    Dear All,

    I setup my Raspberry PI 3 B+ with the script method. I'm running Raspbian Buster and I'm already feeding FA and FR24. The installation scripts gave me no error. but I have a couple of questions:

    1) Why don't I see myself on the stats page? I'm living in the Rome zone, Italy
    2) How can I see that I'm really feeding Adsbexchange?

    Thanks in advance

    Thank you Gentlemen! I found myself on the map, and I saw through .../myip that I'm feeding.

    Enjoy your day!

    ciao

    Hi all,

    I am having the same problems. It seems that I am connected but I can't see it on any map ( 4a or 4B) Can some one please enlighten me?
    Thanks

    I searched you in all the regions, and actually you do not appear. Just an idea.... did you properly set you latitude and longitude?

    Bye

    Thanks for the reply. I did set my location Schermafbeelding 2019-08-21 om 13.57.06.png


    I don't know how to check it in my PI. But used the same coordinates as for the other feeds

    Will rerun the sh setup

    It's most likely the servers acting up. Just leave it running and check back now and then on the correct map.

    Re run the setup. Your attachment is relevant to the map, not to the feeder. They're definitely two different things

    Post content of adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh and /etc/rc.local
    I bet there is a mistake in one of them.

    You have, I think, just to reconfigure the mlat-client.

    Look the differences between your adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh and mine.

    You're missing several parameters, first coordinates and username.

    I suggest you to rerun the setup, rather than modify the file. You'll have a more clean installation.

    Good luck!

    You both, those screenshots have ridiculously large fonts.

    Anyway in nano there is probably not the whole line visible.

    Sorry for my fonts. It's what I can read on my phone.
    Right the comment about nano
