Not downloading application stack **solved**

[csgregg]

I am trying MeteoBridge for the first time on a WL-330N3G. Flashed firmware okay and got into MeteoBridge application first time.

Now after restart, the application stack does not download and I just get the landing page and the fast flashing LED. I have checked the network settings and the device is connected to the internet - I have checked with the OpenWRT diagnostics and have confirmed internet connection. I have also ssh'd into the device and can ping google.com etc...

Looking at the processes running, it is stuck trying to download the image from download.meteohub.com - the /tmp/image.log file contains:

and the image.tgz file is zero size.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Chris

It could be a problem with the site that the image is being downloaded from.... My TR-MR3020 is doing exactly the same thing right now, although it has been up and running all day. I just rebooted it (still evaluating whether it works with my WS-2355) and it's now not getting an image - no changes other than a reboot from last time it worked.

If I run a tail -f /tmp/image.log I can see that I'm downloading a zero length image, and the loader is in a continuous loop, always downloading a 0 byte image.

Might be time to go and do something else and see what happens in the morning

Suddenly early this morning around 1:00am US Central time my MR3020 started to have this same problem. I rebooted it twice and still have the same issue. It has been running flawlessly for months prior to today.

should work again. Was related to a problem when specifying "stick to Version 2.0" option. But is solved now.

I did a power recycle and it is still not working.

Just to check, I restarted my network and then my device started working again. That is strange, especially since the device was running with no issues for such a long time. Thanks.

Came in this morning and mine's happily running now - downloaded the stack sometime overnight.

Thanks for the fix

Geoff

Working now - thank you.

Does this happen often?

[admin]

no, it was a bug in one of the server scripts. As said, issue is solved.
