How to fix Meteobridge boot issue

[admin]

Caused by an erroneous update, Meteobridges that rebooted between July 25 22:00 GMT and July 26 8:00 grabbed
a bad boot code that will block them from booting correctly next time. The bug has been solved, but impacted
Meteobridges will need a manual intervention to come up again. This can be done in 3 ways.

1) Put this file onto a FAT formatted USB stick, stick it into your Meteobridge and power-cycle
the Meteobridge: http://tau.meteobridge.com/files/rescue (file must be named "rescue" on the USB stick)
Meteobridge should come up fine. When you can reach the normal web interface,
you are done and you can remove the USB stick. It is no longer needed, system has fixed itself.

2) Login via ssh (putty or any other ssh clients work fine). User is "root", password is "meteobridge"
(or the one you changed it to). Now give these two commands (both commands will take some time,
second will throw lots of messages/warnings but just ignore):

Code: Select all

/root/start download.meteobridge.com bridge.meteohub.com
/root/start.sh

3) Flashing firmware again will also fix is, but by this you loose your settings. It is the last way out,
I don't think you have to go that path and recommend 1) and 2) instead.

I am sorry for the hick-up but hope you will not have too much hassle applying the easy fix as explained above.
If you need more support on applying this bug fix, please contact "info(at)meteobridge.com".

I had the problem described by you as well. And has now been solved.

He works perfectly again,

thanks for your help.

I've been caught by this issue, but don't get a file to download when I click on your link to grab the file for a USB.

It takes me to some text on a page :

#!/bin/sh
#
/root/start download.meteobridge.com bridge.meteohub.com

Unless this is what I need to save as a txt file named rescue?

I don't know enough about ssh to go poking in there.

We had an extended power outage in my neighborhood (nearly 24 hours) and when power came back up I guess it was right on time to grab the corrupt files. Been sitting here trying to figure out why it won't go past the Landing page on boot-up and checked the forums.

What version are you running? Mine is Meteobridge 2.5 (Jul 26 2015, build 6777), FW 1.4 - but it doesn't work at all. I can't connect my weather station to it..just a red x. Tired of this crap!

I'm in the same boat as you it appears. Just came off a 24 hour power outage in time to reboot into the bad firmware. Mine goes straight t the landing page (says FW 1.3 on that page). I found the page here talking about the bad download and to load it onto a USB to fix but the file isn't there. Not too much into SSH but after looking at it I gave it a go. Downloaded Putty and logged into my Meteobridge and ran the commands as the instructions said to. Awesome! I'm in! I had to go through the setup again though as I had tried to just redo the online configuration like I recommended to you on WXForum.net thinking that it was my issue before I found this page.

I got in and my AcuLink bridge is the same as you: RedX. I'm getting Data from it on my Live Data page, but nothing is showing up onto WU or PWS or CWOP where my data goes.

I gave my system a reboot and it's back to the Landing page again exactly as it was before I ran the SSH commands to fix the issue.

I think that something has gone wonky in the software on the Meteobridge end that happened with the bad download this evening and we both got caught up in it. I'm just goign to let it ride for a day and check here to see when a fix is released.

Hey its a small world!

I let it go all night and checked it this morning..still same thing. Something is seriously messed up.

I even went back to previous version and it still doesn't work. Same symtoms. I don't know what is going on. I'm starting to think spending $70 on this firmware was a bad idea...

I hope we can figure it out.

Hi, when you see the blue Meteobridge admin pages, you are not impacted by this issue. The red X has other reasons and is probably not a bug.
Please send a screen dump of the tabs "weather station" and "system" to "info(at)meteobridge.com". I am sure we will sort this out rather easily.

When the text opens in your browser, just select "save page" (or similar, depends on browser) from your context menu (right mouse click). Name the file "rescue" without any extension (no ".txt" or similar), put it on a USB stick and proceed as described. Again, I am very sorry for the hassle.

Okay screen dumps are just screenshots of the tabs you asked? Just want to make sure haha.

Yes, but as you have trouble with a aculink (as I can see from your other posting)
giving me remote access (as just requested in the other posting) might be the preferred way.

Okay, sending you link + pass now! Really hope we can figure this out.
