Hello KenDB3!


I've recently upgraded to SBBS 3.17 and have encoun tered and error in your weather door. It was working fine before the upgrade, now, I get the following error when a user logs in and the weatehr for thier location is displayed:

Node 1 ERROR in weather.js: api.wunderground.com returned a 'querynotfound' error with this description: 'No cities match your search query'.

What other information do you need to troubleshoot this?

My first guess is that maybe the file /sbbs/ctrl/modopts.ini was overwritten and you are now missing the section for [syncWX]. Check the Sysop.txt under Section II, part 2.

If that is not it, then some Debug info might be helpful here.

In Synchronet, change your LogLevel to be Debugging. This should generate a Debug message in your Synchronet Control Panel and Logs that has the actual String sent to wunderground.com and the error the API kicked back (hopefully).

Changing the LogLevel is done in /sbbs/ctrl/sbbs.ini
More info about it is listed here: http://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbs.ini#loglevel

I also have some FAQ's here: https://github.com/KenDB3/syncWXremix/blob/master/FAQs.md

Nope, that section is still in the modopts.ini file

If that is not it, then some Debug info might be helpful here.

In Synchronet, change your LogLevel to be Debugging. This should
generate a Debug message in your Synchronet Control Panel and Logs
that has the actual String sent to wunderground.com and the error the

Logging level is set to debug and this is what I got from

Steven, I'm replying here, but I also read your email to me, but when I tried to reply back, I noticed your domain for your email was coming up as your private IP (192.168.x.x), so I am guessing you didn't get the email.

<Adding Good Info From Your Emails>

I think I've tracked down the issue. In SBBS 3.16c the door worked perfectly when I conecnted locally. My BBS is on my unroutable adres 192.168.1.28 abd my lcoal machine sits on the same networl The door
used to give the GEO-IP address of the Public address of my BBS when
I netered locally and it was correct.

Now, SBBS, is sending the un-reoutable IP address in the string.
I included all the debug into in my follow up post on Dove-Net

Here's the info from my SBBS.INI

[Global]
; Override system address for this instance (optional): HostName=infinity.synchro.net
; IP address of network interface to bind to (defaults to ANY/ALL

interfaces):

Interface=0.0.0.0

Is this the log info you mentioned adding? Because when I emailed you, I was advising that there is better log info directly in the SBBS Control Panel.

I took some screen shots. This is the program running normally: http://bbs.kd3.us/screenshots/Synchronet-Windows-Control-Panel.png

This example is if there is an error, there is Debug info you can grab: http://bbs.kd3.us/screenshots/Synchronet-Windows-Control-Panel-with-error.png

I think I know what's going on, and you probably can do an easy fix on your end. But I want to see the Debug to see whether it is something that can be avoided with a code fix in the app.

Hello KenDB3!

Replying to a msg dated 29 Sep 16 13:04, from you to me.

Not sure why the hostname is comming across as my internet network. ANd port 25 is redirtected by my ISP so I use the Synchro relay mail server.


I discovered once the debug was turned on what was going on. If I conencted to the BBS from inside my internal network, the script was sending the IP of my internal network. If I came in from "outside" then it sent the External IP address and the door works.

Based on your recommendation, I set the fallback setting in modopts.ini to this:

[syncWX]
wungrndAPIkey = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
weathericon_ext = .asc
fallback_type = nonip
fallback = 25984

and now everything is working just fine. Thanks for looking at this!
