My wind speed cups are physically broken; so no wind data ---awaiting delivery of parts and since it is down anyway I decided to do all the updates now while I wait.

I recently upgraded ubuntu OS to 20.04LTS, python to python3 and it appears the update process also updated weewx to 4.1.1.1.

It appears that the install properly created the mysql/MariadB weewx and set up data tables properly.

However, some error messages showed up when I used the "sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog" command after database update was successful. Some were clearly missing modules that I was able to install and clear those up but one repeated one I don't understand what it is telling me nor what process to follow to correct it, it seems possibly something related to a common key error that appears to apply to a number scripts/program code strings?

you would probably get that error if you tell weewx to use StdStationRegistry service e.g. in weewx.conf something like:

    restful_service = weewx.restx.StdStationRegistry, ...

but not defined a RESTful definition stanza in weewx.conf e.g.

    [StdRESTful]   		< < < < this key missing

        [[StationRegistry]]

            register_this_station = true

weewx.conf entries StdRESTful related

I changed the red statements to what is shown in green below; the key error appears corrected but I got the following error msg about missing station URL and not sure where to specify it or what format it has to be.

Everything appears to work properly now and wx data is being sent but wind data will be in error until I get replacement anemometer cups (enroute I'm told)

OK

tis done Sir.

where is web site with registered station located? Never cam across it in any docs so far

you should have a line like the following under [Station] stanza:

station_url = http://www.example.com < < < < your weather station website

this is required along with ‘register_this_station = true’ to register, but it is harmless if you do not register station

this is the second of two fundamental stanzas in your weewx.conf. i don’t know the history of your confg file, but i recommend a thorough comparison with a recent distribution to look for more gaps.

cheers

Somehow your configuration file weewx.conf got corrupted. It should look like:

[StdRESTful]

[[StationRegistry]]
# To register this weather station with weewx, set this to true

register_this_station = false

[[AWEKAS]]
# This section is for configuring posts to AWEKAS.

... (etc.)

Either the section name [StdRESTful] is missing, or it accumulated a typo.
