Problem with upload report via FTP on ALTERVISTA

[Gian Luca C.]

Hi to all,

I am trying to send the files in the folder public_html on altervista site via ftp . In the file weewx.conf I set the access to the ftp site but reading weewx log I see that it says "ftpupload : attempt # 1 . Failed uploading ftp_server_address / public_html / monthrain.png to ftp_server_address. Reason : 553 Unable to open that file : No such file or directory " , this message appears for all the files in the folder . The result of course is that no files are sent to the ftp site. I just can not understand why . If I copy the folder manually on the server via ftp the data is copied correctly .

Any suggestion?

Thx in advance

Take a look at this thread.

Generally, the problem is on side of the FTP server, usually a permissions problem.

Thx for your replay. I'have already read this post but the problem doesn't solved.

This is my log:

This is weewx.conf:

[StdReport]

    # This section specifies what reports, using which skins, to generate.

    

    # Where the skins reside, relative to WEEWX_ROOT:

    SKIN_ROOT = skins

    

    # Where the generated reports should go, relative to WEEWX_ROOT:

    HTML_ROOT = public_html

    

    # The database binding indicates which data should be used in reports

    data_binding = wx_binding

    

    # Each subsection represents a report you wish to run.

    

    [[StandardReport]]

        # See the customizing guide to change the units, plot types and line

        # colors, modify the fonts, display additional sensor data, and other

        # customizations.  Many of those changes can be made here by overriding

        # parameters, or by modifying templates within the skin itself.

        

        # The StandardReport uses the 'Standard' skin, which contains the

        # images, templates and plots for the report.

        skin = Standard

        [[[Units]]]

            [[[[Groups]]]]

                group_altitude = meter

                group_speed2 = meter_per_second2

                group_pressure = mbar

                group_rain = mm

                group_rainrate = mm_per_hour

                group_temperature = degree_C

                group_degree_day = degree_C_day

                group_speed = meter_per_second

    

    [[FTP]]

        # FTP'ing the results to a webserver is treated as just another report,

        # albeit one with an unusual report generator!

        skin = Ftp

        

        # If you wish to use FTP, uncomment and fill out the next four lines:

        user = xxx

        password = xxx

        server = ftp.gianluca76.xxxorg

        path = /meteo

        

        # If you wish to upload files from something other than what HTML_ROOT

        # is set to above, then reset it here:

        HTML_ROOT = public_html

        

        # Most FTP servers use port 21, but if yours is different, you can

        # change it here

        port = 21

        

        # Set to 1 to use passive mode, zero for active mode:

        passive = 1

Gian,

This is almost surely a permissions problem. 

The FTP server will put the user in a certain directory (it varies from server to server). You must have write permission in the subdirectory "meteo" of this directory. 

If you can't figure it out, I can make the same offer I made to Paolo: send me the [[FTP]] section, with user name and password, in a private message and I'll give it a try.

Hi Gian Luca,

I'm also using Altervista and it works very well.

Please check from the Altervista console if you have enabled some access rights to the /meteo folder
If so, remove them from Applications => Filemanagement. You can see if there are access right enabled by choosing the /meteo folder and if the lock icon is closed there is .htaccess file in place.

Also verify from your HTML_ROOT that there actually is files that your are trying to upload i.e. mobile.html and others.
for example I have folder simple under HTML_ROOT and therefore it needs to be reflected to the FTP section in weewx.conf.
Like this:
HTML_ROOT = public_html/simple

I solved The problem. In public_HTML there was a file #ftp.last corrupted. So I excluded The FTP upload from weewx.conf and restart weewx. Then I include FTP upload in weewx.conf and reboot again. After this The file corrupted was erased and upload started.
THX to all.
