Re: [weewx-user] Total newbie - WeeWx not uploading at all after being great on Raspberry Pi
YOU ARE THE MAN! Unfortunately I disconnected the web from the Raspberry Pi hoping a web reboot would fix the world. Now all I have to do is get that working again and I'm good to go.

[weewx-user] Total newbie - WeeWx not uploading at all after being great on Raspberry Pi
So I'm a complete newbie. A friend did the initial setup on my Raspberry Pi and it worked great for several years. Uploaded my Davis Vantage 2 wx station to Weather Underground flawlessly. Power blinked and went off for several hours last week. Since then ... nada. I have tried to restart weewx but I know zippo. I don't know enough to follow some of the threads here and make any sense of any of it. My friend emailed me this: Try sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start I did try that using my VNC Viewer to connect to the Pi and Weewx said it started. But it's not uploading. So ...? I don't even know where to begin. Any and all ideas are very welcome. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

and how would I alter the config file? and I'm still not really clear on what we're doing here. something is happening every 30 min that should happen faster. what? off to bed. will work on this tomorrow. #victorious!

WOOH! You sir, are da man! I dumped the memory - using one of those commands below (can't remember now which one!) and ka-bang. Started weewx and I am online and reporting! Thanks so much everybody!!

this was helpful. fired up VNC. saw terminal command line. got it running and typed in sudo weewxd weewx.conf alas! it didn't work. says it can't find the .conf file. thoughts? ideas?

I read the weewx doc TWICE and have to admit I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT ALL THAT STUFF MEANS. where do I type those commands? don't rag on my son-in-law - he got it going the first time.

[weewx-user] absolute newbie needs help - how run weewx?
Built me a Raspberry Pi (which was fun) but had a little trouble figuring out how to install/config weewx. Got son-in-law who is a web developer to figure it out for me and get it up and running. Ka-bang! I'm up with my Davis Weather Station and all is working and is good. Then we had a power outage. Not good. He thinks he set it up to auto start on a reboot but apparently ... not. I have no reporting. Nada. I can see the Raspberry Pi on the VPN viewer on my laptop but I have no idea what to do to start WeeWx. I need a weewx.exe to double click! LOL Yes, I could get him to fix it but he's super busy and can't get around to it. And I figure we'll get a power blink again sometime so I might as well learn what to do to get back online.
