Weatherflow and no output

[James Fritz]

I installed weewx then the UDP driver for weatherflow.  I had it working for the local webpage for data coming in.  I then tried to install the Belchertwon skin and was having problems there, so I uninstalled Belchertown, could not get original setup to work, so I reinstalled Weewx & the weatherflow udp driver.  

I have set up my weewx.cong file, but do not seem to be getting any data to return to the local webpage now.  I am not sure what I am missing or where the problem lies.

I am running rasp pi on a laptop with debian 10 and python 3

The usual issue is people not editing in 'their' sensor id into the sensor map in weewx.conf, or not even having a sensor map at all.

Post your WF section from weewx.conf so we can take a look.

as soon as I posted this, I saw my mistake, I used the wrong backup for my sensors.  I believe I have the correct endings for my station with the ".obs_st" for the Tempest.  I will see if that corrects it

[James Fritz]

I have the correct sensor information in now, but the page is still showing the original date of install and sample temps and winds.  I have rebooted after changes.  new config sensor:

this is the error I can find, not sure how to fix:

We're not going to be able to help with one-liners claiming to be 'the' error.

You'll typically see lots of one-line messages in syslog that appear to be 'drop everything uh-oh' that really are not.

But regardless, that error has nothing to do with weewx at all, it's strictly wifi related.

Google knows all on cause+effect there, search for "raspbian  wlan0: authentication timed out" for some likely explanations.

OK, I think I have made a real mess out of my system.  I uninstalled weewx that was the Deb package and then manually went thru and deleted anything that said weewx on it.  I then tried to install using the setup.py method and it did not install any of the required folders in /etc or /usr or /var.  

So I uninstalled that from the command line and went back to the Deb package.  I am left with the same result, it is not installing any of the /etc or /usr or /var files for weewx under those folders.  So, I am not sure where to look for a error log for something like this.  At a loss as to where to go next.

setup.py installs everything under /home/weewx

See the directory layout for setup.py installs at the bottom of this page:

Regardless, neither one of the installs are putting the correct folders where they are supposed to be.  It shows like there is an install going on in the command lines, but I am unable to run anything, no weewx.conf file to edit, nothing.

[Graham Eddy]

using setup.py, what is your ‘home’ set to in setup.cfg?

I do not remember since I have removed it now.  If i remember correctly, it was under /home/pi/weewx
