hello everybody,

Are we required to install "Venv" for version 5.2?

thanks for all

The short answer is no. The longer answer is no, you don't install it, it's part of Python. But you might need/want to use it. It depends on which method you're using and which environment you're installing into.

Up until now (I'm on version 5.1); I've done without it and I only have weewx on my RPi.

See https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.2/usersguide/installing/#installation-methods for the various methods.   If you have 5.1 installed and are using the debian installation, you can easily upgrade to 5.2 if you wish.  See https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.2/quickstarts/debian/#upgrade for how to do that.

thanks Vince,

this a new installation on a RPi with a Hat BC Robotics.

And I installed also Trixies.

I'll do as usual; I haven't mastered Venv yet.

If you are using a Sqlite database, you should have no problems with the default install of weewx 5.2, which does not require a venv. However, I had been thinking about switching to using Mariadb (~= MySQL) on a local networked server and found that this required (at least on my Pi running the Trixie version of Raspios) that an additional library (pyMySQL, I think) be pip installed. The strong recommendation, if you are going to do this, is to use a venv and install the additional library in the venv. For now, I have used the deprecated pip flag to add the additional library to the base system, and everything seems to work, but anyone who uses a MySQL database with weewx and plans to upgrade needs to know this.

hello Peter,

I always intalled with Sqlite my versions of Weewx, I will continue with that.

Thanks for the informations with MariaDb.

bye

It also can use the MySQLdb module which I installed from from a deb package...

Hello, 

In the end, I installed Weewx on Trixies using PIP, so in a virtual environment, because normally I was having problems with certain modules (bme280).

 I managed to get it working. I can see the website locally on my Raspberry Pi with file:///home/patrick/weewx-data/public_html/index.html.

 But remotely; It's not working. In Firefox, I'm using: http://192.168.0.10/home/patrick/weewx-data/public_html.

 When I look at the Apache logs, I see: 192.168.0.6 - - [23/Nov/2025:13:11:36 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 490 "http://192.168.0.10/home/patrick/weewx-data/public_html/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:145.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/145.0".

 Here are my configurations; /home/patrick/weewx-data/weewx.conf (affected lines)

 [Station] # example, "http://" or "https://" station_url = http://192.168.0.10/home/patrick/weewx-data/public_html # The start of the rain year (1=January; 10=October, etc.).

 [StdReport] 

# Where the skins reside, relative to WEEWX_ROOT 

SKIN_ROOT = skins 

# Where the generated reports should go, relative to WEEWX_ROOT 

HTML_ROOT = public_html

 and in the apache config:

 /home/patrick/weex-data/util/apache/weewx.conf 

Alias ​​/weewx /home/patrick/weewx-data/public_html 

<Directory /home/patrick/weewx-data/public_html>

Options  FollowSymlinks

 AllowOverride None

 2 questions: where are apache logs located in venv environment? is my config good?

thanks

Patrick

Your apache logs are wherever your os puts them. Weewx in a venv does not alter anything apache does.

Based on the info you provided try http://192.168.0.10/weewx for your URL and see if that works.  That looks like it should work on your LAN if apache is set up correctly.

[salinois]

hello Vince,

OK for the logs apache2.

When I try with http://192.168.0.10/weewx, I have old data before I go
to venv !!!

Is my config apache false ?

Do you have an example with weewx on venv ?

I can send my apache config.

Patrick

[salinois]

so,

I send screen copy installation directories:

I left my Apache installation from before switching to venv, should I delete it?

thanks

Patrick

See https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Configure-a-web-server-(Apache,-NGINX-or-lighttpd) for some ways to integrate weewx with apache

[salinois]

Hello again, 

Just a clarification; on my previous installations, 

I always installed Apache2 using the Debian method: `apt install apache2`, which created the `/var/www/html` directory.

 After installing Weewx, there's `/var/www/html/weewx`.

 With a PIP installation, how should I proceed? Is there a specific order for installing Apache2.4?

 Because installing Weewx in `venv` created a `public_html` directory in `weewx-data`. 

Should I install Apache2 after installing Weewx?

I readed the document but I didn't found the base installation of apache and so in what order.

thanks

Patrick
