I'm starting from scratch with a new Rasp Pi 4, Debian OS, and installed the newest version of WeeWx with the method that placed the bulk of the files in the /etc/weewx directory, not the /home one.

I have found the 0.5 release of the Rainwise IP100 driver and ran the program to add an extention, and found it listed in the weewx.config file as the driver.  I've edited the .config file to include the IP address that the IP100 is on my system, but get an error when I try to start weewxd.

Before posting more info and asking questions I'm trying to learn more by exploring the possible errors myself.  I want to verify that the IP100 driver did get loaded in the right place, but cannot find it snooping around in the various bin areas.

Maybe it is elsewhere? Maybe it didn't get loaded as I thought it did.  So to start with, may I ask where I should check to see if all the driver software got loaded?

Hi,

You might want to start here. User supplied drivers are typically placed in what is referred to in the link I attached as the User directory.

The log is your friend, it will tell you what WeeWX is doing and what error is being encountered. When posting the log more is better.
