No updates to /var/www/html/weewx

[Philip Wolff]

I'm configured for reports using the Seasons skin and data publishing to CWOP and Wunderground.

After updating from  4.10.2 to 5.0.1, I'm seeing the following in the systemd journal every 5 minutes:

Feb 06 12:10:17 inspiron weewxd[680]: INFO weewx.manager: Added record 2024-02-06 12:10:00 PST (1707250200) to database 'weewx.sdb'

No mention of report generation, and the Seasons data displayed in Firefox hasn't changed since I installed the update.

What could I have done to cause this?

Impossible to say what the issue is with such a short log extract. Please edit weewx.conf, set debug =1, save weewx.conf and restart WeeWX. Let WeeWX run for at least two archive intervals and then take a log extract showing the full WeeWX startup through until the two archive intervals have elapsed. Post the log extract here.

It thinks that the skins are still in /etc/weewx instead of /usr/share/weewx.

So WeeWX cannot find the Seasons skin.conf, what is the contends of /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons? 

Also, you seem to be truncating some of the log lines, it would help if we could see the rest of the line:

Feb 06 13:25:15 inspiron weewxd[692]: DEBUG weewx.reportengine: Cannot read skin configuration file /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/skin.conf for report 'SeasonsReport':>
Feb 06 13:25:15 inspiron weewxd[692]: DEBUG weewx.reportengine: Cannot read localization file /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/lang/en.conf for report 'SeasonsReport': Co>

For info, a package install has the skins directory in /etc/weewx, it has never been in /usr/share/weewx, refer to Where to find things in the User's Guide.

The Ubuntu package for weewx 5.0.1-3 installs a ton of stuff, including the skins data, in /usr/share/weewx.

/etc/weewx/skins contains three empty folders: font, lang, and NOAA.

I copied /usr/shared/weewx/weewx_data/skins to /etc/weewx/skins and veriified that Seasons/skin.conf is there. I restarted weewxk and it still claims that it can't read Seasons/skin.conf.

I can't see anything obviously wrong. WeeWX is looking in the right place and the .conf files exist. read only permission is fine. Let me see if I can replicate this, what Ubuntu version?

Gary

[Tom Keffer]

Yes, it's true that there is a copy of the v5.0 skins in /usr/share/weewx/weewx_data/skins. This is what Python calls "package data." It is used by "weectl station create" to create a new station data area. weectl copies it over from its obscure location to the new station data. It is not intended to be used by the user, mostly because it's buried so deep in the Python library. 

As for why weewxd cannot read a file which is plainly there, the only thing I can think of is that the intervening directories in /etc/weewx/skins are not giving it permission. Check that they are all owned by user "weewx", and have 644 permissions

Not sure what caused this, but I would guess it's because Debian is treating the skins as config files, which it deleted on the upgrade. Matthew would know more about this. It would help if you have the original upgrade commands and response from apt.

I used Synaptic for the upgrade, so I don't have the commands that were used. The version shown in Synaptic is 5.o.1-3.

Typo. The version is 5.0.1-3.

I'm running weewx on a laptop that my wife rejected because it couldn't keep up with her typing. I think maybe whatever was causing her lags may also have lagged something in the file system that caused the file movement to be invisible until after the reboot. I've a new laptop on order...
