emonCMS send failure: wanted 'ok' but got '

Submitted by alex88 on Mon, 23/03/2015 - 12:50

I set up an SD card following the Full Image build guide and all works good until I transmit data to the rfm12b with some data where I get this error:

WARNING emonCMS send failure: wanted 'ok' but got '

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks lads

Here's the settings:

# This interfacer manages the RFM2Pi module
[[RFM2Pi]]
    Type = EmonHubJeeInterfacer
    [[[init_settings]]]
        com_port = /dev/ttyAMA0
    [[[runtimesettings]]]
        group = 210
        frequency = 433
        baseid = 15

Here's how the log starts:

Those error would suggest no users have been created but that raises the question where did you get the apikey from if you haven't created a user yet?

try logging into emoncms (if you have craeted a user) and run the "update and check " from the admin page

Not sure how to "update and check" couldn't find an admin page on http://emoncms.org

But the same api works fine on a pre-built image. It's only with this new image I built that I'm experiencing this issue.

I noticed the emoncms database is empty, should that be like that?

The log says "emonCMS sending: http://localhost/emoncms/input/bulk.json?apikey=......" this isn't emoncms.org it's sending to "localhost" so the admin tab/page will be found at http://IP.OF.THE.HOST/emoncms.

The emoncms database is usually empty until you access the site via a browser, this is when the tables are created and then a user will be added to the user table when you register your first user. At that point you can log-in and get your apikey to put in emonhub.conf.

each emoncms account has it's own api keys. If you were previously sending data to emoncms.org from oemgateway you can still do that with the same apikey by specifying "http://emoncms.org" in the emoncms settings in emonhub.conf.

If, however you are trying to create a new local emoncms server on the same Pi you will need to resister a new user to get a new api as described above.

You can also do both if you prefer by creating 2 emoncms reporters in emonhub.conf (with different names eg emoncms_remote and emoncms_local) setting one to url = https://emoncms.org with your existing key and the other to url = http://localhost/emoncms and creating user and new apikey as above

@the op
I have been getting the same message, on a new install, however I might be having other issues as I am non-standard.
I found I didn't have a link which stated Admin
I had to log out, then log back in, and at the top-right there was now a link Admin
Clicking it, I do have an option to check the database, and mine was out of date, even though it is a new install and the initiation should have created what it needed.

In addition, I have traced some of my errors that are the same as yours down to:
1) Apache hanging
2) Something is locking out the emoncms user from the SQL database (even though it can edit the database using the emoncms web interface!)

The first can be fixed by
service apache2 restart
The second by
mysqladmin flush-hosts -p

However......
I am running a stock raspbian image, with the git emoncms at master
I am running an external MySQL server.

This is because I have a MySQL instance running with light to moderate use, so I might as well use it for any database servers. It isn't anywhere near overloaded, maybe averaging about 100 cmds per minute.
I naïvely thought that the data would be stored in th SQL database too, maybe some day.....

Just had a thought, the database lockout for my problem might be that I only authorised the user for an ipv4 address, where I also have ipv6

Anyway, I will have a bit more debugging and raise a separate thread if needs be

Thanks Paul, that sorted me out there. I had missed that localhost bit.
