Hi
I have trouble strating weewx.
I got it working on november 15th 2020 an it has been working continuously until june 20 2024.
I saw the halt about a week later.
What I did since:
Server: Vitual server on KVM with Ubuntu 24.04 Hostname weewx
Installed with apt (package weewx/buster,now 5.1.0-4 all [installed])
Weatherstation: Froggit 3000 SE PRO
Weatherstation is:
DB: MariaDB
When I start weewx I get the following log:

------------- log ends ---------------
As you can see there is a rights issue with driver (listen on port 80 as expected) and server.
I stoped both webserver but the result is the same.
I have checked file rights but I don't have the knowledge to determine if they are right. All files in /usr/share/weewx are owned by root:root and read rights for others.
I have installed a test on an other server with ver. 5.1.0 but it uses root as running user!
I have trouble strating weewx.
I got it working on november 15th 2020 an it has been working continuously until june 20 2024.
I saw the halt about a week later.
What I did since:
- - Updated the server to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and with that the weewx has been updated to 5.1
- - I have checked that the files and folders for weewx has changed ownership to weewx user and group as the user running weewx has changed
- - weewx.conf is OK - like I edited it from the start
Server: Vitual server on KVM with Ubuntu 24.04 Hostname weewx
Installed with apt (package weewx/buster,now 5.1.0-4 all [installed])
Weatherstation: Froggit 3000 SE PRO
Weatherstation is:
- setup with 4 extra temparature sensors
- setup to push data to weewx by IP
- Lighttp are configured to port 80
- Apache2 are configured to port 88 - apache is running on port 80 - cant find that config

to weewx-user
the weewx user does not have permission to listen on port 80
see the "Understanding permissions" article for options, specifically the "How to fix network permissions" section:
