Main loop exiting

[ried...@gmail.com]

Hello I have had a problem since updating to weewx 4.5.1. Weewx is no longer running. The following error appears in the log.

Apr 13 09:29:03 raspberrypi weewx[519] INFO weewx.engine: Main loop exiting. Shutting engine down.

Apr 13 09:29:03 raspberrypi weewx[519] CRITICAL __main__: Caught WeeWxIOError:

Apr 13 09:29:03 raspberrypi weewx[519] CRITICAL __main__:     ****  Waiting 60 seconds then retrying...

I use the HP1000 driver from https://github.com/AussieSusan/HP1000 I hope someone can help me.

I have now tried to reinstall the HP driver because the driver is not in the list. Unfortunately, I get an error message during the installation.

xxx@raspberrypi:~# wee_extension --install=/var/tmp/HP1000.tar.gz

You are on a pi trying to install something as a non-privileged user into a directory owned as root.

Try "sudo wee_extension --install=/var/tmp/HP1000.tar.gz" and see if that works.
