skins stuck on wrong skin

[Cat22]

Even tho  have only steel series enabled i get the seasons skin. Sometimes i

have found it enabled after i am sure it was not,and after disabling it and verifying steel series is enabled i get the correct skin, but later when i go back and look its back at the seasons skin. This is after upgrading to 4.7.0

[Graham Eddy]

with debug=1 in weewx.conf, which reports does the log say you are generating?

It doesn't say. But if i comment out the seasons section get the steel series like i expected

Also, i just uncommented that section and it stays at the steel series but i am sure if i come back and check in 1/2 hour or and hour it will be back  to seasons. I have sen that 3 times already which is what prompted e to post

Make sure you not only set "enable=false" for the Seasons skin, but also delete its old generated images and HTML files. Old files are not deleted just because you switched skins.

Not sure what files i need to remove, but here's a new issue that cropped up.

      $current.dateTime.format("%A %b %-e, %Y %I:%M %p")                                                                                                                                                                 

in my index.php.tmpl prints the same time of day all day long 

[Tom Keffer]

Remove them all. They will get regenerated.

Not sure what files i need to remove, but here's a new issue that cropped up.

      $current.dateTime.format("%A %b %-e, %Y %I:%M %p")                                                                                                                                                                 

in my index.php.tmpl prints the same time of day all day long 

We need more information than this. Does the rest of the page change? What hardware? What's in the log?

[Cat22]

So, I looked in public_html and i see that index.php and the png files have not been updated since 7:20 am today
and this appears to be the reason according to the weewx.log:
weewx.reportengine: Copied 0 files to /usr/local/bin/weewx/public_html
When i set Debug=1 and wait for it to post, i see this:

[Cat22]

remove them all from where?

[Cat22]

I should note, that i use a separate program to send the final data to the website but that is working fine, dont be mislead by the log entries for rsync and ftp

[Tom Keffer]

1. Remove the generated files from wherever HTML_ROOT points to, which is likely to be either /var/www/html or /home/weewx/public_html.
2. The "Copied 0 files" log entry is normal. The copy generator is responsible for copying static files like CSS and JS files. It's only used the first time the reports are run.
3. Your Vantage logger is likely suffering from corrupt memory. To fix, see the wiki article WeeWX generates HTML pages, but it does not update them

Well, i gave up and reinstalled v 4.0.0 and its working, I think 4.7.0 has issues

For one, no matter what you set WEEWX_ROOT to it always installs in /home/weewx

I deleted everything and unpacked the tar file, edited weewx.conf and ran setup.py build and setup.py install

and weewx gets installed under /home - every time. I tried it several times

Hmmm, not sure I agree, 4.7.0 installs fine for me in a directory other than under /home, output below refers. If you have a read of the setup.py install instructions you will find that WEEWX_ROOT has no control over where WeeWX is installed, the home setting in setup.cfg controls where WeeWX is installed. WEEWX_ROOT controls where WeeWX stores/looks for various files/directories when WeeWX is run, WEEWX_ROOT is set automatically by the installer during install.

Of course if you have any issues with v4.7.0 please provide details so the issue can be identified and fixed.

Well, ok, I will give it another try. Is it reasonable to upgrade from version 4.0.0?

[gjr80]

Should be fine, there are a couple of patches to the daily summary tables but they will be taken care of by the installer.

Gary

[gjr80]

Assuming the upgrade to 4.7.0 goes OK, if you do run into issues with WeeWX just edit weewx.conf, set debug = 1, save weewx.conf and restart WeeWX. Let WeeWX run for at least three archive periods/report cycles and then post a log extract showing the entire WeeWX startup through until the three report cycles complete. That way we can see exactly how WeeWX is configured and exactly what it is doing.

Of course, thousands have done it. But be sure to read the setup.py upgrade instructions! 

In particular, if your installation is somewhere other than /home/weewx, you must first set 'home' in setup.cfg.
