No DB or reports update

[John Walker]

Hi,

Amid some updates and other problem solving I now have no updates happening to the database nor the /var/www/html/weewx reports.

I could have butchered the config it a bit - is there a safe (retaining database) way to reinstall? Weewx.conf and syslog excerpt below.

Thanks,

JW

Simply stash a copy of your database and weewx.conf file and you can certainly delete everything else and start anew.

Reinstalling is a bit drastic without first seeing what the problem is. Despite a lengthy log extract we did not see the full WeeWX startup (didn't see anything covering the driver being loaded) nor did we see anything after WeeWX startup. How about posting another log extract showing the full WeeWX startup and a good 10-15 minutes after WeeWX has started (ie after the 'Starting main packet loop' log entry).

Hi Gary - many thanks. I captured a log file from startup for 10+ mins - see attached.

Below is service status report after the log capture.

I do have a reports copy to a network share that isn't working due to some permissions error - that is in the log file too.

Another permission denied issue. I'm guessing you are mounting a NAS or other network drive ?

The weewx user needs permission to write to wherever it's trying to write to.

Thanks for this.

So I changed owner to 'weewx' on /var/www/html/weewx folder and everything is working again now. Appreciate the help.

Only weird thing remaining is that on the webpage it has the below - with a WeeWX v5 upgrade should the skins not be updated as well?

WeeWX version
5.0.2
Skin
Seasons 4.9.1

[vince]

This one is a FAQ.  You have to update the skins.   Look again at the upgrade guide and a lot of previous threads here about that.
