weeWX on Mac 10.12.4 Sierra - no index.html after 30 minutes

[MRL]

My thanks for the quick responses to get weeWX running on my Mac - the change to setup.cfg did the trick.

Started the program and it is getting data from the Davis Vantage Pro/2.

Tons of png files in the public_html directory but no index.html

It has been about 30 minutes since the program started.

Program is continuing to read data - look OK.

What happened to index.html?

Thanks again

Hard to say without seeing the log, which brings us to a deep flaw with Sierra: they changed the logging facility in such a way to make it extremely difficult to access it.

There is still the file /var/log/system.log, but it will only contain events with very high priority. To see the lower level events that weewx generates, you have to use their "unified logging" facility, which is extremely difficult to use. This kind of works for me:

1. Run weewx

2. Now check the log for the last few minutes, grepping for just the Python stuff:

log show --info --debug --last 3m | grep Python

There may be an easier way to do this, but it's the best I can come up with. Even so, it will only show the Python-related logging events, so you may miss some OS-related events that are relevant to your problem.

Help from any Mac expert would be eagerly welcome!

Seems to be an access violation. Not sure how to fix this.

I don't think so. DS_Store is just used by Finder for custom folder display options.

What do you get when you try the log command I posted, immediately after running weewx?

Are you running weewx directly from the command line?

What happens if you try the utility wee_reports?

Gave up on using MacOS. Please see my email about trying Ubuntu VM.
