Hello I have been using Weewx for some years on an Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI)

I wanted to upgrade to Weewx 5.1 but somewhere something went wrong and i decided to reinstall the RPI and then Weewx 5.1. Whilst doing so i encouter a problem. The logfile is below. I am not sure what it means and what i should do to repair it.

It means you likely have a typo on your port line in the Vantage driver section, if you are connecting to the station over the network. You provided no details regarding your setup so it is impossible to guess otherwise.

I have vantage pro 2 station and weatherlink live with ethernet connection. I have used the standard pip installation and copied all the commands into the terminal as indicated in the guide on the WEEWX website. In Weewx.conf i entered the ip address of the weatherlink live. Otherwise i have not touched any file. I could not verify the installation because there ìs no public_html/index.html in weewx-data.

I attach a copy of the vantage driver section.

Perhaps it was a typo, but did you say you are using WeatherLink Live? The WeeWX Vantage driver does not support that. Or, did you mean you have the WeatherLink IP, which the driver does support?

It's possible that you are not looking at the same weewx.conf file that weewxd is using. The log will tell.

If you're still stuck, set debug=1, restart weewx, then send the log. See How to get a useful log report. Please do not send a screenshot!

Thank for your replies. I have found a working driver and got things working. However when i tried to use "weectl extension" to install the neoground skin, i got the message that the "command weectl" can not be found.

I found "weectl" 2x in the home/user section on my Rasberry PI. When i tried to use those files, i got the message that access is disallowed, also with sudo.

How can install the skin?

"source ~/weewx-venv/bin/activate" to activate your python virtual environment, then the weectl command will work.

You did a pip installation, so you always need to activate your venv before running weewx commands.

Thank you for pointing that out.
