Graphs not showing in EMONCMS?

Submitted by robur on Wed, 11/09/2013 - 18:37

Hi,

I now have my MCU posting nicely to EMONCMS on our server but for some reason the graphs wont show, either from the FEEDS tab, the VIS tab or the DASHBOARD?

My DATATYPE is RealTime, my ENGINE is TimeStore - on the INPUT tab the Process shows as LOG.

When I try to view a graph I can see the buttons controlling Day, Week, Zoom etc but no frame is drawn, no data, no key, no axis etc - just blank - see image below.

Not sure where to even begin to look to solve this one?

Any ideas much appreciated.

I suspect that others are experiencing the same issue;

Hopefully it will get sorted shortly.

Thanks Paul,

Good to know its not me.... make a change :-)

Whilst you're there, I don't suppose you know what goes in this line in the setting.php file?

$timestore_adminkey = "";

Cheers

When you install timestore it generates the "timestore_adminkey" and displays it on screen when the installation is finished. If you didn't make a note of it, you can find it by issuing the command:

cat /var/lib/timestore/adminkey.txt

which will display it on screen.

Ah, so I have to install TimeStore in addion to EMONCMS !?

Are there any instructions on how to install onto a remote server - ie my webspace?

Just run the command detailed by Phil, and copy the admin key into your settings.php file.

Thanks Paul

I'm not on a Raspi but on a normal web server... does that make any odds?

Not sure where to enter the command?

What is your web server, what hardware is it running on?

Hi Paul,

MySQL running on, I think, a Linux machine somewhere in the world. Looks like it has SSH server access but I need to ask the admin folk to grant me permission - is that where I need to go? I do have access to PHPMyAdmin though.

PHPMyAdmin won't help, this isn't a database issue, but not sure how to advise you, as it depends how much access to the system your provider allows.

Same problem here : http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/2867

My system is Ubuntu 10.04, followed instructions for "Linux install".

I've done nothing about Timestore, got the sources via git clone. No adminkey.txt.

Get your timestore key by;

$ cat /var/lib/timestore/adminkey.txt

and copy it to your settings.php file.

Reboot.

No, you dont understand.

I have installed Emoncms following instructions here : http://emoncms.org/site/docs/installlinux

Then, in a shell :

root@domotique:~# cd /
root@domotique:/# find / -name adminkey.txt -print
root@domotique:/#

So we have a Timestore Emoncms without doing anything (patching or something like that).

Ok, a little step forward :

I have installed the Timestore by following instruction for Rasberry Pi. I just should add a "apt-get install build-essential" before everything :)

Now, I have a timestore up and running and a key. I copied the key to settings.php. And now, I'm falling back to thread http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/2806

Same errors same logs.

Ok, found a solution.

A fresh new install on a new VM with Ubuntu 12.04 (instead of 10.04). I first installed the Timestore as described in Raspberry documentation (install from scratch). Then I installed Emoncms following instructions found on "Linux install".

Now, I have graphs Feeds (but you need to zoom in when you select 'DAY' because it's just starting), Vis and Dashboard.

Problem resolved for me :)
