End of Night questions. #3817

I finally got consistent power to a very remote area, so now I'm troubleshooting the uploads of Timelapse, star trail and keogram.

I noticed that the files are created on the pi, but they don't go to the remote website. I ran the endOfNight script and don't see any errors. Can someone please advise:

masfitsallsky@mas-fits-allsky:~/allsky/scripts $ bash endOfNight.sh

@stevetim, please re-read the documentation page and do exactly what it says at the end of the "ftp-settings.sh file" section. There are three examples: 1) local Website only, 2) remote Website only, 3) both Websites.
Your ftp-settings.sh file above implies # 3. Do you have BOTH websites?

If the documentation page isn't clear, please let me know exactly what isn't clear so I can fix it. A LOT of other people have had the same problem you have, and they were all able to fix it after reading the documentation.

If an error message has /allsky/ in it, they something in ftp-settings.sh is setting that. Alsky doesn't add it by itself.

@stevetim, try running check_allsky.sh and see what it says.

Have you enabled uploads of those files in config.sh?

Doh! Didn't enable uploads, but when I finally did I have strange error. Why is it trying to upload to exact same directory on remote site.

Remote ftp logs directly to Memphisastro.org/allsky folder.

These are my ftp settings:

	# How will files be uploaded?
PROTOCOL="ftp"

	# The directory where the current image should be copied to.
IMAGE_DIR=""
WEB_IMAGE_DIR=""

	# The directory where the timelapse video should be uploaded to.
VIDEOS_DIR="/allsky/videos"
VIDEOS_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_VIDEOS_DIR="${ALLSKY_WEBSITE}/videos"

	# The directory where the keogram image should be copied to.
KEOGRAM_DIR="/allsky/keogram"
KEOGRAM_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_KEOGRAM_DIR="${ALLSKY_WEBSITE}/keograms"

	# The directory where the startrails image should be copied to.
STARTRAILS_DIR="/allsky/startrails"
STARTRAILS_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_STARTRAILS_DIR="${ALLSKY_WEBSITE}/startrails"

And here is the directory error

Please see the end of the "ftp-settings.sh file" section here.
It gives examples of what to put in that file.

You are indirectly telling Allsky you have both a local Website on the Pi, and a remote Website.

I read all that and there is something strange:
using lftp here is a listing of files/directories and you can clearly see the folders:

and this are the results of check_allsky.sh
note I intentionally was inconsistent with the 3 items that upload to see of one would make it. In other words different placement of slashes.

and this might be a clue ... I ftp directly into allsky folder, so I don't need the /allsky/ before see this error:

I removed all directories and told it to just drop the file on the server , so the Webb directory lines are blank

Here is error:

Commands used are in: /home/masfitsallsky/allsky/tmp/lftp_cmds/Timelapse.txt
Upload output from '/home/masfitsallsky/allsky/images/20240820/allsky-20240820.mp4:
*** upload.sh: ERROR, RET=1:
FILE_TO_UPLOAD='/home/masfitsallsky/allsky/images/20240820/allsky-20240820.mp4'
REMOTE_HOST='ftp.memphisastro.org'
DIRECTORY='/allsky/videos/'
TEMP_NAME='Timelapse-8942'
DESTINATION_NAME='allsky-20240820.mp4'

how do I disable the preliminary /allsky/ ... it doesn't seem to be on the ftp sh script.

IMAGE_DIR=""

@stevetim, please re-read the documentation page and do exactly what it says at the end of the "ftp-settings.sh file" section. There are three examples: 1) local Website only, 2) remote Website only, 3) both Websites.
Your ftp-settings.sh file above implies # 3. Do you have BOTH websites?

If the documentation page isn't clear, please let me know exactly what isn't clear so I can fix it. A LOT of other people have had the same problem you have, and they were all able to fix it after reading the documentation.

If an error message has /allsky/ in it, they something in ftp-settings.sh is setting that. Alsky doesn't add it by itself.

sorry EricClaeys ... you were absolutely correct ... I was confused because I thought I was 3, but I was 2.

@stevetim,
So many people have these problems that the next Allsky release will significantly simplify setting up a local and/or remote Website.
Local Website will come pre-installed and just need to be enabled. No settings.
Remote Websites will no longer allow specifying the startrails, keograms, and timelapse directories - only the "image" directory.
