New User trying Rpi Install with Errors

[Dennis Clark]

Trying to install on a new RP4. New to both the Rpi and Weewx so not sure where my error lies. Looking for some next steps.

After getting it installed and checking the syslog I get the following:

Aug 24 22:20:50 raspberrypi weewx[1853] CRITICAL weewx.engine:     ****    File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/drivers/vantage.py", line 1897, in __init__

Looks like your latitude line in weewx.conf is incorrect...

[Dennis Clark]

So yes, found I omitted the comma between latitude and longitude. Tried a new install with correctly added comma and now it apperas I may have it narrowed down to some sort of permissions error???

When I did a manual weeconfig --reconfigure to check things out it errors after entering the IP of my Weatherlink.

Any thoughts ?

Permission denied on a pi, for new pi users especially, is always the user forgetting to preface their commands with 'sudo'

[Dennis Clark]

Always a possibility but I have gone back in terminal to review all my commands and it looks like sudo was always used. using ssh for everything as I dont have an external monitor.

i.e. sudo apt-get install weewx
Went through the setup dialogs then

sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog. was used to get errors shown in last post.

I am at the point of doing a fresh install of the pi followed by all the weewx install steps again.

[Dennis Clark]

Think I have this solved now. Finally found that the Weewx install would not work because I have a Davis Weatherlink Live in use. Had to add another driver for WLL. Found this at https://github.com/jonotaegi/weewx-wll. Thanks to Vince here and jonotaegi

Hi Everyone,

I just can seem to get my WeeWX to run smoothly. I installed everything and it was running fine a month ago (in the office). So thinking everything was good I deployed the weather station (Davis Vantage Vue) outside for a month. 
When I tried to look for the data the archive stopped before I deployed the logger outside but in the office, it worked again. So I deployed it again and the something but now it doesn't want to work at all. 

I reinstalled Weewx but no luck even formatted the SD card and reinstalled but no luck. 

Is there something I am missing? 

[Andrew Milner]

what does the log say???

[lodewyk...@gmail.com]

Apologies - attached is the log file...

[Tom Keffer]

What seems to be the problem? The log looks totally normal to me. HTML pages are getting generated and put in /home/weewx/public_html

Any particular reason you're using software record generation?

selected some lines from log, shown below.
looks like RPi is reporting under-voltage THEN a high-speed usb hard drive is added on top of that...
weewx not reporting problems but not surprised if strange things are happening

but, repeating: weewx not reporting errors, images are being generated, so i don’t know what is being reported as the problem

[Andrew Milner]

you appear to have a voltage issue - nothing to do with weewx - check with the pi forums.  Check your power supply and make sure you are using a beefy enough one.  if using usb to power devices use a powered usb hub.  otherwise all looks good from the weewx point of view.
