I have been trying out 5.0.0b1 to ensure that the weewx-`weather34 skin I maintain is compatible and have noticed an oddity when moving my existing weewx.sdb database file across.
I installed using the pip installer method which was impressively smooth, ran for a while with the simulator, then installed the GW1000 Gateway driver. I then made a copy of my existing database file, stopped the new install and moved the copy across, restarted.
On looking at the syslog, I noticed that there was an error writing to the database as the database file was reported as read only. At this point, I updated the ownership and permissions from the command line but got the same error report. I took another copy of the database file, same result. Eventually the only way I could get the database file into a writable condition was to use wee_database —drop-daily and —rebuild.
I have never had a problem of copying a mature database file across to a new installation before. It was doubly baffling as I assume that it would not be possible to use —drop-daily and —rebuild if the the database file was truly read only.

It would help if we could see the exact commands you were running, In particular, did you use an explicit path to a weewx.conf? What was in that configuration file?
Nothing has changed in the database file, but how it is found is different.

Thank you Tom,
I will be back home tomorrow evening and planning a fresh install on a clean OS so I will document as I go along and feedback.

Tom,
This is a complete report of the process I used
New development server up and running on RaspberryPi B+
For the sake of this exercise the user ID is igm
OS Raspberry PI OS Lite (64-Bit)installed applications: -
Webmin 2.021 (open source control panel-like appication)
Apache 2
installed WeeWX 5.0.0b1: -
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
installed WeeWX 5.0.0b1: -
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt -y install gcc
sudo apt -y install python3-dev
sudo apt -y install python3-pip
python3 -m pip install wheel
python3 -m pip install weewx --user
python3 -m pip install --upgrade ephem (the version of ephem that wheel installs 3.7.7.0 has a known bug, this upgrades to ephem 4.1.4)
cd /home/igm/.local
python3 ./weectl station create (selected simulator as driver and edited weewx.conf to set debug =2, HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx set in StdReport stanza. Complete weewx.conf at the foot of this posting)
cd ~/weewx-data
sudo
cp util/systemd/weewx.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable weewx
sudo systemctl start weewx
After the completion of the first achive cycle, Seasons skin created perfectly and subsequently updating every 5min
Next stage was to stop WeeWX on my main server and make a copy of my working database file
Stopped WeeWX on my development server, moved the working database file copy to my development server in place of the existing database file.
Next stage was to stop WeeWX on my main server and make a copy of my working database file
Stopped WeeWX on my development server, moved the working database file copy to my development server in place of the existing database file.
To match the ownership, group and permissions: -
cd /
sudo chown igm:igm /home/igm/weewx-data/archive/weewx.sdb
sudo chmod 644 /home/igm/weewx-data/archive/weewx.sdb
cd /
sudo chown igm:igm /home/igm/weewx-data/archive/weewx.sdb
sudo chmod 644 /home/igm/weewx-data/archive/weewx.sdb
(checked in my control panel that attributes had been changed correctly)
restarted weewx on the devlopment server and logged the below error messages
(I tried sudo chmod 777 but still got the same errors)
I stopped WeeWX again and tried: -
wee_database --update (but still the same errors on restart)
I then tried: -
wee_database --drop-daily
wee_database --rebuild
This combination then cleared the errors and the database started updating

restarted weewx on the devlopment server and logged the below error messages
(I tried sudo chmod 777 but still got the same errors)
I stopped WeeWX again and tried: -

I then tried: -

They do look the same.
I should have asked earlier, but how about the log from a case where it failed? Set debug=1, put the new database in place, run to failure. Post the log.
It is also possible that it's not using the database you think it's using.

I have to roll everything back to the state I had the development server in when the error occured. Its very late in the UK now so will do that tomorrow if that is OK?
Do you require the log of the entire 5min archive cycle or just the snippet of the error?

Not sure what you mean by that, Graham. Permissions on a sqlite database follow file permissions --- there's no special "update" permission like there is on MySQL. Or, do you mean something else?

That's true.
Ian: check the permissions and ownership of the parent directory, /home/igm/weewx-data/archive.
In the end, this problem will almost surely be due to some overlooked permissions issue.

Tom, Graham,
Yes that was the issue, with sqlite3, you have to change the permissions on the containing directory.
Armed with that information I have found a way which appears to be robust. Instead of copying the compressed file across from my main server, I crompressed the archive folder/contents, renamed the archive folder on my development server and extracted the compressed folder in its place. Did not even have to set any permissions as it took up the recursive permissions of the weewx-data folder. I have tried this a dozen times and it worked every time.
I wonder whether it is worth making a note of this in the documentation as I am sure I won't be last person wanting to move across an existing database file to a new install of WeeWX 5 when it is released.
As always thanks very much for your assistance.
Ian
Armed with that information I have found a way which appears to be robust. Instead of copying the compressed file across from my main server, I crompressed the archive folder/contents, renamed the archive folder on my development server and extracted the compressed folder in its place. Did not even have to set any permissions as it took up the recursive permissions of the weewx-data folder. I have tried this a dozen times and it worked every time.
I wonder whether it is worth making a note of this in the documentation as I am sure I won't be last person wanting to move across an existing database file to a new install of WeeWX 5 when it is released.
As always thanks very much for your assistance.

FWIW, sqlite3 needs write permissions to the directory because it writes certain (very) temporary files there during database write and update operations.
