Hi
My SDcard had an issue and died, so I am rebuilding....

I have a Pi V3b+ and was running Raspbian, however this is now Raspberrypi.

When I try to get WeeWx, it will recognise  'http://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main' however when I run "sudo apt-get update" 
I get an error that "http://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster InRelease" and that there is no public key, so is blocked as it can't be downloaded safely.

Anyone get this?
Is it an issue with my Pi or weewx.com?

Thanks

Chris

Hi

Did you read this:

Did you do this:
wget -qO - http://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add -

It should work after doing the above (hopefully)

Hi Greg

 

I did, though would you believe I had a typo (Grrrr)

 

I check multiple times but missed that I typed wget -q0 as opposed to wget -qO……..

 

All good now

 

Thanks

 

Chris

i’d like to see a total cost figure put on cut & paste errors - it would be a big number

I did a fresh Buster and Weewx  install on my Pi Zero W yesterday and it all worked out fine .
Only problem I had was with getting Apache2 working . It didn't seem to work with this instruction
  • Install the Apache web server on the computer on which WeeWX is running. For example, on Debian systems:

    sudo apt-get install apache2

Later I saw somewhere else where it said
sudo apt-get install apache2 -y

And then it worked . Not sure if adding the -y did the trick or it was  just coincidence and just took Apache some time to run  ?

Anyway nice having Weewx not all bugged up like my old version was on Jessie with so many updates , config changes, etc . It is working fine with my Ecowitt newest api driver.

The -y just means install it without you having to press y to start the install.
If you don't have -y you get a prompt to install y/n

Thanks for info  Greg - one of these day I might figure out the basics of Linux ! I am happy I can stumble my way through it a bit now .
