updated to 5.0.1 still no joy

[Rich Strle]

I've been following the 5.0 issues. I have updated to 5.0.1 and done the usermod but I'm still having issues. RaspberryPi 3 B+ My Vantage Pro is connected via ethernet using the IP adaptor. I appreciate all the work that's gone into this free product.

Can't help with such minimal log data and no info from your weewx.conf file driver section for the driver you're using.   What os+version are you running ?

What is the weewx pi's address ?  What is an 'ip adaptor' ?  What is its address ? Can you ping it from the weewx pi ?  If you stop/start weewx 'after' your network is stable does 'that' work ?

[Tom Keffer]

Rich, 

One other question: does this happen after a reboot? Or, every time? 

If it's only after a reboot, the problem could be that the network isn't ready by the time the VP2 needs it.

Hi Tom, it happens every time. Attached is a log of what happened when I turned off the Pi, restarted the Pi, shut down weewx, and restarted weewx. 

I running a fresh RasberryPi Debian install. Vantage Pro2 with a WeatherLinkIP attached to a  VantagePro2 console.

Attached is what happened with my most recent boot and the log file.

[Tom Keffer]

Something to try: edit the weewx service file and change permissions back to root. The service file should be located at /lib/systemd/system/weewx.service. Comment out the User and Group lines. When you're done, it will look something like this:

[Service]

ExecStart=weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

StandardOutput=null

StandardError=journal+console

RuntimeDirectory=weewx

RuntimeDirectoryMode=775

# User=weewx

# Group=weewx

Then restart weewxd.

Let us know if that makes a difference.

Why not start as root then drop privileges, it would solve a lot of the permission problems people are having

I was having a no start problem after upgrading RPi3B running DietPi. I tried Tom's suggestion and it fixed the problem.

Prior to the "fix" my log file showed:

After updating DietPi to version 9.1.1

I am getting GPIOzero BadPinFactory errors again. I tried commenting out the weewx user in the service file as above, but the error remains.

You're going to need to share your weewx.conf file for this one.

You have to be referencing gpio stuff somewhere under the hood.

Running 'weectl extension list' would help explain your setup too....

[Glen N]

Thanks,

I got it to run again, by restarting weewx???

I will keep an eye on it and it if plays up again come back for help.
