Agree.  Go very slowly.  One step at a time.

Your post at 6:40AM where you wiggled the cable and got some syslog 
messages leads me to believe that you have some cable or adaptor that is 
not quite seated fully, but be very careful with the pi.  Those ports are 
'very' fragile.

Well the last restart has fixed it with nothing else being done!  

The generated page is visible via the Pi's web server, and it's uploading 
to the other PC which serves it to the wider web.  Wunderground reports I 
am back on line as well, so it is looking good.

http://muchty-weather.org.uk/weather/

(I don't put wind direction data on as due to the location of the sensors 
it's meaningless)

Think the initial problem was not being hot plug the Pi.  I was keen to 
switch to wifi having found the problems I did have with it are resolved in 
latest version of the Pi OS to get rid of the Homeplug and it's cable.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Replacing the Raspberry Pi

[Andrew Milner]

Just do one thing at a time

still have not seen the log from start for 10 minutes when using wifi!!

Personally, if it used to be Ethernet then I would be using Ethernet now
and only change to wifi when once I knew that what used to work still
works!!

I never imagined the console had moved - I was always assuming that it
would be the pi in a different place - but that still means the cable run
from weather station to old pi is not exactly the same as weather station
to new pi, and the new pi may be located near interference or the cable may
now be crossing over a cause of interference - when it wasn't before.

 slow down

 1.  connect all your hardware
 2. stop weewx
 3. set debug = 1 in weewx.conf
 3. start weewx
 4. wait for weewx to get 'missing' archive records from console if
 there are any to retrieve
 5.wait for first archive interval to pass (5 or 10 minutes??)

 6. post log from start to first interval if you still have problems.

 If all is well
 edit weewx.conf to turn debug off and restart weewx

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Replacing the Raspberry Pi

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

The weather station is in exactly the same place.  The Pi is in a slightly 
different one, I'm not using a hub as this is one of the newer Pis with 4 
USB ports - the old Pi had one but I was using a wired network via a 
Powerlink plug.

However I can switch back to the Powerlink...

Could switching to a wifi dongle cause enough interference to be a 
problem?  Otherwise it's almost exactly as it's been for 4 years.

4. wait for weewx to get 'missing' archive records from console if there 
are any to retrieve
5.wait for first archive interval to pass (5 or 10 minutes??)

6. post log from start to first interval if you still have problems.

If all is well
edit weewx.conf to turn debug off and restart weewx

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Replacing the Raspberry Pi

[Thomas Keffer]

Take a look at the "driver" option in weewx.conf and make sure it's
correct.

If that's not the problem, then set debug=1, restart weewx, then follow
Andrew's suggestion of posting more of the log.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Replacing the Raspberry Pi

[Auchtermuchty Weather]

The penny has dropped that I had the new RPi uploading to a different 
folder on the web server.  The one it will use when running live of course 
has it's NOAA folder complete!  It doesn't matter if it's incomplete on the 
RPi.

 I had a B+ Pi doing nothing (Micro SD card, 4 USB ports) so I put 
 the latest Raspberrian on an 8GB card and then installed Weewx and 
 it's 
 working fine with the simulator - the HTML files are being produced

 Not quite sure what the process of changing the two over is

 both are on my network), not sure what stuff though.

 Nor am I sure if there are any 'gotchas' I need to be aware of.

That seems to work including the Ftp (I had passwd not password!), so I 
will stop the old Pi, take another copy etc. and put it on the new Pi and 
take it from there.  However I do also need to copy the NOAA directory to 
the web server that the Internet sees.

Keep it simple.

The thing in a 2.x => 3.x weewx upgrade that takes a 'lot' of time, and 
even fails sometime on a pi specifically, is the database conversion.   If 
you had a fast system that you could do a quick Vagrant VM or Docker 
container of weewx on, you could do your database conversion offline and 
just copy the /home/weewx/archive tree into place onto the new pi. 
 Similarly your old public_html tree is still good, so you could just copy 
that tree into place too on the pi.  That's the fastest and most reliable 
way I've found.

I have stuff on github for how to quickly spin up a vagrant box running 
weewx 'or' a docker container running weewx if you have interest.  Email me 
for the links.

If your new pi+ disk has 3.6.2 on it and working in simulator mode already, 
you'll also have to eventually change the driver from Simulator to whatever 
your system uses, and also change the interface to match whether you're 
serial or usb.  Pretty normal weewx stuff there.   Just make sure you stop 
weewx so your don't get simulator data corrupting your converted historical 
data.

If you've edited any of the skins, you'd have to copy them into place too.

Dave - I don't think that would move from Wheezy to Jessie, and I seem to 
recall that Raspberry recommended a clean install when going to Jessie.

 I realised that not only am I running an old (2.7) version of Weewx, 
 the RPi it's on is short of room on the SD card - it's an old B model with 
 an SD card.

 I had a B+ Pi doing nothing (Micro SD card, 4 USB ports) so I put the 
 latest Raspberrian on an 8GB card and then installed Weewx and it's 
 working 
 fine with the simulator - the HTML files are being produced with correct 
 units & layout.

 Not quite sure what the process of changing the two over is though.  I 
 know I will have to copy some stuff across (not a problem as both are on 
 my 
 network), not sure what stuff though.

 Nor am I sure if there are any 'gotchas' I need to be aware of.

Why don't you just upgrade everything on the currently running Pi including
weewx then copy the card and burn to bigger SD card. After you do that you
can put the card in the B+.
