Hi,

I am new to this group  and weewx and have following hardware:

1) Raspberry Pi 3 where I have installed Debian
2) The Belfryboy Clone USB logger - it was installed & recognized 
3) Davis Vantage Vue

I installed according to the documentation http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm and it went OK without errors.
Then I installed the web server on the Raspi with 'sudo apt-get install apache2'
I have fixed a static IP (192.168.0.39) to the Raspi with my firewall.

When I enter http://192.168.0.39/weewx from another computer on my network I get:
404 Not Found

Where have I gone wrong ?

Firstly do you know which folder apache is serving from.
You need to know this.

What is likely happening is that (assuming the weewx is working correctly), it is posting the archive data to one folder and apache is serving something totally different.

Have you checked the weewx.conf to see where it is saving the data.

You need to get these to match.

The sections dealing with databases in weewx.conf looks like this:

        # The database must match one of the sections in [Databases].
        # This is likely to be the only option you would want to change.
        database = archive_sqlite
        # The name of the table within the database
        table_name = archive
        # The manager handles aggregation of data for historical summaries
        manager = weewx.wxmanager.WXDaySummaryManager
        # The schema defines the structure of the database.
        # It is *only* used when the database is created.
        schema = schemas.wview.schema

##############################################################################

#   This section defines various databases.

        database_type = SQLite
        database_name = weewx.sdb

    [[archive_mysql]]
        database_type = MySQL

My knowledge of Apache is low ...
What should be changed ?

Apache is not the database.  Apache is the web server.  The database will be either MySQL or SQLite.

Check the documentation for apache2 and its configuration files by googling apache2

Take a look at this post from Matthew and see if it's relevant to your situation.

as said, forget about the database etc, that's likely already been configured for you during the install.

Personally I have always got on better with lighttpd than apache.  But that's your decision,

In weewx.conf there should be the config relating to where it's saving the web html files.

Once you know this, have a look and see if there where it says.

You then need to config apache to serve that folder.  Must be a ton of info on the net on how to config apache, use google.

Obviously apache (or lighttpd) is a completely separate program from weewx,  And weewx is unaware of the web server (apache or whatever) and does not care about it.

I made following changes:

/etc/weewx/weewx.conf
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx 

/etc/weewx/apache/conf.d/weewx.conf
Alias /weewx /var/www/html/weewx
<Directory /var/www/html/weewx>
  Options FollowSymlinks
  AllowOverride None
# for apache 2.2
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
# for apache 2.4
#  Require all granted
</Directory>

then restarted weewx and apache ... Bingo ... it works

Thanks for your professional support ...

I am a Linux newb. Using lighttpd on Dietpi. Can someone explain to a layperson how to configure weewx to work with lighttpd? I get the 404 error and assume symbolic links need to be fixed. There are so many weewx.conf files. The locate weewx.conf command yields:

/etc/weewx/apache/conf.d/weewx.conf
/etc/weewx/logwatch/conf/logfiles/weewx.conf
/etc/weewx/logwatch/conf/services/weewx.conf
/etc/weewx/rsyslog.d/weewx.conf
/etc/weewx/weewx.conf
/etc/weewx/weewx.conf.dist
/var/lib/dpkg/info/weewx.conffiles
/var/lib/dpkg/info/weewx.config

Thanks in advance.

Look in the  /etc/weewx/weewx.conf file for the place the HTML files are going and enable them in the web server.

Looks like you have apache installed also...

Thanks, Peter

I only have lighttpd installed/running. When you say enable them for the webserver, can you explain? I have a Debian system and installed weewx via apt-get install as root. Below = weewx.conf file plus the location of the weewx files on my system.

Looking in weewx.conf under stdReport you can see htmlroot pointing at var/www/html/weewx
Your webserver needs to be able to open this directory and the files in it. Chances are its a permissions issue with it. The location of your weewx files is not a problem. 

Read up on lighttpd and see how to enable permissions.

I tried reading up lighttpd and find it all rather bamboozling. As root user one should have permissions by default. I chmod -R 775 /var/www with no joy.

The weewx documentation is light on permissions for a basic debian install. It seems many weewx installations are in home directories, not as Debian root installs.

There are no tutorials explaining how to set up a Raspbian (Raspberry Pi OS) with weewx and lighttpd.

I am running the simulator for testing purposes. This is the lighttpd.conf file:

server.modules = (
    "mod_indexfile",
    "mod_access",
    "mod_alias",
     "mod_redirect",
)

server.document-root = "/var/www/"
server.upload-dirs          = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )
server.errorlog             = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
server.pid-file             = "/run/lighttpd.pid"
server.username             = "www-data"
server.groupname            = "www-data"
server.port                 = 80

# features

server.feature-flags       += ("server.h2proto" => "enable")

#server.feature-flags       += ("server.graceful-restart-bg" => "enable")

# strict parsing and normalization of URL for consistency and security
# https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Server_http-parseoptsDetails
# (might need to explicitly set "url-path-2f-decode" = "disable"
#  if a specific application is encoding URLs inside url-path)
server.http-parseopts = (
  "header-strict"           => "enable",# default
  "host-strict"             => "enable",# default
  "host-normalize"          => "enable",# default
  "url-normalize-unreserved"=> "enable",# recommended highly
  "url-normalize-required"  => "enable",# recommended
  "url-ctrls-reject"        => "enable",# recommended
  "url-path-2f-decode"      => "enable",# recommended highly (unless breaks app)

 #"url-path-dotseg-reject"  => "enable",
 #"url-query-20-plus"       => "enable",# consistency in query string
)

index-file.names            = ( "index.php", "index.html" )
url.access-deny             = ( "~", ".inc" )
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".php", ".pl", ".fcgi" )

    "mod_staticfile",
)

Docs for lighttpd seem pretty good. Did you read this page? https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/TutorialConfiguration

Pay attention to server.document-root = "/var/www/servers/www.example.org/pages/"
That should probably point to /var/www/html/weewx/ 

But there may be more to it to enable permissions for external users to view html files. I didn't read it carefully.

Weewx is not turnkey software that works one way and one way only.  You are expected to know how to customize the setup if you want to run a relatively rarely used web server like lighttpd or the many other ones out there to pick from.

I'd suggest trying a google for 'lighttpd forums' and checking out the forums for that web server specifically.

There are two ways to install.  The legacy 'setup.py' way puts everything in one /home/weewx directory.  The later pre-packaged packaged version puts things in the os-expected locations all through the filesystem.   The user gets to decide which way they want to go.

Where things go is also in the Users Guide at http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Where_to_find_things

There are no tutorials explaining how to set up a Raspbian (Raspberry Pi OS) with weewx and lighttpd.


Please spend a little of the energy you spend complaining and write one and contribute it.   The docs cannot possibly be expected to handle all of the dozens of possible web server packages.  That's an unreasonable expectation.

Solved the problem. I had to chown and chmod permissions for the weewx folder in /var/www/html/weewx. Thanks to all for their helpful suggestions. The next challenge is to hook up my Vaisala WXT520 to the Raspberry Pi via serial data links on the GPIO. The USB cable is too expensive. I have a M12 connector cable and can borrow a configuration cable to get the Vaisala to speak RS232.
