I am trying to re create my Weewx on a new server. I am having the hardest time. When I make changes to the weewx.conf, restart service and run sudo weewx_reports none of my changes take affect. What am I missing?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but any particular reason why you're running both weewxd and wee_reports? Usually, it's one or the other.

And, you're running both the Seasons report and the Belchertown report, albeit to different directories. Is that your intention?

Finally, when you say, "none of my changes take affect" what changes are you referring to? The change from the old system? Adding something to the new system?

Remote debugging is tough, so it helps to be very explicit about what you mean, and to supply lots of information.

I started with a fresh install.

My intention is to only use belchertown skin. How do I disable the others?

None of the changes i make in the weewx.conf for belchertown skin take affect.

IE: powered_by = "WeatherFlow"

this never shows on the skin:

See the documentation. Basically, you set option "enable" to false:

[[SeasonsReport]]
# The SeasonsReport uses the 'Seasons' skin, which contains the
# images, templates and plots for the report.
skin = Seasons
enable = false

Did you install the skin using wee_extension --install ?

I recall having that look once a while back.

I think I did this to correct it.

If it wasn't, no harm done if they are available for your Pi.

It looks like pyephem or if python3, python3-ephem aren't installed in the second screenshot.

Just wondering why you wish to return to v 1 though.

Anyway, give these a try.

sudo apt-get -y install libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libjpeg-dev

Hello Ron,

Did you follow the instructions at https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown/tree/development#belchertown-skin-as-default-skin?

You should view with the URL: http://10.0.0.181, not /var/www/html as some references to CSS or JavaScript might not resolve correctly.

Check the timestamp of index.html in /var/www/html which should be updated after each archive interval when reports are run:

$ ls -l /var/www/html/index.html

Also, check the document root location of your webserver Apache or Nginx.

Hope this helps,

-Bill

I don’t want 1.0. I just tried to install to try and troubleshoot things.

Stick with the current version and troubleshoot it. It is different and the time spent will be useful.

I got it to work. Had to reinstall PHP.

I extended my database to include :

schema_extended = schemas.wview.schema + [('appTemp', 'REAL'), ('windrun', 'REAL'), ('lightning_strikes', 'REAL'), ('avg_distance', 'REAL'), ('maxSolarRad', 'REAL'),('lightningYYY', 'REAL'), ('lightningZZZ', 'REAL')]

I followed all of the instructions here:
