*** upload.sh: ERROR, RET=1: FILE_TO_UPLOAD='/home/pi/allsky/config/settings.json'

Hello community,

I need help again!
Now I have played the remote config so far on my server. Allsky reports:

• You should continue to configure your remote Allsky Website via the WebUI.
• Uploading initial files to remote website(s).

***ERROR:

---

Check that the remote website has the newest files.
The 'viewSettings' directory does not exist.

Commands used are in: /home/pi/allsky/tmp/lftp_cmds/PostData.txt
Upload output from '/home/pi/allsky/config/settings.json:
*** upload.sh: ERROR, RET=1:
FILE_TO_UPLOAD='/home/pi/allsky/config/settings.json'
REMOTE_HOST='www354.your-server.de'
REMOTE_DIR='viewSettings/'
TEMP_NAME='PostData-6851'
DESTINATION_NAME='settings.json'

cd: Access not possible:550 /viewSettings: No such file or directory

postData.sh: Unable to upload '/home/pi/allsky/config/settings.json'.
Make sure 'REMOTE_HOST' is set to a valid server or to '' in 'ftp-settings.sh',
then run: /home/pi/allsky/scripts/postData.sh
to create and upload a 'data.json' file.

But the viewSettings folder exists on my server!!!

What do I do now?

Did you upload a test file? If so, did it work? If not, see the Troubleshooting -> Uploads documentation page for instructions to do so.

Hello Eric,

yes the Testfile is upload, but in Putty came a error Message:

*** upload.sh: ERROR, RET=99:
FILE_TO_UPLOAD='/tmp/Allsky_upload_test.txt'
REMOTE_HOST='ftp://www354.your-server.de/public_html/allsky/viewSettings'
REMOTE_DIR=''
TEMP_NAME='UploadTest-4806'
DESTINATION_NAME='Allsky_upload_test.txt'

open: ftp: Der Name oder der Dienst ist nicht bekannt
cd: Keine Verbindung

*** ERROR:

---

Unable to upload a test file.

and Putty can not upload the settings.json in viewSettings.
The viewSettings Folder is not recognized.

Greetings Andy

Is that error from when you tested the upload? You said the test file uploaded but the error message indicated the file did NOT upload.
I have never seen the open: ftp: Der Name oder der Dienst ist nicht bekannt error before. That indicates an error with the FTP protocol. Are you sure the server you are uploading to is FTP?

Did you follow the instructions on the Troubleshooting page in the "Still having problems uploading?" section? If so, it should have provided some debugging information like what directory it logged into.

Your REMOTE_HOST doesn't look right. It should only be the name of the server and should not include the directory. Try

REMOTE_HOST="www354.your-server.de"
# I suspect you will also need this:
REMOTE_DIR="/public_html/allsky
