wee_config not working

[Ellastonepaul]

Hi,

I am setting up Weewx on a Raspberry-pi. Followed Download (3.9.2) and Install instructions using setup-py. and started with Simulator as Station. Eventually got it to run in the Browser (Despite no public_html file..I finally tracked it to skins/Standard !) 

 I would now like to "Reconfigure" it for my Bresser station.  Following instructions I should be able to use wee_config --reconfigure but all I get is "command not found". I have checked Permissions and all are OK. 

Looking at the file wee_config I now see line

14 usage = """Usage: wee_config --help

15 etc

16 etc

17     wee_config --reconfigure  etc etc

and line 51 & 52

51   --altitude     --location

52   """

In other words this section has been commented out!  Why?  I have removed the " marks but it still is not recognised

Have I missed something....or.......?

Also I believe (hope!) that the Bresser 6-in-1 Art No 7002570 will run under the FineOffetUSB driver.  I see there have been some discussions on this unit but is there anything definitive?

See if  ./wee_config works better.

1. The files in Skins/Standard are the templates, not the final HTML files. The HTML files will appear in /home/weewx/public_html. If they did not, then you need to send the log. See Help! Posting to weewx-user for how to get a useful log. 

2. Unless you are a Python programmer, do not alter the file wee_config. The string you posted is used internally in wee_config to show the "usage" hints if you ask for help. 

wee_config --help

3. See the Wiki article Understanding paths. It may help you understand why your command did not run.

Many thanks for your most useful comments. Clearly I have some setting problems and your guidance would be appreciated.  I have spent the last few days un installing and re installing Weewx repeatedly  as per the Guidance notes, but still the same issues.

1. No public-html folder created. I have  therefore followed your guidance notes and a Log is at https://pastebin.com/zUrEaHqW 

2  Point taken as regards altering files!

3. I have read and tried the various options, as per The Path Guidance Notes but still the same issues, command not found, although the file is clearly there.

I do hope you can identify just where it is going wrong.....and thanks again for your assistance.
