Hi!

The given URL is unreachable or not correct.
A 404 error normally indicates that the requested resource is not available or accessible.

What happens if you enter http://192.168.12.140/public/ecowitt0.cgi in your web browser? Error message: not found?

Oliver

this will provide a "FAILED" 404 message even though MB can receive and process data

@KC5JIM
can you try to connect your console directly to Meteobridge - just for a short while and see if the live data arrive !?
hostname/IP: 192.168.12.140
path: /public/ecowitt0.cgi
port: 80
interval: 8

I tried with a new station and the Ecowitt Custom Upload driver - and it worked well - the only difference is that the format chosen was RAWEW and not EW (but this shouldn't make a difference)
we may have a firewall issue here

there may still be a MB issue
leave what you have as primary station and add another station, station #1 with the same driver (Ecowitt Custom Upload) and have FOSHKplugin post its data to  http://192.168.12.140/public/ecowitt1.cgi, format RAWEW and see what it gives

Connecting console directly to Meteobridge still does not provide data.
Creating station 1 using RAWEW from FOSHKplugin also does not provide data.

So, I looked in the /public directory of Meteobridge, and there are no ecowitt0 or ecowitt1 files, which explains the problem.

what Meteobridge do you have ? Model
what software version are you on ?
do you have an Ecowitt console with local API (GW1x00, GW2000 etc.) ?
if so, can you retrieve data with the MB GW1000 driver ?
what's the MB connection ? WLAN or LAN
IP address static ?

I see from the MB forum that you are running a MB VM and claim that there is no ecowitt0.cgi in your installation ...
did you connect via SSH to your VM and check the /www/public folder ?
If it is really missing, try to re-install the VM.
Before you do this, go back to an earlier version (System --> Administration), have the old version installed, check if it works now ...
VMs can be pretty tricky in the network context ... what VM do you have ? what's your network type chosen for the VM ?
Where do you run the VM ? Is the IP address the VM address or the server address ?
Blaming MB might not be the right thing to do - my MB VM runs properly !

there was potentially a bug though as today, 29-May-2025, a bug fix was leased:
Meteobridge PRO2, VM: fixes a bug that prevents from Ecowitt custom upload option being used successfully
does upgrading to the last software build fix your issue ?

Yes, the update resolved the issue.
