Ansrv always returns 00h00m00s 00d00´00¨

I´m a newbie here and although I´ve looked I can´t find a posted answer to my problem.

Ansrv seemed to install ok and the server is running — the log file is displayed. However, whenever I try to solve the log file shows nothing but a GET favicon.ico not found (which is harmless I believe) and nothing else. After a short pause the solved center is returned as the 0h 0degrees.

Running solve-field in a cygwin terminal produces

Reading input file 1 of 1: “foo.fits”…

which suggests to me that numpy isn´t being imported properly but wha do I know?

Any advice gratefully accepted.

Hi Paul,

Could you share your ansvr log file? It is located at C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\cygwin_ansvr\var\tmp\platesolve\ansvr_DATE_TIME.log You can post it here or send it to me directly at andy.galasso@gmail.com

If you would like more details about how to run solve-field from the command-line we can get into that, but if you are just trying to get blind solving working in SGP we can start with looking at the ansvr log file.
