Website seems no read config.js

[mmart636]

I'm configuring my allsky for website and everything seems fine, but my website doesn't seem to read the config.js file.
I have sent the website files with filezilla and my raspberry pi sends the image "image.jpg" to the allsky directory fine
Any help would be welcome.
Great project Allsky

@mmart636 Look at line 3 of your config.js file. I believe it's missing the 2nd quote. This will hose up everything.
In the future, you can press F12 in the browser, then click on >> then Network and refresh the page and it'll highlight in red the files it couldn't read. In your case, it could read the file, but it was corrupted. But F12 is a great debugging tool.

Thank you very much Eric,
I also change the path of "image.jpg", in [imageName: "image.jpg"], in the root of the allsky directory.
Now still in testing but I can already see my allsky.
Amazing project, deserves much more than a donation.

@mmart636 You shouldn't need to change imageName if the website is installed on your Pi, unless you changed something else.

Hi Eric,
Thank you very much, but a question....
In my case i have a hosting, (astromirades.com), with the allsky estructure folders. My raspberry pi send the last image.jpg by FTP to my hosting. I need to send the file to the root directory.
But if i decide to work only with the raspberry website, how do i link from my hosting to the index.php page, i don't know the public link for publish to internet. The addres is http://allsky.local/allsky, and it's no public.
I apreciate very much your help.

Best regards
Manel

@mmart636 Manel, if you want to use your Pi to host the website on the Internet, you need to open a port on your router to the Internet, then get an IP address and/or domain name (e.g., http://myallsky.com) from your Internet provider. How you do that depends on your networking hardware and your Internet provider. And you'll need to be careful opening a port on your router because it can be a security hole if not done correctly.
Since you already have astromirades.com, I suggest just staying with that. We will be adding features to Allsky to make it easier to manage remote websites, so it will just get better in the future. But a lot of people currently use remote sites, including me.
