Can't make my Klimalogg PRO work with weewx

[Nenad Dragic]

Hi,

I have just tried to set up my RPI up for 5 time, and still no luck.

Issues:
Is not reading from my Klimalogg PRO 30.3039.IT V11
No folder: /var/www/html/weewx

Here is what I my device info and what I am doing, step my step:

# Checked this changes:
#Installing this extension will make the following changes to weewx.conf:

#Change wx_binding to kl_binding.  Klimalogg works best with its own schema,
#not the wview schema that is the default for weewx.  This requires changing
#the data binding from wx_binding to kl_binding in two places, the StdReport
#and StdArchive sections
# OK:)

#Remove the [Simulator] driver section if it exists.

#Remove the [[StandardReport]] section of [StdReport] if it exists.  The
#KlimaLogg is not a 'standard' weather station, so the graphs and reports
#in skin Standard will not work properly.
# OK:)

A few comments and suggestions:

• Please 'attach' logs and screen grabs as text files rather than including images.  We can't grep for things in screen grabs.
• Your pi uses systemd so /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog is replaced by systemd.  If you want traditional logging do "sudo apt-get install -y rsyslog" to install a syslog daemon that writes to the legacy places.
• You seem to be running as a very non-standard likely unprivileged user.  Try prefacing your commands such as wee_device with "sudo" and see if that helps.
• Try running "sudo weewxd" interactively and see what that reports

Just for the record, vince: I don't see images but only text.
