Weewx has stopped working and I think it might be due to me recently upgrading via DEB.

When I look at the service status I get:

Nov 30 15:27:12 raspberrypi python2[487]: weewx[487] CRITICAL weewx.engine:     ****      return VantageService(engine, config_dict)

Nov 30 15:27:12 raspberrypi python2[487]: weewx[487] CRITICAL __main__:     ****  Exiting...

Any ideas what is causing the above please?  I opted to retain the existing weewx.conf file, as I use the belchertown skin (an old version of that, I think).

Many thanks

David.

What kind of logger does your Vantage have? If it's a weatherlinkIP, it's a network issue. Perhaps your upgrade closed a port?

Many Thanks for your prompt reply. 

Yes, it’s a WeatherLinkIP. What port would have been closed and how do I reopen it?

Thanks. 

David.

When I go into the WeatherLink software, and select Comms Port, Find it cannot find the device, so something is obviously wrong wi TV the basic set up.  Any ideas please?

Many Thanks

David.

Solved!!  I had to disconnect the Davis Console from power, remove the batteries, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the console, reconnect and repower. Then the router found the logger again and restarting weewx got it working again. Many thanks for your tip about the port.  

David.

It was no tip: it was right there in the error message.

Nov 30 15:27:12 raspberrypi python2[487]: weewx[487] CRITICAL __main__: Unable to load driver: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable
