Cannot display the time correctly

[Yannick M]

 Hello, I am so sorry to bother you for this. This is the first time that I have made a site under debian, I tried to find the answer in the weewx and group docs but I didn’t find something that works. 

My problem is simple. Currently the date is displayed this way:

 October 1, 2020, 4.44 pm I would like it to become: October 1, 2020, 16:44 . 

I use the belchertown skin, I have to pay [[[[TimeFormats]]]] day =% H:% M week =% H:% M on% A month =% d-% b-% Y% H:% M year =% d-% b-% Y% H:% M rainyear =% d-% b-% Y% H:% M current =% d-% b-% Y% H:% M ephem_day =% H:% M ephem_year =% d-% b-% Y% H:% 

 But it doesn't work anyway, do you have an idea please?  

How to change the order, put to 12h> 24h and translate the months in french please?

Best regards

type man date

 in a console.

I assume the variables are the same in belchertown.

If you type this in a console:

date '+%Y/%m/%d %A %H:%M %b '

You get this:

2020/10/01 Thursday 13:34 Oct 

Upper case %B gives the full name of the month.

Also type locale in a console

This will show you if you are using the local French local and that should convert the Months (%b) into French

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Use the above if the locale is wrong.

Maybe that will work for you.I haven't tried it.

Thank you very much! With this command line I could actually see that the time was in English on the server. Thanks to the sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales command, I was able to select French. 

 After stopping and restarting weewx, the changes do not apply, do you have to restart something else? Thanks a lot for your help!

Maybe this might help.

i have seen this explanation on the belchertown tutorial before, but i dont see how it applied. I am used to building websites but this is my first time working on debian, and my skills are limited.

After rebbot of the serveur and reboot of wewx...it works !! Many thanks!!

[Greg from Oz]

After I answered you it was late and I thought you should reboot the server even later in the night.

Glad it worked.

My motto is " if in doubt bomb it out" (reboot)
