Weewx working fine for months after upgrade to latest version and Seasons skin then all of a sudden on Thur (12/12) at 7am the index.html file stopped updating. However the pngs are being updated and are current (so in reality when uploaded to the website are showing correct date - it's just the time and date that are incorrect.)

Raspberry Pi - Running Jessie

Weewx v3.9.2

Skin Seasons

Now I see the index.temp.html appear briefly on the pi but then disappear. Here are the relevant part of the logs I believe. Note that this error didn't occur at the 06:55 page generation.

Any one any ideas what is causing this or how to debug any further?

(Please note that from my googling the line Dec 12 07:00:23 localhost rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 17' suspended, next retry is Thu Dec 12 07:01:53 2019 [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 I think is related to log rotation and was happening before this incident started)

TIA

The rsyslogd thing is not related to anything weewx, it's just a longstanding os annoyance that has been around for years.

Cheetah explosions are painful to figure out for sure. Best guess is you have some unexpected or missing data that it can't figure out how to do unit conversions on.

In addition to Vince's comments, I would add that the problem is most likely in the file /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/sensors.inc. Did you change anything in there?

Thanks Thomas.

Yes I did alter it (to add a UV sensor) on 14th July.

So not sure why it finally gave up the ghost on 12th Dec!

I have re-instated your original sensors.inc and it has started working again (albeit without the UV sensor). .

Well at least it gives me something to do over Xmas to work out why it went wrong!

Thanks for the help.

If you are interested the sensors.inc that broke it is as follows:-

## sensors module for weewx skins

## Copyright Tom Keffer, Matthew Wall

## See LICENSE.txt for your rights

#errorCatcher Echo

## this is a conditional display of sensor data, including connectivity,

## battery status, and various voltages. if there are no data available,

## then this degenerates to nothing displayed.

#def get_battery_status($x)

#if $x == 0

#else

#end if

#end def

## first see what sensor data are available

#set $have_conn = 0

#for $x in [$day.rxCheckPercent]

#if $x.has_data

#set $have_conn = 1

#end if

#end for

#set $have_battery_status = 0

#for $x in [$day.txBatteryStatus, $day.windBatteryStatus, $day.rainBatteryStatus, $day.outTempBatteryStatus, $day.inTempBatteryStatus, $day.uvBatteryStatus]

#if $x.has_data

#set $have_battery_status = 1

#end if

#end for

#set $have_voltage = 0

#for $x in [$day.consBatteryVoltage, $day.heatingVoltage, $day.supplyVoltage, $day.referenceVoltage]

#if $x.has_data
