in regards to the web page delivering the WEEWX reports outlined here:

Configure Apache to see the WeeWX reports.

If WeeWX was installed from DEB or RPM package, no configuration should be necessary since the reports are placed in the directory /var/www/html/weewx, which is in the Apache DocumentRoot directory /var/www/html
If WeeWX was installed using setup.py, you must tell Apache where to find the WeeWX reports. One method is to install an Apache configuration snippet:
```
sudo cp util/apache/conf.d/weewx.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d
```
Be sure that the path in the Apache configuration snippet matches the HTML_ROOT defined in the WeeWX configuration file. For example, the path for a default setup.py installation would look like this:
```
Alias /weewx /home/weewx/public_html
<Directory /home/weewx/public_html>
    Options FollowSymlinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
```
Restart Apache to make the changes happe
I loaded from the DEB package but as stated above "no further configuration is needed , But I see the Apache default web page at my URL. I assume I need to reconfig a path or file name.
How can i resolve this ?
Thanks in advance
Doug

On my system I have to state folder /weewx at the end of your url in order to pickup the index.html in the weewx folder under the main root of the url.

I think my reports are in the wrong path . the Index.html is the default Debian test page. What folder are the reports from the weather station held?

Hi,

The answer is in your first post:

If WeeWX was installed from DEB or RPM package, no configuration should be necessary since the reports are placed in the directory /var/www/html/weewx, which is in the Apache DocumentRoot directory /var/www/html

I am guessing that since you got a 404 error when you used /weewx in your browser that WeeWX has not placed it’s generated pages in /var/www/html/weewx. This could be because they have been saved elsewhere or more likely they have not been generated at all. I suggest you look in the log, are files being generated and where are they being saved? If you run into difficulties edit weewx.conf, set debug = 1, save weewx.conf and restart WeeWX. Let WeeWX run for 10-15 minutes then take a copy of the log from when you restarted WeeWX through until the 10-15 minutes have elapsed making sure you get the full WeeWX start up. Post the log extract here’s s we will see if we can work out what it going on.

You have an error with your latitude setting in weewx.conf:

May 13 16:32:29 weewx weewx[6603] CRITICAL __main__: **** ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 28.275153 -97.464723

It looks like you have specified both latitude and longitude for latitude. Edit weewx.conf, fix the error, save weewx.conf and restart WeeWX. Then see if there are any further errors in the log.

The user account you are using to edit weewx.conf has insufficient privileges, use an account that does have sufficient privileges or prefix you editor command with sudo.

WeeWX use the singular for units, so foot not feet. Your altitude setting under [Station] in weewx.conf has feet in it.
