I think it's the "archive_interval" setting under "VantagePro" in weewx.conf. Note that it is in terms of seconds. IIRC, only certain values are allowed. I use 300 (5 minutes). I'm pretty sure 900 (15 minutes) works too. Ah, yes, see section 6.2 of the manual:

Looks like you have to run configure.py (see example) to effect the change.

Jason pretty much covered it. The only thing I would add is that, once chosen, it cannot be changed without starting a whole new archive file.
Well, maybe I'll add still another thing: the VP2 has so much on board storage (2560 records) that there is no good reason not to set it to something short, such as 5 minutes. That's still over 8 days of storage.

Did you try restarting weewxd?

Reports gets run when a new archive record arrives. So, whatever your archive interval, that will be your update interval.
Are you seeing something different?

That's another good suggestion!
In general, if you change your archive interval, you'll need to:
1. Stop weewx
2. Throw away your old archive and stats databases:
rm /home/weewx/archive/*.sdb
3. Edit weewx.conf to reflect your new choice:
[VantagePro]
archive_interval = 300
4. Configure your VP2 to reflect the new archive interval:
./bin/configure.py --configure-VantagePro weewx.conf
4. Restart weewx
That's it!

Wowa.... just no simple way for changing like on Davis software. Thats
ok. Thanks for this. I really needed it. ;) No restart was needed
reconfigured it and it started updating every 5 mins :)
Is there an easier way to use the links in the template file? or do I
have to edit the conf file for every link i want? Thanks again for all
efforts :D

It is a limitation in weewx. It was the tradeoff for allowing the very flexible configuration options for image generation. I'm sure there's some way around it, but I haven't spent any time working on the problem because not many people are affected.
My apologies, but I'm not following your question about "links in the template file". Are you referring to the HTML links within the templates? If so, they are just like any other HTML links. Nothing special about them.
Or, are you referring to how weewx decides which template files to use and, thus, which files get generated? If so, then, yes, every template file must be mentioned in the skin configuration file (skins/Standard/skin.conf in the case of the Standard report) in the [FileGenerator] section.
Did I get lucky and answer your question? :-)

Yup; so standard aherf links are allowed in the template file. Just
looked like like links had to be put in [] [] and call it from the
file. See below.. I was just confused...
Extending [Extras]
Other tags can be added in a similar manner, including subsections.
For example, say you have added a video camera and you would like to
add a still image with a hyperlink to a page with the video. You want
all of these options to be neatly contained in a subsection.
[Extras]
[[video]]
still = video_capture.jpg
hyperlink = http://www.eatatjoes.com/video.html
Then in your template you could refer to these as:
<a href="$Extras.video.hyperlink">
<img src="$Extras.video.still" alt="Video capture"/>
</a>
