Pretty sure that got removed from the UI in this release if I'm remembering my Git notification emails correctly

Hi Steve, at the moment a big restructure is taking place in the emoncms git repo, which has resulted in the update branch being temporarily removed, hence the error which you are seeing.

This restructure is to try and make it much easier longterm for users to obtain the correct version (branch) and avoid confusion, not just for emonpi, but emonbase too. If you look at the emoncms git repo, you'll see that v9.0 & v9.x have been removed (merged into master), and further changes will be made in the coming days.

Be assured that there is not an update available for you at the moment, and when the restructure is complete, this issue will correct itself.

Thanks Paul

Hi

Can I rekindle this post as it’s been a while now and this is still now working for me? I reinstall my SD card i use the emonSD-17Jun2015.img from http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/10729 and then update to 9 using the guide http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/11407 and i log viewer is still not working the logs are outputting to the /var/log/emonpiupdate.log but not displaying on the admin page is anyone else have the same problem

Thanks Steve

The  /var/log/emonpiupdate.log has been recently moved to /home/pi/data/emonpiupdate.log to make the changes persistent between reboots as /var/log is mounted as tempfs and gets reset on reboot. 

What branch is your emoncms on? If you have updated to 9.x then 'Stable' would be the best branch to be on, this is what will be on all emonPi's by default in the future once the 22nd Dec image is released. If your on Master or Stable branch the log should update to show from /home/pi/data

Hi Glyn

im running 9.3 branch stable
pi@emonpi /var/www/emoncms/Modules $ cd /var/www/emoncms && git branch -a
  low-write
  master
* stable
  remotes/origin/Extended
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/v8.5
  remotes/origin/low-write
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/postgreSQLite
  remotes/origin/stable
  remotes/origin/v8.5

there is a /home/pi/data/emonpiupdate.log but its empty 

there is also a log file in /var/log/emonpiupdate.log this is the log file the data is going to

pi@emonpi /var/log $ nano emonpiupdate.log

Ah got it, you need to update the cron entry to point to  /home/pi/data/emonpiupdate.log

$ crontab -e

 * * * * * /home/pi/emonpi/update >> /home/pi/data/emonpiupdate.log 2>&1

Hi Glyn

Yep that got it working :)

Thanks for the help

Steve
