Cannot Edit config files

[cleggers21]

I upgraded to the latest version, everything went OK, because I’ve moved my camera. I began tweaking the config to align the overlap, that went ok. Then, the Editor has stopped displaying the config files, I just get a drop-down box for local or remote. I guess a reinstall would fix but happy to try a tweak if it would help.

You don't need to reinstall. Let's fix the problem instead .
Please run grep ERROR /var/log/allsky.log

Hi, no ERROR’s in the log

Hi, no ERROR’s in the log

Is there anything in /var/log/lighttpd/error.log

@cleggers21, in your browser, press F12 and on the right side go to the Network tab.
Go to the Editor page in the WebUI and press SHIFT-F5 to force the page to reload.
If any of the files on the right side are red, that means the file failed to load.

I have seen the problem you describe before, and some file was missing.

Let us know what you find.

Nothing in red

@cleggers21, thanks for the screenshot. Those are the same files I have, although a few sizes are different.
Let's make sure the two configuration files are ok. Run:

json_pp < ~/allsky/config/remote_configuration.json > /dev/null
json_pp < ~/allsky/html/allsky/configuration.json > /dev/null

You shouldn't get any output.

Do you know HTML? The F12 output allows you to look at the HTML in the web page which may help determine what's happening.

Sorry been busy with festive things … I know a little html but not enough to spot anything amiss.
Should I reinstall the web sites or do a full reinstall?
