Hello, I'm am trying to import about 9 years of data from Weather Display logfiles to Meteotemplate but not sure what I'm doing wrong. The url I use to the files works. I have all the separator settings correct, I think. When I click the "Show Field Numbers" button a tab opens with an error message saying "Not Acceptable." One thing that could be an issue and I hope it's not. WD was set to record at one minute intervals were as weeWX setup is for five minutes. I've attached some screenshots and a link to my logfiles. Thank you.
Logfile address:

Didn't have any success importing my data from Weather Display so I thought I would try the Weather Underground option. Things started out well. I put in my station id (KWAGIGHA12) and clicked the "Show Field Numbers." A tab opened up and it was showing all the WU Field Numbers. I set the fields to the to the WU ones and set the dates to import. I only set the dates for Oct & Nov 2017. I thought I would just start with a couple of months to see how things are working. After setting the dates I then click the "Test Import" button. A tab opens up showing the test import was successful. I then click the "Import Data" and then a tab opens again showing all the imported data. Over a 1000 pages worth. It appears everything went as it should. I thought I would check to make sure the data was there but it's not. The only data that's there is from when I first started using Meteotemplate (11-17-2017) up to today. I checked the size of my database before and after import and the database stays the same size. So, I don't know where all this imported data is going. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Wind direction must be in degrees, a number, not "North". There are two wind direction fields that WU uses - one is a number, the other one is a letter, most likely you used the other one

You were right. I set the wrong number for wind direction. Everything seems to be working good. The only problem I have is data form Nov 2016 to Mar 2017 is missing. I suspect it's from the WU side. Data before and after is there. Well I have more data than I had before. Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
