Other problems that crash MX when you have just updated either MX or Mono, may relate to code added in update. For example 3.6.2 crashed in some contexts because of a new "FluentFTP.dll file", 3.6.3 reverted to the one used for 3.6.0. Other people have seen problems because of changes in how MONO worked on an update, although that was more of a problem with MX beta than later MX. | Other problems that crash MX when you have just updated either MX or Mono, may relate to code added in update.

= Accessing the Admin Interface = | |||
The admin interface is where you set all settings for MX. It also provides screens for editing log files and the extremes they contain. Finally it provides a number of pages where you can view the weather data Cumulus MX is processing. | |||
== Questions == | |||
Most problems will be in gaining access. | |||
# Read [[Cumulus_MX#Administrative_Interface|the documentation first]] to see how to access this interface. | |||
#Because the MX engine generates a web server on which to run the interface, there might be a permissions problem | |||
#*You might need to issue a one-off command to let the MX engine generate the web server, this often involves giving it '''root''' or '''administrator''' privileges although it does not need to run at the root or run in an administrator user. The command needed depends on your operating system, see [[Cumulus_MX#Installing_and_Running_Cumulus_MX|the documentation]], to see if it is covered there. | |||
#*You may need to edit settings in your virus checker, firewall, or similar software to open the '''8998''' port (or if you need to use a different port, start MX with the relevant port parameter). | |||
