Weewx fails to start

For some unknown reason my weather station is no longer updating - which must be due to weewx having failed somehow. When I restart my Raspberry Pi, to try to reset things, I get the following:

weewx.service - LSB: weewx weather system

Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/weewx; generated; vendor preset: enabled)

Anyone know what is going on please?

Many Thanks

Some sort of PYTHONPATH problem I would imagine, but we need more information.

What version of WeeWX?

What's in your /etc/init.d/weewx?

What version of RaspberryPi OS?

Assuming a reasonably recent version, why not use a systemd service file?

If all else fails, set debug=1, restart weewxd, post the log.

Thanks, Tom.

Weewx is version 4.10.2

/etc/init.d/weewx contains a lot of code. The path section is:

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

WEEWX_BIN=/usr/bin/weewxd

WEEWX_CFG=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf

WEEWX_USER=root:root

DESC="weewx weather system"

NAME=weewx

PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid

My RPi is Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3. I am running it under quite an old Raspbian version - "Stretch".

Sorry - how do I use a systemd service file?

Thanks

David.

Sorry, but we're going to have to see the entire file. We need to see how weewxd is invoked.

One more question: what did you modify? Any reason you can think of why it stopped working?

No problem.

I don't think I modified anything, My weather website stopped working when I was on holiday. The last valid graph entry is 20 August 2024 at 5pm -but not sure my syslog files go back that far to check what happened.

I should add, when I start weewx, I get:

[....] Starting weewx (via systemctl): weewx.service==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org. freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to start 'weewx.service'.

failed!

Does that helpo diagnose the problem. I never remember being asked for identity before. I am not sure I know the root password (dumb, I know).

A favor. Please post the entire file. Don't cut and paste, just include the file. It's hard to get the full picture from the little pieces.

I would also strongly advise that you upgrade from stretch. It hasn't been supported in years. Your RPi 3 is more than capable of running a modern version of RPi OS.

OK. No problem. It is attached. I renamed it to weewx_init. It is called weewx on my Pi.

Noted re upgrading. Nervous about losing data etc.

I'm sorry, but there are too many moving parts here. The problem depends on your environment, /etc/default/weewx, what's in /usr/bin/weewxd, the location of the other weewx files, etc.

Something changed on your system. You're going to have to track it down.

Here's what I would do: get a second SD card (less than $10). Install the latest RPi OS on it. Install WeeWX v5 on it.

Then copy over the database (located under /var/lib/weewx) and the skins (located under /etc/weewx) from the old card. Or, copy from your backup. No chance of losing any data.

It was all going so well....I did as you suggested - first copied all my old weewx files to a USB drive on the Pi, bought a new SD card, installed the latest Raspbian OS (Bookworm) and got my shiny new SD card running fine. I then installed weewx and it started weewx up as expected and began populating the empty database from 4 Sept on. Then I tried to stop weewx so I could copy across the old database with all my history from 2016 onwards. For some bizarre reason I couldn't get the stop command to work, as per below extract:

xxxxx@weatherpi:/etc $ sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop
sudo: /etc/init.d/weewx: command not found

Am I being dumb? Any reason why this shouldn't work?

Thanks

David.

With the introduction of systemd, WeeWX no longer uses System V style /etc/init.d scripts. Instead, it uses systemd "service" files.

With systemd, you restart weewx with

sudo systemctl restart weewx

See the section Running as a daemon in the User's Guide.

Hi - after a long gap, I am now trying to get my weather website working again. As per earlier messages in this chain, I did eventually get weewx working on a brand new OS install on my RPi, with my previous 9 year historical weewx database copied over. As far as I can tell, weewx seems to be working OK, as it is adding records to the database, although I still seem to get ip-read errors from time to time. Here is an extract from the log:

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? I am wondering if it is a PATH related problem, but am not sure. I did successfully download the skin gz file, but maybe I put it in the wrong place or something. Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

"Path /home/david/weewx-belchertown-x.x.tar.gz" does not exist is a pretty clear error message. Look at that directory for what your actual filename is. It is unlikely that x.x is in the filename, if there's a file there at all.

So after correcting this daft error, I managed to download the belchertown skin. Before the problems occured last September, I was successfully using this skin for my weather website. I had retained the skin.conf files (both the main one and the belchertown one) so I copied the relevant parts to the new weewx conf files. I also copied over the sftp conf file, as I use sftp to transfer files to my webserver.

However, upon restarting weewx with the belchertown skin enabled, I seem to get some errors related to sftp. An extract from the log file is below. Not sure if the difficulty in finding user.sftp is connected at all to the earlier message in the log about not finding the en.conf file?

Any suggestions as to what might be going wrong would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

David.

1. The SFTP extension may not be installed.

2. The key belchertown_locale is missing in section [Extras] of skin.conf.

Many thanks. Will try correcting these.

Corrected these, but then some further errors occured, which seem to be related to the report generator. I am using the belchertown skin and the latest version of weewx. The error seems connected with "radar_width". I have searched the weewx-user group for similar problems, but can't find anything. My log is below, from the beginning of restarting weewx. weewx keeps running after this error, and seems to run sftp OK, but I think the report generator error means that no useful reports are run. Any help diagnosing the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

David.

It looks far better than before. If you read the syslog messages carefully you find that the key radar_width in section [Extras] is the next one that is missing. You can do this step by step without posting every step here. Look for the key that is mentioned in the logs and add it to skin.conf, then wait for the next archive cycle to pass. If I see it right you need not restart WeeWX for this.
