Upload to WeatherBug failing
« on: March 24, 2015, 05:25:09 PM »
I continuously get an error from WeatherBug stating that the server is "busy/unavailable".  I thought maybe my previous station ID had expired as it hadn't uploaded in a long time due to sensor errors (no anemometer installed, but is now) so I generated a new station and still get errors.  There seems to be no logging to actually show what is going on, I haven't found a log file that gives anything useful for troubleshooting these things.

Troubleshooting tips (Re: Upload to WeatherBug failing)

Dear Xipper and WeatherCat troubleshooters,

I continuously get an error from WeatherBug stating that the server is "busy/unavailable".  I thought maybe my previous station ID had expired as it hadn't uploaded in a long time due to sensor errors (no anemometer installed, but is now) so I generated a new station and still get errors.  There seems to be no logging to actually show what is going on, I haven't found a log file that gives anything useful for troubleshooting these things.

You may need to turn on the logging for WeatherBug to see any log entries.  Here is how you do that:



After you do that you should be able to see what WeatherCat is doing by opening up the Console application (in the Utilities folder.)  Once you have the Console application running, type WeatherBug into the search field as shown below:



That will bring up a list of log entries that involve WeatherBug.  That should help Stu and the rest of us diagnose your problem.

Cheers, Edouard

The logs show no errors, however the status page still says the same thing (see image).

Problem is on their end. (Re: Upload to WeatherBug failing)

Dear Xipper and WeatherCat data uploaders,

I don't know why you seem to be the only person with this problem, but the error is clearly in between WeatherCat and WeatherBug.  If WeatherCat reports the server as busy or unavailable, there is nothing WeatherCat can do.

Could your ISP be having some issues that would prevent packets reaching WeatherBug?  You might contact the WeatherBug folks, they should be in a better position to help you.

Sorry I can't offer anything more, . . .

It looks like no response (and WeatherCat is timing out after 7 seconds). It might be worth checking your password - if it's correct, try changing it to a password made up of just letters and numbers.

Thanks, you may be on to something if the system doesn't accept complex passwords using special characters (because they aren't escaped correctly in some script?).  One issue I have with Weatherbug is that I have never been able to find the URLs to manage anything related to my account, honestly Weatherbug makes it so difficult to manage your station with them that I am starting to wonder why I am bothering.

Any suggestions on how to actually manage my Weatherbug account?  I can only seem to find the page to register a new station or to register/login for their forums.

Nothing much I can offer either. It's uploading fine for me. Password is 10 characters long...combination of upper and lowercase alphabet, numbers and a # sign. I assume you've been through their FAQ?

Xipper, as a noobie here, I can understand your frustration with WU. :D There seems to be no real "management" capabilities available at WU. OTOH, it might help if we knew exactly what you want/need to 'manage'. This is one of the friendliest places on the web for getting help! [tup] 8)

About the only thing I can see that you can 'manage' is a Blog, if you're into that sort of thing. I personally don't read/have one, but that's just me, I guess. [blush] In my very short experience, WU is not much different in the other Internet sites when it comes to 'management' of your data. However, they seem to offer one of the most pleasant to view sites! :)

Xair:

Xipper is talking about WeatherBug, which is different that Weather Underground. Although your point is well taken; WU also is now way less easy to administer than it was before being purchased by The Weather Channel. However, this is a WeatherBug thread.

[banghead] Furst miztake uv thee yeer! Anyway, better to be half right than half a**ed! I hope [blush]

OTOH, I gave up trying to see my station on WeatherBug earlier last week. I have a link that shows my data and it's up-to-date, but it's pretty lame compared to what we can do ourselves in WC. I still agree with myself (since no one else does!) that the 'management' capabilities vary between none and non-existent.

I never use WeatherBug on my desktop Macs, but I see no way to access my site on the mobile version which is better than anything else I have on my iDevices. Just use the url, I guess, and look at the puny table display. Meh.

I decided to just give up, I also do not use Weatherbug but thought I would contribute my data to them...but it is of more value to them than me, and they make it too difficult to manage/fix problems so I have just decided to turn it off and not care about it.

thanks for the help though!
