I had weewx installed and working great with weewx-sftp and SteelSeriesGauges. It has worked just fine for a week or so now. This morning, I got up and saw that for some reason, the weather sensor quit communicating with the receiver. After I fixed that, SSG still kept showing that the station was offline, even though the Weather Underground data was updating like it should. I noticed in the logs that copygenerator and sftpgenerator were both copying 0 files. I had an issue before where SSG wasn't updating and after deleting the contents of that directory off my webserver, it worked fine again, so I tried that. I noticed that the directories [css] and [scripts] was copied back to my server, but none of the other files are.

I don't suppose anyone has any insight into this, maybe?

Here is an excerpt from the end of the system log:


Jul 20 21:05:20 raspberrypi weewx[25208]: manager: Added record 2019-07-20 21:05:00 UTC (1563656700) to database 'weewx.sdb'

If there is some other log I could look in or provide, please let me know.

This is the log with debug enabled

This might give a clue:

Jul 20 21:16:04 raspberrypi weewx[25469]: reportengine: Cannot read skin configuration file /etc/weewx/skins/skin.conf for report 'SteelSeries': Config file not found: "/etc/weewx/skins/skin.conf".

Are you sure your SteelSeries skin install is not corrupted? skin.conf are normally in a directory under /etc/weewx/skins not in /etc/weewx/skins itself.

That's odd... This is what is in my weewx.conf file:

    # Where the skins reside, relative to WEEWX_ROOT
    SKIN_ROOT = /etc/weewx/skins

    [[SteelSeries]]
        [[[CheetahGenerator]]]
            search_list_extensions = user.forecast.ForecastVariables
        skin = ss
        HTML_ROOT = public_html/ss

The skin.conf file is in /etc/weewx/skins/ss like it has been. I can open it and read it. I don't think I mentioned this, but I also tried restarting and stopping/starting the weewx service. That didn't help, either.

In this case hierarchy matters not indenting, try:

[[SteelSeries]]

skin = ss
HTML_ROOT = public_html/ss

[[[CheetahGenerator]]]
search_list_extensions = user.forecast.ForecastVariables
