Weewx and Belchertown skins

[Luc Theoret]

Hi all,

This may have answered already but I can't get the belchertown skins to work, I must be doing something wrong.

Below is my weewx config for the skins. I get all the bae graphs I get belchertown sub directory but no index.html anywhere except in the belchertown sub directors but those are blank.

If I enable Standard skins I get the usual default web page, but if I set to false I get no web page except for the usual month, year .... I have been scratching my head. I have 2 weeks worth of test data. still logging to date. 

Help.

Standard answer. Please post your log with debug=1 set, from the period where weewx starts to one or two archive periods through when it runs the reports.

You might also just run wee_reports manually if you don't want to wait 5 minutes for the normal runs triggered by the weewx daemon.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response.

Added the line = "enable = true" as per rich T

Than ran wee_reports after restating weewx, see screen apcture:

This is running on a new linux debian buster inside a virtual box.

But like I mentioned earlier all the default stuff work great.

The database is on MySQL on a windows server. the data is being captured by a Raspberry Pi using SDR RTL_4xx.

My weather station is not mounted yet, it is happily capturing data in my basement.

Hi All,

More update.

The log says it copied 31 files to belchertown. but I only see 5.

But when I list the belchertown directory, this is what I get.

and where is it copied from?

Regards,

LTheoret

Hi,

Figured out how to use tail.

Attached is the output of the weewx run using "sudo wee_reports /ect/weewx/weewx.conf"

see attached file.

Depending on the Acurite console you have, might need to set the USB Mode to 3 or 4.
