Using 4.0.0b18 with steel series but weewx isnt generating public_html/index.php

[Cat22]

I thought this was working but it's not generating index.php

wee_reports seems to run fine and wee_debug doesnt show an error when i grep it (I haven't read it all)

I am using the steelseries gauges and SKIN_ROOT is set to ss in my weewx.conf file for both [[StandardReport]] and [[SteelSeries]]

Any ideas? I'm guessing something is mis-configured but I don't know what.

TIA

I presume you mean index.html, the skin generates index.html not index.php. Going to need to see a debug=1 log extract covering at least a couple of archive intervals. Would also help to see your [StdReport] stanza from weewx.conf or a wee_debug report. In either case do check before you post for any sensitive info, user names, passwords keys etc.

Ok, I just set debug to 1 and restarted weewx. When it gets a few cycles i wil post the results, but It looks like its not executing the steel series stuff

Here is my StdReport stanza:

[StdReport]

    # Where the skins reside, relative to WEEWX_ROOT
    SKIN_ROOT = ss

    # Where the generated reports should go, relative to WEEWX_ROOT
    HTML_ROOT = public_html

    # The database binding indicates which data should be used in reports.
    data_binding = wx_binding

    # Whether to log a successful operation
    log_success = True

    # Whether to log an unsuccessful operation
    log_failure = False

    # Each of the following subsections defines a report that will be run.
    # See the customizing guide to change the units, plot types and line
    # colors, modify the fonts, display additional sensor data, and other
    # customizations. Many of those changes can be made here by overriding
    # parameters, or by modifying templates within the skin itself.

    [[SeasonsReport]]
        # The SeasonsReport uses the 'Seasons' skin, which contains the
        # images, templates and plots for the report.
        skin = Seasons
        enable = false

    [[SmartphoneReport]]
        # The SmartphoneReport uses the 'Smartphone' skin, and the images and
        # files are placed in a dedicated subdirectory.
        skin = Smartphone
        enable = false
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/smartphone

    [[MobileReport]]
        # The MobileReport uses the 'Mobile' skin, and the images and files
        # are placed in a dedicated subdirectory.
        skin = Mobile
        enable = false
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/mobile

    [[StandardReport]]
        # This is the old "Standard" skin. By default, it is not enabled.
        skin = ss
        enable = false
    [[SteelSeries]]
        skin = ss
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/ss
        enable = true
        [[[ImageGenerator]]]
            top_label_font_size = 14
            bottom_label_path = /usr/share/fonts/texlive-gnu-freefont/FreeSerif.ttf
            bottom_label_size = 16
            axis_label_path = /usr/share/fonts/texlive-gnu-freefont/FreeSerif.ttf
            axis_label_size = 16

The rest is at defaults

I found ne problem in the debug log:

 DEBUG weewx.reportengine: Cannot read skin configuration file /usr/local/bin/weewx/ss/ss/skin.conf for report 'SteelSeries': Config file not found: "/usr/local/bin/weewx/ss/ss/skin.conf".

And i see I had SKIN_ROOT set to ss instead of skins -  so that is fixed, but i still have an error, the steelseries isnt generating index.php so I will see what pops up in the log now that i have fixed the SKIN_ROOT

[Cat22]

I fixed it. It seems that if    [[StandardReport]] is not set to enabled=True and skin=ss then SteelSeries wont generate the index.php

It must depend on that somehow?

   [[StandardReport]]
        # This is the old "Standard" skin. By default, it is not enabled.
        skin =

ss
        enable = true

No they are not related/dependent, more likely the issue is the too many 'ss' in your [StdReport] stanza. This also is not good:

DEBUG weewx.reportengine: Cannot read skin configuration file /usr/local/bin/weewx/ss/ss/skin.conf for report 'SteelSeries': Config file not found: "/usr/local/bin/weewx/ss/ss/skin.conf".

skins (and their config files) are normally under /etc/weewx/skins or /home/weewx/skins. Can you try the following changes to [StdReport]:

1. change SKIN_ROOT to be:

# Where the skins reside, relative to WEEWX_ROOT

SKIN_ROOT = skins

2. change [[StandardReport]] to be:

   [[StandardReport]]
        # This is the old "Standard" skin. By default, it is not enabled.

        skin = Standard
        enable = false

Restart WeeWX and if it is not working as expected post a log extract with debug = 1.
