I've skimmed this thread a few times and verified my ssServer settings over and over but something isn't right. I followed the instructions in the readme file a few times now trying to pinpoint the issue. I configured the ssserver to idk.serveftp.net port 3307 and logged in with my acct from skydvrz.
I am not seeing any MySQL traffic from you. Were you able to log in successfully? You should see an error dialog box or a progress bar appear when ssServer sends me a bug report upon login failure. BTW, I don't have a "Mark" in my users list. Did you use a different email name? I base your login on your email address.
I had a bunch of Mantis errors recently with someone entering " idk.serveftp.net" <- note the leading space. That is not a valid database hostname. Could that have been you? If so, remove the space and try again. Also, if you leave the hostname blank, ssServer will try to connect to a local MySQL server (and fail) on the same PC. Someone tried that recently too
I ran and configured the GAS as instructed but no data ever shows in the SSserver window fields.
You need to let it run for a few minutes. The Gateway only sends Sensor Data Packets (SDP) every 3-15 minutes. Be patient
Also, I presume since I'm basically changing how/or where it is sending its data that I will no longer be submitting it to my lacrossalerts site. What if I wanted to (even if temporarely) reconfigure it to submit the data to LacrosseAlerts ? Would I use the GAS to do so or do I have to register it per the la crosse docs)
You are simply changing
where the Gateway sends its data.
Just shut off the proxy settings with GAS, click the save button (or whatever it says). Wait a few seconds for the new settings to store, then click the Reboot button in GAS.
Any time you change settings in GAS, you have to do the save/pause/reboot dance or the settings won't "take".
After removing the proxy settings, your Gateway should begin reporting to La Crosse again within a few minutes - again, be patient. La Crosse has a
minimum update interval of 15 minutes, downhill, with the wind at your back (pardon the pun). The La Crosse server can go to sleep for hours - as you might have noticed.
