Ok, I'm still fighting issues here but thought I'd start a new thread...

Currently using envoy with brand new datalogger. I'd recently purchased it to replace what I thought was a bad datalogger but I'm no longer sure the old one was bad since I ran into the same issue with this one in that the main index.html froze on a past date and was not getting updated.

Yesterday I had the index.html stop updating. I noticed it today and when I got home I did the following....

weewx stop

wee_device --info ( everything looked good )

wee_device --start

weewx start the archive records were downloaded to current time and I expected the web page to get updated.

The current information on the left ( widget group ) is updated, however the imbedded .png files are not updating on the main index.html. The png files are being written to /var/www/html/weewx but the information is not being updated.

The interesting thing is that the /smartphone images ARE being updated and are current.

Any ideas??

They look OK from my end. Did you update the cache in your browser?

I did clear the cache on Chrome. I even opened IE that I haven't used in over a year and tried it but you're right, it's working now... LOL, I don't know what happened.

Could it take a while to update the png images?

Another silly question, what would cause the updates to stop like that? It ran for a weekend with the new data logger attached to the console. I moved the data logger to the envoy and in less than 24 hours it froze and stopped updating. I did a weewx stop, wee_device --start , weewx start to get it going again. I did not --clear-memory. I think there's still an issue here I'm trying to find...

I guess I don't understand the problem. When I look at your website, http://www.deadduck.net/weather/, I see the last update at 07:05 AM, which is now (assuming you're on MST time). All of the images show 07:05.

Looks fine to me.

Ok, let me start over. It's working properly now and it worked properly for 2 days then froze, the page was stuck with on the previous day and time. The images were being written but the data was not updating.

I did the following....

weewx stop

wee_device --info

wee_device --start

weewx start

After this the data was pulled from the data logger as expected but for something like 2 hours the png files were not updated for the base index.html file, even though the images for the /mobilephone were being updated. after some time, over an hour, the images started to be updated with no further action from me. If it just takes a while for it to get caught up I'm good, however I don't understand why I keep getting the page frozen on a day/time. This is what started the whole debugging process before and caused me to think the data logger was bad.

When I ran on the console bypassing the datalogger with the following in the weewx.conf it ran without freezing but that was only while I was waiting for the new datalogger so only a couple days.

record_generation = software

no_catchup = True

When I opened this post the png images were not updating, but now they are and have been for a day.

What could cause the base page to keep from updating and it seems that a wee_device --start fixes? I'm wondering if there may be an issue with the envoy I'm using now that could cause it to stop updating that would need a --start?

what browser are you using?? I have found recently that microsoft edge seems to have entered a world of its own and now appears to require frequent forced refresh of pages to get the png's to update (Using shift/ refresh) This has been happening for the past 2-3 weeks and was never needed before.

I was using Chrome, but I haven't had this issue again.... I don't believe this is a Weewx issue but was hoping there was someone that had seen this type of symptom before. We'll see if it happens again....
