a weatherBoxx Light.
I connect the Davis with the weatherBoxx Light with a Weatherlink Datalogger 6510 USB. I hope I have followed all first setup paper but still have got some problems to create some Graphs or WD / MW Live data. When I want to create a graph with WD Live I gte the error displayed "Error Loading Data, Check your clientraw data files in the location specified in the WDL configuration file and are not corrupted." To find the problem I check again all points and found this. The Meteohub log files show me this error
"error reading from wget process (status): --22:57:30-- http://logger.meteoplug.com/cgi-bin/lograw.pl# =# `-'#Resolving logger.meteoplug.com... failed: Connection timed out"

after rebooting the MeteHub the loffiles looks like:
logger (07.08.2012 23:10:46): data logger (version 4.9l, build 6691) started.
logger (07.08.2012 23:10:47): connect station 0 (Vantage via USB serial).

Can anybody give me some advise or help ?

Thanks very much

Hi,

It looks like your meteohub box is not able to "translate" logger.meteoplug.com to an ip address.

This is normally caused by either:
- No internet connection from meteohub
- DNS server is not properly configured.

Have a look at the system info page, and check:
Gateway -> This is the address of your internet router
DNS -> This is the address of the DNS server, could be your internet router or the ip address given by your ISP
WAN IP -> This is the result of meteohub trying to determine your internet address, if there is no address you have an issue connecting from meteohub to the internet.

Hi Ysbrand

Thanks, I change the network configuration from DHCP to fix IP
DHCP
IP 192.168.1.40
Netmask 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.1.1
DNS1 192.168.1.1

Fix IP
IP 192.168.1.40
Netmask 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.1.1
DNS1 157.161.9.6 (external DNS from my internet provider)

Netzwerk
Hostname: meteohub
Arbeitsgruppe: HOME
IP: 192.168.1.40
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 157.161.9.6
WAN IP: 87.102.188.58 (this was not in when I had got DHCP)

then I restart the MeteoHub, and check the Meteobub Log-file
logger (08.08.2012 20:01:58): data logger stopped.
logger (08.08.2012 20:02:51): data logger (version 4.9l, build 6691) started.

logger (08.08.2012 20:04:25): station 0 (Vantage), eeprom request sent.

logger (08.08.2012 20:04:25): station 0 (Vantage), no reading of Vantage's internal logger as data gap is less than 10 minutes: 196 secs

The error from before is now away but I still can't create graphs. With WD Live I gte the error displayed "Error Loading Data, Check your clientraw data files in the location specified in the WDL configuration file and are not corrupted."

Any Idea ??

[YJB]

Hi.

I assume you are using the WDL installed on Meteohub?

Did you configure the WD Data export tab?

Ysbrand

[maurer]

No I haven't configure

Now I set some sensores and set the tick for creating WD Data.

I will check tomorrow if I can create some graphs then.

Thanks
Tobias

Ok,

I've logged into your system (by request):

It turned out that WD-Live data was not configured for uploads.
-- Graph Uploads / Grafiken Hochladen
-- Select WD-Live from the drop downbox
-- Schedule "Every Minute"
-- Leave outputname as default "clientraw.txt"
-- Save / Speichern


Although it doesn't really make sense (at 1st sight) to configure uploads to a local system, this is what needs to be done in order to have Meteohub generate the clientraw file
