Hi all.  Had issues with my weather station the other day and after fixing, weewx will no longer start.  Here is what I get in the syslog when I try to start it.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Somehow your daily summaries got messed up. In your activities, do you recall whether you touched the database?

The fix is to drop, then rebuild them.

wee_database --drop-daily
wee_database --rebuild-daily

Hi and thank you for your reply!  

As I was fixing the weather station, I created some bogus values and I tried to delete that information by doing a 
delete from archive where dateTime > 1620190917

I did what you suggested above and restarted weewx and am still getting the similar error.

For some reason, the daily summaries did not get dropped and rebuilt.

Can you do it again, but this time include the log for wee_database?

Just tried to rerun and noticed that it gave me a "Error 'attempt to write a readonly database'"  so I added a sudo and now it is running.  This is gonna take a while
