Hello, I have tried many threads any many things, however I am still unsuccessful in getting WeeWX into the working state.

I have installed a HyperV VM (gen2) with Debian 11:

I successfully installed WeeWX using the docs:
https://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm

I configured WeeWX to use my Vantage Pro2 station (via WeatherLink IP) using the following config:

However, I am getting pretty odd results as I cannot see any HTML folder created in /var/www/html/ .

As the reporting was the only function I actually needed, this seems rather unfortunate.

However, what I have found out is that I cannot see any cheetahgenerator logs at all in the syslog:

I have also used this thread to eliminate the read erros and migrated from init.d to systemd (by Peter Fletcher at 14. 3. 2019 21:51:37):

https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/xhZYyX5cg8k

This did indeed solve many IP read problems (and I highly recommend to use this instead of init.d in packages).

However, the HTMLs are still not generated despite the DB catchup runs correctly.

I kindly ask for help.

Thank You.

Hello, Markek

The first report is not generated until the end of the first archive interval. No report is generated on catchup.

Your archive interval is rather long (1/2 hour), so you will have to wait a bit to see the first one.

To change the archive interval, use the utility wee_device with option --set-interval.

Hello, Tom,

thanks, the 30 min archive interval is set up on purpose.

However, after 12 hours, different configs and a full machine reinstall, the system was able to create a report only once, then the index.html with current weather has not been updated, but monthly reports were OK.

Then I reinstalled the app again, configured it from the scratch...nothing.

Thanks.

Marek

If that's the case, it would be useful to see more of the log, in particular of the time when the report should have been run.

It's possible that the logger in your Davis is suffering from corrupted memory, but it's impossible to say without seeing the log. See the wiki.

Hello, Tom,

thanks for pointing out the corrupted memory issue.

I chose to experiment a bit:

1) downloaded the station data to the WeeWX database

2) reflashed the very oddly responding station back to FW v1.90 - will experiment with the newer versions later though and share the results

3) cleared the memory using:

wee_device --dump

...did not respond at all... wee_device --clear-memory

...deleted all data...

wee_device --dump

...something happened, not idea what, the station responded, but whatever, just to be sure...

4) ran wee_reports - this created everything I needed

5) reconfigured the logging interval to 15 minutes using "wee_device --set-interval 15"

6) waited...everything seems to be up-to-date now

Thanks a lot for Your support!

However, I would like to point out that this issue should be bound to an error hook - if the WeeWX does not run the reports for whichever reason, the user should definitely know. From the UX point-of-view, this is an unhandled exception.

My issue was probably caused by manual time correction on the station itself. If there is a time correction bigger than half of the archival interval, the WeeWX should delete the previous data in the logger automatically as well.

OK.

Found another two issues.

At the service restart it would be helpful to add a 15 sec delay for running the Vantage driver after the service start.

When I restart the service, the connection is apparently not closed from the station's side. The new instance is not working after the restart.

After reboot, all was fine, which was rather curious. So I decided to experiment and found out that if I do not use > systemctl restart weewx.service < but use > systemctl stop weewx.service < + 10 s and afterwards >systemctl start weewx.service<, all works well.

My IP connection issues had nothing to do with the firmware.

Have a good day.

Marek

Oh yes. The second issue.

Weather34 plugin cannot be installed on Debian 11, basically everything fails, missing docs, error hooks, permission issues... But this has probably nothing to do with this forum.
