I think my Ubuntu system tried to update my WeeWx 4.10.2 installation and had an issue.  I notice that there is a new generic 5.0 configuration file in my /etc/weewx directory.  However, I don't think my installation file was updated to version 5.  I tried to use wee_config --version to determine my version number, but the system does not seem to be able to locate wee_config.   It has been so long since I setup WeeWx that I do not know if I am doing something wrong when I issue the command.  I am using:  

sudo wee_config --version. 

However, when I try this now it cannot find wee_config

Any help would be appreciated.

Read the upgrade guide and at least a dozen posts from others who didn’t do so either. The commands changed.

Thanks for your quick reply.    I went to the Upgrade guide and I now see that the commands changed and the new commands are working. 

I have another question.  After the upgrade WeeWx is using my prior configuration file which I think is the default.  However, my current file shows version 4.10.2.  Should I manually edit my config file to show the current version.  I notice that the standard webpage in 192.168.../weewx is still showing version 4.10.2.

Thanks for your help,

Fred

Again, asked and answered a hundred times here.  The version in weewx.conf shows what you 'started' with, so no. Leave it alone. Weewx pulls its version that it logs from the code itself.

Thanks, I missed that.
