After installing weewx  5.1.0 under Debian 12 using the DEB files, I had only to add weewx to the dialout group; that got weewx running properly, and with a browser, I see the graphs. 

Now I need to FTP the graph images (presumably from HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx ) to my web site, which is on a hostgator shared server.  I used to do that with weewx 4.8. 

I filled out the FTP section of weewx.conf ,  but there is no upload, and errors are shown in the system log.

The machine dedicated to weather service is in the LAN, but I have not yet installed a mail package on the machine.  What is the best way for me to make visible to this list log files from that machine?

Did you set enable = true in the FTP section?

yes.  I tried to upload a section of the log with error messages as an attachment.  RLH

Ah OK, I misread "and errors are shown in the system log" as "and no errors are shown in the system log", my bad. But uploading a log as an Attachment is the best way. If you can configure weewx to log into a dedicated log file first, even better. And make sure you read and follow the instructions on top of this group: https://groups.google.com/u/0/g/weewx-user
