Station registry error (weewx 4.8.0)

[Devonian]

I've just made a fresh install on Ubuntu jammy and copied my sqlite db across to the 'clean' weewx 4.8.0 install (setup.py).

I have set the register_this_station to true in weewx.conf.

I now see this on every 5 minute record update in the log...

ERROR weewx.restx: StationRegistry: Failed to publish record 2022-09-20 ... BST (1663693800): Failed upload after 3 tries

The date/time is obviously different for each new record.

If I set register-this-station to false, the error goes away..

Why is weewx attempting to publish a record to the station registry website?

Possible bug?

What did you use as a key for your station? That is, what is option "station_url"? I'll check if everything is OK on my end.

Hi Tom,

I have in weewx.conf...

station_url = www.nthead.co.uk/weewx

Bizarely, checking the logs again this morning, I don't see the error, the last error was around 01:20 UK local time.

I hadn't touched anything as was out all last night and sound asleep when the last error was logged.

It is a completely 'vanilla' install of weewx and only a couple of lines tweaked in weewx.conf to suit my reporting.

I have just restarted the weewx service and the error is occuring again (10:30hrs UK local time) - what goes on here?

You are missing the http:// from the start of your url.
It should be ...
station_url = http://www.nthead.co.uk/weewx

I just tried dropping the http:// on mine and sure enough, same error...

ERROR weewx.restx: StationRegistry: Failed to publish record

2022-09-21 20:03:00 AEST (1663754580): Failed upload after 3 tries

Good catch Glenn, changed mine and fine now.

I should have figured that for myself and checked my old weewx.conf but so often nowadays the http:// or https:// is dropped in favour of the simpler www....
