Weewx error when posting to wunderground

[Dave]

Hi,

I note that there have been issues before with getting Weewx to post to the Weather Underground, however I can't spot my particular issue.
I have moved from the widows based Cumulus software, to Linux based Weewx, driven mainly by the switch off of support for XP.  I am therefore cutting my teeth on Linux as well as with weewx.  Having said that I have got the software working with my website, with WOW, but not with wunderground.  I have transfered my account details from the previously working Cumulus and have rechecked this several times.  However, the updates to Wunderground are not getting through and the system log records the following issue -

restx: Wunderground-PWS: bad login; waiting 60 minutes then retrying

I've had a good look around the various forums and I believe I have covered everything on the subject in the manual, but no joy.

Any suggestions on what the problem might be please?

BTW, weewx is looking to be great fun to play with and many thanks to those involved in its creation.

Many thanks,
Dave

 It is more than likely a typing error in your credentials to Wunderground in weewx.conf

try and delete the lines and re-enter them in case you have somehow got a non printing character in there!

I am getting the same error as Dave. I am sure the user/password are correct as they work with my other station using perl scripts. I did re-enter the information per Andrew's suggestion so I don't think it is that.  I also noticed the error of unable to shut down the thread. This may be part of the issue as well.

I am using weewx 2.6.2 with 1wire hardware and OWFS.

After checking it about 100 times and looking at it over a couple of days, I finally figured out what the problem at my station was. My station is KNYVICTO5, not KNYVICT05. Perhaps you have the same issue? Mine is working fine now.

I had a similar one many months ago .... it really is time that all fonts put a slash in their digit zeroes (or alpha ohs) but to have oh and zero so similar is a recipe for disaster!  I am sure the older I get the more similar they become -- or maybe that is just fanciful imagination ...

Indeed, I even followed your advise and retyped them, wrong of course. The slashes would be welcome.
