Repeated error: Copied 0 files to /var/www/html/weewx

[ANDREI ROZWADOWSKI]

Good evening!
I've already asked a similar question before.
The data in the /var/www/html/weewx folder has not been updated
The problem was solved by entering the commands:
wee_device --dump
wee_device --clear-memory

Now entering these commands does not help
The following messages are displayed:

What could be the problem?

You must have made a mistake in your weewx.conf file

Thanks for the prompting, John.
But I immediately have another question:
The Davis Vantage 2 Pro weather station is located at a remote location. It's been working there for the second year now. And I know for sure that no one has connected to it or made changes to the configuration file.
Where to look for the error?

It's coming from the vantage driver around line 1645 or so - looks like it's getting unexpected input.

 A google search for "weewx unknown archive type" found  two ancient threads here along the same lines:

https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/5G74MKZDnPQ from 2013

https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/lDTaXsUv2ww from 2021

[Tom Keffer]

1. The "Copied 0 files" log entry is normal. Static files such as CSS files are copied only the first time reports are run. Thereafter, they are nore copied.

2. The "Unknown archive type" is more serious. We have seen these occasionally through the years. Sometimes clearing the memory works, but usually it does not. Another thing to try is pulling the logger out of the console, then reseating it. It's also possible that the logger went bad. It is not a problem with your weewx.conf file. This is a hardware problem.

@Tom,

It is not the first time that weewx users are asking about the "Copied 0 files" log message appearing at every archive interval.

Since the copy procedures are done mostly after the first time reports are run,  why not logging these events  only when files are actually copied,   and forget  the "Copy 0 files" ( or change the log notification to debug)  in case no files are copied.

[Tom Keffer]

Good suggestion. Implemented in 0768bf4, to appear in V5.3.

Dear colleagues!
Thanks for the tips.
I will try to bring the weather station to the laboratory next week and study it in more detail.
I will write about the results of the check of the weather station.

By the time the error appears, the download is 66% complete.

What is the reason for the error? 

пятница, 13 февраля 2026 г. в 08:03:54 UTC+3, ANDREI ROZWADOWSKI:

[John Smith]

try pinging weewx.com

if that works try using curl or lynx to browse the website from your server.

If that works change your apt sources from http:// to https://

https://weewx.com/ is pinging normally

The link http://weewx.com/apt/python3 is opened automatically after I enter the command
$sudo apt-get install weewx

I can't change http;// on https://

[John Smith]

I can't change http;// on https:// 

You would have added a config in /etc/apt/source.list.d/ at some point, most ;likely weewx.list, try editing that file to change http:// to https://

sudo apt install /home/pi/Documents/python3-weewx_5.3.1-1_all.deb

Tell me, is it critical which version of Raspbian I use?

среда, 4 марта 2026 г. в 17:47:54 UTC+3, John Smith:

[Vince Skahan]

Any recent Raspbian works.

Just try the official commands from the Debian quickstart again please.

# 1. install prerequisites
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y wget gnupg

# 2. tell the os to trust the weewx gpg keys
wget -qO - https://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo gpg --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/weewx.gpg

# 3. tell the os where to find the weewx packages

echo "deb [arch=all] https://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list

# 4. update the os to know what is in the weewx repository

sudo apt update

# 5.install weewx
sudo apt install weewx

Running 'sudo apt update' both times is very important to do.

[ANDREI ROZWADOWSKI]

Vince,

Thanks for support.

I've installed weewx using your algorithm

The program's download was interrupted several times
I restarted it manually
Let's see how it works
I'll write about it later
