Live image not showing

[Skippyinspace]

OK bit of a weird one. on my Website www.skippyinspace.com

the image.jpg is being uploaded to the / directory

The allsky website is on www.skippyinspace.com/allsky-website-master (Is showing all the correct config.js settings) but no live image

If I rename the website directory to allsky ie www.skippyinspace.com/allsy it finds some ancient config file that I cant see on FileZilla and shows the default TJ image

According to the webUI which Ive had running its showing a live image, and actually created keograms, video, star trails of the radio room its being tested in.

What do I need to do to get the website to work, I take it is the directories in the settings file but what do I need to set them to.

Thanks from the technology challenged

I just updated the Troubleshooting -> Uploads Wiki page with what I hope is an answer to your questions, so other people can benefit as well. In particular, the 1st and last items should help. If not, let me know, because I want the Wiki to be useful.

FYI, your config.js file has:

imageName: "/current/tmp/image.jpg",

It's very unlikely you have a /current/tmp directory on your remote server. Per the Settings -> allsky-website Wiki page: "On a remote web server this should normally be image.jpg."

When I go to www.skippyinspace.com/allsy (misspelled "allsky" ?), nothing appears on the screen but some javascript is downloaded. I couldn't find an "image.jpg" or "config.js" at that location (or at www.skippyinspace.com/allsky).

I suggest putting your Allsky Website files in a directory called "allsky", not "allsky-website-master". In theory you can name it anything, but for support it's easier if it's in the "standard" place.

Hope this helps. Eric

Hi Eric, Hi Eric, Ive created an allsky directory and moved the same files I have for allsky-website-master but get totally different info from the config.sh file. the /current/tmp/image.jpg works for the web UI image when I change that I lose the image on the webUI Ive decided for the time being to use the Allsky - PHD (skippyinspace.com) <http://www.skippyinspace.com/allsky-website-master/> as the website as all the info in the config file is correct. Could you advise in the FTP settings file what my setting should be? # The remote directory where the current "image.jpg" file be copied to. IMAGE_DIR="/allsky-website-master/" WEB_IMAGE_DIR="" # The remote directory where the timelapse video should be uploaded to. # Some people prefer to put timelapse, keogram, and startrails in separate directories. # If you have the "allsky-website" package installed, use VIDEOS_DIR="/var/www/html/allsky/videos". VIDEOS_DIR="" VIDEOS_DESTINATION_NAME="" WEB_VIDEOS_DIR="" # The remote directory where the keogram image should be copied to. # If you have the "allsky-website" package installed, use KEOGRAM_DIR="/var/www/html/allsky/keograms". KEOGRAM_DIR="" KEOGRAM_DESTINATION_NAME="" WEB_KEOGRAM_DIR="" My FTP set up ins below. Thanks in advance Ian [image: image.png]

@Skippyinspace Ian,
The Allsky Website uses config.js (not config.sh) and virtualsky.json as configuration files. The WebUI uses config.sh and /etc/raspap/settings_RPiHQ.json, and doesn't care what's in the Website's configuration files, so changing imageName should have no impact on the WebUI. However, if you change IMG_DIR in config/config.sh, it'll probably break things unless you REALLY know what you're doing.

All the info in your config.js file on the server is NOT correct since it's still not showing the latest image. The Wiki explains how to fix that.

Did you read the updated Wiki page I mentioned in my last post? It should tell you what to use in your ftp-settings.sh file.

FYI, GitHub doesn't accept attachments/images when you respond via email, so I didn't see whatever image you had.
