Both Cumulus 1 and MX both use the same basic files: [[Cumulus.ini]], [[dayfile.txt]], [[today.ini]], [[month.ini]], [[year.ini]], [[alltime.ini]], [[monthlyalltime.ini]]. Look up the Log Files index page or the individual file pages just referenced to see the differences between file content, and what you ''may'' need to edit to use Cumulus 1 files with MX. Both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX supply a number of ''templates that are processed into web pages'', although the end produce web pages are identical, '''the templates are not interchangeable'''. However, there are files that Cumulus 1 uses (for example it uses several image files and a weather diary in a XML file) that are not used by MX and also many files that MX creates (for example json files) that were not part of Cumulus 1. | Both Cumulus 1 and MX both use the same basic files: [[Cumulus.ini]], [[dayfile.txt]], [[today.ini]], [[month.ini]], [[year.ini]], [[alltime.ini]], [[monthlyalltime.ini]].

When running Cumulus MX, you either have a package that runs it for you, or you type '''CumulusMX.exe''' in your command type interface (or click a shortcut). You can however add parameters to the run instruction e.g. '''CumulusMX.exe -lang en-GB''' (to select the GB locale), '''CumulusMX.exe Current culture: English (United States)''', '''CumulusMX.exe -lang de-DE''', '''CumulusMX.exe -lang nl-NL''' '''CumulusMX.exe -port 8002''' (to change the port where the user interface runs), or '''CumulusMX.exe -debug''' (to have full debugging turned on as MX starts), '''CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1''' (for the Davis specific logging). Try '''start /min C:\Cumulus\CumulusMX.exe''' to run MX as a minimised package. | |||
