Hi,
Can anyone give me some help. All of a sudden my meteohub will not completey boot. It looks like it booting up but I can't access it through my browser and it is not transmitting weather data.
Thanks

Given the past history of other users with the NSLU2, odds are your USB stick is corrupt and you'll need to reinstall Meteohub (probably onto a new USB stick.)

Ok I'll give that a try.
Thanks for your quick reply

Well I did get it to boot doing what you recommended but now I'm getting this error when on the Weather Networks page -

error connect socket 127.0.0.1:5556 :Connection refused
Sensor assignments cannot be stored because data logging process has been halted.

According to the System Info page the Weather Data logging is running.

Thanks for any help

Have you tried Maintenance => Data Logging Process => Stop, then Start?

PS. Might be useful also to mention the Meteohub version number you are using.

Thanks for the reply skyewright. Yes I tried that. Clicking Stop works ok but when I click start the browser just sits there going nowhere.
The version I downloaded is 3.3, but the System Info page shows 2.3?
I have an Oregon Scientific WMR100 connected to the NSLU2. Do you suppose I have a problem with it sending data to meteohub?

Well I proved that theory wrong. I connected the wmr100 to my laptop and setup Weather Display to get it's input from the USB feed of the wmr100 instead of via tcp from meteohub and it's getting the weather data ok.
So I'm still lost as to why meteohub isn't getting the data.

If System Info says 2.3 then that is most likely what is really running.

When you did the re-install was it to a fresh USB stick?

Some sort of USB stick related problem still seems favourite... :(

Hi again skywright,
Yes I bought a new Kingston 2gb usb stick and loaded the software on it using the 2 stick procedure. The browser interface seems ok except for the data logging. When on the System Info page does the version number refer to the meteohub software or the firmware?

Is there a reason you couldn't just use the NSLU2 Meteohub v3.3 2GB disk image to install the firmware directly? You shouldn't need to go through any complicated two-stick procedure, and if you did the "mirror old stick to new" option you probably copied corrupted files onto the new disk.

The Meteohub System Info page displays both the Linux kernel version (should be 2.6.21.7) and the Meteohub version.

If you're using a very very old version of Meteohub (v2.3 or earlier) there's an extra step involving upgrading the NSLU2 firmware, (as noted on the Meteohub USB stick image downloads page), but that's also well-documented in the help files.

Well it's finally working. I have no idea how I got Ver 2.3 on the stick. I loaded 3.3 on and it started working. Installed the latest update and it stopped working. After many failed attempts at reloading 3.3 I installed 4.0 rc1 and got it working for now. Really flakey. If I continue having problems then I'm going to investigate the x86 route I guess.
Thank you everyone for your help.
Now I'm going to celebrate by going out for a snowmobile ride :)
