PTMagic Monitor Update Failed with PT 2.1 about ptmagic HOT 14 CLOSED

For Windows users try the following command using an admin level command prompt in your PT folder:

mklink /h ProfitTrailerData.json .\data\ProfitTrailerData.json

from ptmagic.

Ok so if you are on a Unix VPS run the following command in your Profit Trailer folder:

ln -s ./data/ProfitTrailerData.json ProfitTrailerData.json

This will create a symbolic link to the real PT data file and let PTMagic find it

I have made a fixed version of PTM and you can get it from: https://github.com/djbadders/ptmagic/releases

I have requested a Pull of the changes into the main PTM.

Trying to open the SalesAnalyzer in PTM results in:

Same here, the issue makes sense as they moved the ProfitTrailerData.json to under the data folder now instead of the root of the PT folder.

from ptmagic.

Thank you, that did the trick.

from ptmagic.

Hmmm I don't think it is related as the command is just making a symbolic link to the moved data file and this error looks more like communicating with the PT configuration web service.

from ptmagic.

Thanks for the quick workaround.

sorry i am not a coder, can you provide a step by step guide? thanks

from ptmagic.

@bitnick21 You need to open the command prompt, right click run as administrator. Then you need to change directories into your ProfitTrailer folder then type the command @djbadders posted. I'm not going to explain dos commands to you there is Google for that. Good luck. :)

from ptmagic.

@djbadders can you help me with the comand for a RPi with debian?

from ptmagic.

It would be the same command for any Unix distro:

ln -s ./data/ProfitTrailerData.json ProfitTrailerData.json

from ptmagic.

followed all instructions still monitor not working
