Thread: GPSTracker on home server

i got the service running, but it still will not update... any advice on troubleshooting? did try to disable firewall

also the client are not that willing to pop up when started... it just sits there in the task bar

when trying to right click and choose close the app has stopped responding and i get the normal option to send an error report

deleteing all logs and DB did help that... but no updates yet

will try delete again on the server

did delete the log and DB on server but no updates

will try that on client now.. but server pc is taken by girlfriend playing world of warcraft for the next couple of hours

did not help on the client side... hmm... just going to grap a fresh copy of my client ini..

[Mapping]
#Mapping is MP3Car.com's attempt at creating a free open database of maps created by its user community.
#All map data collection is done without collecting personnel data but the following helps hide you more.
#Random deletion of points from startup or hibernate. This way when you start your journey from home or business nobody can track your starting location.
#The tracker automatically collects positional data every 100m so base your minimum number around how many 100m's from home you want to obscure.
#Remember the more data you delete the less map data we get.
#Default is 10 (1km) which is mildly paranoid.
MinPointsDeleted=0
#How often do you want to upload the data collected to the MP3car.com website?
#Options are:
#        0 is manual.
#        1 (default) is every day or next internet connection if more than one day has passed since last upload. Internet can be through wireless LAN.
