Current block says "offline"

[magical46]

Hi, My header block/ current block keeps saying "offline" where as the station status block says "online". this has only started happening in the last few days, I have not made any changes since the last update from Jachym and it was working fine then.

Any ideas?

I have been having the same issue but as a new user I don't know if that is normal or not. It will update and show active and then while I'm looking at it, it goes offline. Or, when I load the page it loads up as offline and then a couple of minutes later it updates. I've got my time interval set to 11 minutes which is what is recommended but it seems to make little difference no matter what time period is put in.

Well it definitely seems to be an issue with the "Current" block, I have swapped "Current" for "Gauges" in my header block and they seem to be updating ok, also the gauges plugin and current plugin are all working fine. Don't know what has changed but I have used the Current block as my header for a long time and it has been no problem till the last week or so.

Just to say I am having the same problem. Update works fine when run from a browser and using wget on the command line, but not as part of cronjob. The output from each run using wget in cron shows success. The URL for my site is https://www.orwell341.com/sh/indexDesktop.php

[orwell341]

I seemed to have sorted this out. I have created a cronjob on my Raspberry Pi which calls "updater.sh" every minute. The contents of the script is:

echo "run $(date) "
curl --data -v 'https://www.orwell341.com/sheldon/updat ... rd=xxxxxxx''

At the moment I have the output going to a log file so that I can confirm it is working OK, but you could leave out the -v and remove the echo statement to silence the script.

i have same problem when i move server from http to https
i try curl --cacert downloaded.pem -X POST https://the-url-to-access
but no success

Not super clear. But if I understand correctly you are uploading a text file and updating your database calling update/update.php ( did you configure it via meteotemplate control panel -> database update? ).
If this is the case I think you could call update/update.php via http ( your server should redirect to https, if autoredirect enabled ) or you could use wget ( or you could exclude the directory update from the autoredirect, via .htaccess for example ).
Another test you could do is calling 'manually' update/update.php?password=xxxx from the browser, and it should work .

From browser it working I enable pluagin for autoupdate, but from server not working. From server whit http:

Try curl without the '-I' option

I try whitout -I option but none working jet

[davidefa]

Does curl print any useful information?
Did you try another utility ( like wget for example ), if it works from the browser it means everything is ok ( but we need to find the right parameter/options )
Another thing you could try is disabling the http to https automatic redirection for directory update ( as you say the problem began when you moved from http to https )
