One problem various people have had is swapping from a Windows environment to a Linux environment. There are lots of new commands to learn, and specifying the interface is different so getting MX to connect to your weather station has been a problem for some. | One problem various people have had is swapping from a Windows environment to a Linux environment.

For setting up your web site see [[website_setup|this page first]]. | |||
There is no guide yet to the MX setting pages. Generally any edit you make to a setting takes effect as soon as you move to next setting, but some only take effect when you next restart Cumulus MX. Most settings have a friendlier interface than the settings for the similar feature in Cumulus 1. | |||
Cumulus MX supports updating to secure web sites, this feature is not yet properly documented. | |||
The use of decimal comma gives rise to various problems mentioned in the forum, as the guidance above says Cumulus MX uses procedures that depend on full stops being used for the decimal point in many log files. | |||
There is confusion between Cumulus 1 symbols for minutes (nn) and the Cumulus MX symbol for minutes (mm) which Cumulus 1 uses to represent months (mm or MM allowed). This is seen in NOAA report names and any web tags that have had a date-time modifier added. | |||
On Cumulus 1, some people used '.' to separate the hours and minutes (HH.nn), this causes problems in MX that only accepts a colon separator (HH:mm). Thus files like the alltime.ini might have a mix of times in different formats. | |||
