Local website only shows "Allsky is starting up"

[The-J-BB]

Hi friends!

Today I finished the last adjustments in the software to get reasonable results. Shortly after sunset I tried to adjust the overlay in the local website. I made some changes in the Editor and in the WebUI, since 3 hours I get only the green "starting" screen on the local website while the live view in the WebUI works fine. What is the problem? Did I forgaot something or made I a mistake???
When I reload the local site sometimes fast , there is another message, attached in the image below.

A few thoughts:

• Is the local Website enabled in the WebUI?
• Is the imageName setting in the configuration.json file set to /current/tmp/image.jpg?
• Do you see any startrails, keogram, or timelapse videos on the local Website?
• Have you forced a refresh of your browser with SHIFT-F5 when viewing the "starting up" image?

Also, run postData.sh and see if you get any error messages.

I have disabled the local website, rebooted the Pi and enabled the site again, that worked... The postData.sh showed no errors... No idea what the error was... But actually it runs, thanks!

Interesting, I had exactly the same "issue" & the solution was also the same, means:
Disable local WS, reboot PI, enable local WS. Had no errors with postData.sh

@laheller,
Can you go to the WebUI's "Getting Support" page and create a Support log, then upload it?
What time did the issue occur?

@EricClaeys

Sure, I am attaching the support log here. The issue occurred at nighttime and I "fixed" it using the above-mentioned method next day (daytime).

The only errors I saw in the log file were due to running out of disk space.
From what I could tell all the (many) times you restarted Allsky it was working fine.

I have noticed that the distortion of some lenses is greater than the projection of the overlay can compensate for. Perhaps in the future an overlay editor function with a "distortion matrix" would help to adjust the constellations and star positions more precisely. But I have no idea whether this is even possible with this system :-/

[EricClaeys]

The plastic domes we use probably also add a lot of distortion.

[The-J-BB]

thats correct. But I didn't found domes from glass, I asked several optics producers surrounding (Jena, Germany)
