Uploads to allsky-web failing

[mfratto]

Short story: I have a pi running allsky 8.3.3 and a pi running allsky-web. They can talk to each other fine, I can sftp to from the camera pi to the web pi, I can CD to the /var/www/html directories and put files manually. The upload scripts are failing and I don't know why.

I had this working last year and then my project stalled. Today, uploads won't work. this is the relevant snippet of the allsky.log.
*** upload.sh: ERROR, RET=1: Apr 12 18:42:37 allsky allsky.sh[7881]: FILE_TO_UPLOAD='/home/pi/allsky/tmp/image-20230412184155.jpg' Apr 12 18:42:37 allsky allsky.sh[7881]: REMOTE_HOST='10.1.1.20' Apr 12 18:42:37 allsky allsky.sh[7881]: REMOTE_DIR='/var/www/html/' Apr 12 18:42:37 allsky allsky.sh[7881]: TEMP_NAME='SaveImage-11000' Apr 12 18:42:37 allsky allsky.sh[7881]: DESTINATION_FILE='image.jpg' Apr 12 18:42:37 allsky allsky.sh[8014]: cd: Fatal error: max-retries exceeded Apr 12 18:42:37 allsky allsky.sh[8014]: cd /var/www/html/ failed!
and the lftp_cmds.txt

Trying again...'; (!sleep 3); rm 'allsky-20230412.mp4' && echo 'WORKED' && exit 1) && (echo '2nd rm failed, quiting.'; rm -f 'Timelapse-23364'; exit 1) && exit 3 mv 'Timelapse-23364' 'allsky-20230412.mp4' || (echo 'mv of Timelapse-23364 to allsky-20230412.mp4 failed! Trying again...'; (!sleep 3); mv 'Timelapse-23364 'allsky-20230412.mp4' && echo 'WORKED' && exit 0) || (echo '2nd mv failed, quitting.'; rm -f 'Timelapse-23364; exit 1) || exit 4 exit 0
I haven't been able to run these commands verbatim, but I did transfer files successfully from the camera pi to the website pi.

Any help? Thanks.

@mfratto Mike, see the Wiki page for Troubleshooting Uploads. It explains how to run an upload in debug mode.

Thanks Eric. I hadn't logged used sftp or ssh with that account so there was no key for SSH. Now its all good.

Thanks for all the effort on this software. It's really great to use.
