Title: Cumulus MX on Raspberry Pi with local web server - fully functional setup
Post by: Dan on May 16, 2016, 09:26:25 PM
Hi guys,

Took a while but I've got MX running on the Pi3 with local webserver (Ngaio weather (http://ngaioweather.ddns.net))

Key things to note:
1. Read the MX and announcements page (http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12908)
2. Read the website set up instructions page (
Simple Website setup - CumulusWiki (http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Simple_Website_setup#Cumulus_MX))
3. Read the standard templates page (
Customised templates - CumulusWiki (http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Customised_templates#The_Standard_Templates))
4. Check the permissions of /var/www/html folders and files

See attachments below for detail

Cheers

Dan

Excellent!

The question I have is that since you have ticked to "Include Standard Files" then why you would need to list and add those same standard files such as indexT.htm, recordsT.htm, etc. again in the Extra Web Files?

I am not familiar with Pi nor local webserver and perhaps that makes it different to Cumulus 1 and MX on Windows?

Enjoy,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Likewise, I thought I wouldn't have to include all the extra files.  Hunting around other forums, and by trial and error, this seems to be how to get it working.

Cheers
