posting to emoncms.org works but local fails

Submitted by pimmernl on Fri, 13/03/2015 - 23:23

I have setup my arduino with shield connected to the raspberry pi via usb.
This works very well, and posting to emoncms.org also works
But the data doesn't show up locally
I've set the logging level to debug, but don't see any errors. I only see communication with emoncms.org but nothing locally.

What did I do wrong?

part of my emonhub.conf file

I'm not sure if
url = http://127.0.0.1/emoncms

will resolve correctly. the usual entry is
url = http://localhost/emoncms

and if that doesn't work we tend to use
url = http://IP.ADD.OF.HOST/emoncms

assuming you have assigned if a fixed IP at your router

"I've set the logging level to debug, but don't see any errors. I only see communication with emoncms.org but nothing locally."

That doesn't sound quite right, I would expect there to be something! there should be some logged attempts to send (regardless of whether they are successful or not) unless the reporter failed to create at startup (which should be logged too)

Ahhah!!! Remove the underscore from "runtime_settings"! if it can't find "runtimesettings" it will not create the reporter.

Thanks! Found another typo, now it works perfect.
