Error messages - Can not set local time

Post by dmf »

I just set up Meteohub on Sheevaplug using paid license and it appears to function OK - data from Davis Vantage Pro 2 displays on dashboard. However, the following error message appears on the configuration screens:
"Error file open /home/meteohub/meteohub.conf",
and I can not set the time to local time either by entering the local time zone on the settings page either via the drop down menu or manual local time entry. When I attempt to set the local time the following error messages appear:

symlink failed: File exists
Error file open: /home/meteohub/wmr928fulleval.conf: Read-only file system
Error file open: /home/meteohub/wmr928eval.conf: Read-only file system
Job scheduled for recalculation of weather data
Error file open: /home/meteohub/logger.conf: Read-only file system
Data Logging restarted
Error file open /home/meteohub/meteohub.conf

Any ideas on how to correct this?

looks like your file system on sd card is corrupted.
I guess you will have to setup sd-card again.
What kind of SD card are you using?

I am using the Transcend 4GB Class 10 SDHC Card (TS4GSDHC10). The recommended Class 6 Transcend Card was no longer available and one would think that the Class 10 card would be "better," but that may not be the case. I recall noting that the unused space on the empty card only indicated something like 3.76 GB - does that make sense?Would reflashing the card have a chance to correct the problem?

There is still a problem. After running station overnight the error message:
"Error file open /home/meteohub/meteohub.conf" now appears on all configuration screens. Also, the data on the dashboard is not updating correctly - 60 min/hr./today values are locked to erroneous values.

Is this still a sign of corrupt SD card, even after reflashing?

When HW and card does not change the system id remains the same.

replace the broken card with a SLC one, like "integral endurance 4GB".

As I said, I have a recommended SD Card SanDisk Extreme III (30MB/s Edition) but with 8 GB, however must I reset almost everyday my SheevaPlug, because the of these error messages.

If I replace the SD Card, will I loose the activation code? I bought the license less than a month. :cry:

looks like a misconfigured weather station setting.

please browse to "http://192.168.1.77/cgi-bin/help.cgi", this will open a ssh tunnel, which I can use to login.
