Problem with moving to a new server

I have an old installation on raspian with weewx 4.0 and plan to move to Ubuntu server 20.04 LTS (64-bit version) with v 4.7 of weewx. The weather station is a Froggit WH3000 and I am using weewx-interceptor. The old installation works fine with device_type = observer, so that is what I am using on the new server as well.

The problem is that when I change the IP-address to the new server in the weather station console the data is not coming through. Here is an extract from the log (debug mode):

I must have missed something when setting up the new server. But what? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Can you post your weewx.conf (including the [Interceptor] section)? Have you tried to run directly the interceptor driver? PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python3 /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --device=observer --port=yourport

Good Morning Francesco,

The result from ~$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python3 /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --device=observer --port=80:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I get the same result when I run the command on the working server (except for line numbers as the Python version is older).

I am using port 8000 for the web page and it shows up with the simulator. With observer the web page is updated with an interval

of 5 minutes but the content is N/A.

As far as I can remember I have only edited the first part of weewx.conf (general configuration and driver part). Here it is:

The result from ~$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python3 /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --device=observer --port=80:

==> try prefacing your command with 'sudo' and see if that helps any...

With sudo the last line is changed to:

OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use

This is what happens also on the working server.

Yeah, you should try with sudo, but first you have to stop the weewx service. If it's stopped and you have the "Address already in use" exception, then there is something else running on port 80

I missed that. Now I get:

mapped packet: {'dateTime': 1649098956, 'usUnits': 16}

from the new server (when it is enabled in the weather console).

On the working server it looks like this:

mapped packet: {'usUnits': 1, 'inTemp': 68.7, 'pressure': 28.651, 'windGust': 1.1, 'inHumidity': 32.0, 'dateTime': 1649098792, 'windDir': 8.0, 'rain': None, 'windSpeed': 0.7, 'radiation': 0.0, 'barometer': 28.807, 'windchill': 32.7, 'outTemp': 32.7, 'UV': 0.0, 'dewpoint': 31.8, 'outHumidity': 96.0}

Well, it seems that the interceptor on the new installation is not mapping/decoding correctly the packets received from the weather console. Is the interceptor.py (it should be located in /usr/share/weewx/user/) you're using on the new installation the same of the old one (or are you using some modded interceptor.py) ? You could try to copy the interceptor.py from the old installation overwriting (after backing it up) the one in the new installation and check if it's working running again sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python3 /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --device=observer --port=80 --debug (to see also the raw packets). I would also try to run PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python3 /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --device=ecowitt-client --port=80

Thank you very much for your advice! This solved the problem.
