skydvrz:
I am starting a new thread to deal specifically with SkySpy, the weather station bridge software for the LaCrosse C84612.  SkySpy sends your weather data to Weather Underground and can optionally store your data on a MySQL database server.

Please post SkySpy questions here.  Thanks!

With a good deal of help I have my machine running the SkySpy app and server.  Things look good on the PC end, but no data is getting to Weather Underground.  I think I've got the "External Display" setup properly (checked the "Enable Weather Underground Upload" box and filled in the fields).  Any tips on chasing down the problem will be greatly appreciated as always.

Are you sure you have your WU station ID and password entered into SkySpy correctly?  It should be a slam dunk - the WU protocol is really simple, so there is not much that can go wrong.

Make sure your firewall allows outbound HTTP/Port 80 for SkySpyService.EXE

I'm pretty sure I do.  But anything is possible.

You can try and make it fool-proof - but I may prove to be a better fool.

I need to check that.  Perhaps that's the problem.

For what it's worth the MiniWeb is updating on my computer - but I'm not able to update its location or title.  Right now it reads:

"My Web Site zzzzz"
and
"Location:  Over Yonder zzzzz"

I think these are the strings you entered by hand in my .ini file.  It's not that I need the mini-web to work.  Just thought this might offer a hint.

I'll see what I can do with the firewall and report back.  Thanks!

I added an outbound rule to my Firewall to allow SkySpyService.  I'm not yet seeing updates on WeatherUnderground, but it's not clear to me whether I should be seeing them right away (within minutes) or should expect to wait a day or more.  There are notes on WeatherUnderground that suggest a station that hasn't been sending data will not update for a day or so when it starts sending data again.  The page I'm looking at is:
