Hello,

I am slowly progressing on my move from wview to weewx. In wview I was uploading data to wunderground and AWEKAS with no problems. Trying to setup the same in weewx appeared to be simple in weewx.conf, however, it seems that I haven't done this properly.  Here are the elements in weewx.conf:

[[AWEKAS]]
        # This section is for configuring posts to AWEKAS.
        # If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,
        # and specify a username and password.
        enable = true
        username = N4MRV
        password = xxxxxx
[[Wunderground]]
        # This section is for configuring posts to the Weather Underground.
        # If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,
        # and specify a station (e.g., 'KORHOODR3') and password.
        enable = true
        station = KVAASHL4
        password = xxxxxx
        # Set the following to True to have weewx use the WU "Rapidfire"
        # protocol. Not all hardware can support it. See the User's Guide.
        rapidfire = False

In weewx.log I get:

restx: Wunderground-PWS: Data for station KVAASHL4 will be posted
restx: AWEKAS: Data will be uploaded for user N4MRV
restx: Wunderground-PWS: bad login; waiting 60 minutes then retrying
restx: AWEKAS: bad login; waiting 60 minutes then retrying

From my wview.log I was getting:

n4mrv wviewftpd[2356]: <1458940884115> : FTP-SUCCESS: awekas_wl.htm
Mar 25 17:26:23 n4mrv wviewftpd[2356]: <1458941183440> : FTP-URL: ftp://grattans.org/wx/awekas_wl.htm

I understand that wview and weewx send data in different ways but I'm using the same IDs and passwords. There must be a stupid mistake on my part here but I'm not able to find it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

AWEKAS was solved by changing my ID but wunderground still isn't working.

restx: AWEKAS: Published record 2016-03-25 18:15:00 EDT (1458944100)

bob,

does your password contain characters other than 0-9 and a-z?

try putting the password in quotes

Sorry all, this has been resolved. Between using the wrong ID for AWEKAS and a typo in the wunderground station name, everything seems to be posting correctly. Sorry for the unnecessary questions.
Thanks to all who have helped me with previous questions. I'm happy with weewx but am learning slowly.

Does the password have a pound symbol (#) in it by any chance? The configuration utility used by weewx will interpret it as the beginning of a comment.

If so, then enclose the password in quotation marks.
