Ugh. My old PiAware died and in swapping it out I accidentally deleted my old feeder. Is that something an admin can fix? I feel so dumb, pilot sad.
On the stats page you should be able to find the old feeder id or the unique identifier.
You can add that on the new feeder.
sudo piaware-config feeder-id XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
is the command, you’d have to ssh into the pi before.
Or modify the piaware-config file, which should be in the visible boot partition. Hope that is still accurate.
Following this link via brother in your network is another way to find the id, all id should be listed there.

Thanks so much. I did last time for forgot this time.. and “cleaned out “ the old station. This is the source of the dumb feeling. Is the site ID the feeder ID (and not the unique ID)? I’m not finding the old feeder ID, but I do have the site number.
The feeder ID is the long “Unique Identifier” shown under “Site Information” if you go here while logged in: https://www.flightaware.com/adsb/stats/user/FerventGeek. But I only see one active site, which was only created recently; how long was the old site down for?
If you have the old site ID that’s easy for us to look up (I’m just not in front of a db client right now)
(later): I re-enabled site 32488 for you, which I think is the one you were after. You should see that on your stats page now, you can copy the feeder ID from there.

Well shoot.. now i have two stations with the same feeder ID, and the Station edit form isn’t showing the delete link- perhaps because if the duplicate feeder ID?. Site 266929 is the one I accidentally created and don’t need, 32488 is my forever site to keep.
Is there a way for me to fix that? Can create a 3rd Station with a new id, then maybe delete the two stations that I shouldn’t have, then re-register the feeder with the old station’s feeder ID?
Thank you again for help unwinding my goof.
You are now feeding only one site (32488),
The feed to other site (266929) has stopped as soon as you started feeding your old site.
It will show after your feed to new station remains stopped for few days. check again tomorrow and after tomorrow.
