Hello,
Having you station on Internet could be an other root of yourr problem:
hackers interfering/disrupting your connections. Most stations I know have
little, if any, protection against hackers. So check your firewall. You can
also install a spy, using wireshark for example, recording all
I'm still a little lost as to why your weather station is talking to weewx
via the internet - can't you just give weewx an internal IP address for the
weather station and not bother using dyndns.
Just seen that this was discussed a year or so ago also - so will let the
vp experts take over
then that is when we need the log. the log you posted weewx was still
running.
I guess eventually weewx probably hits the wait for x minutes before
restarting situation - maybe that is what is happening - but weewx would
log a message before shutting down.
I do not believe the log you posted
Hi Andrew,
in case it would be run I should get this message when I try to start it:
"already running"
/etc/init.d/weewx start
* Starting weewx weather system weewx
* already running...
...done.
What I am calling a crash and I run
/etc/init.d/weewx start
I am getting, see below, so
I am sorry - this is NOT a crash. Weewx is sill running and is trying and
trying to reach your station.
If you look closely at your log you will see it is logging try #1, try #2,
try #3, try #4 and so forth. This is not a crash - this is handling an
error because it cannot communicate with
Dear Andrew,
my Weewx is not running at this point, see the log file
Right now it is running, If I try to start it I am getting:
* Starting weewx weather system weewx
* already running...
...done.
which is right.
But before it was not running and it was crahing. I am pretty sure the
since you seem to be using a non-static ip connection which may not be
known for 5 minutes (30 secs) to the weather station have you tried
increasing the wait time to say 6 minutes (360 secs) in weewx.conf
(currently set to 180 secs). I'm sure this is a question of tweeking the
timeouts and
Thanks for your quick response. I have no fixed IP from my ISP, my DynDNS
IP is checked and updated every 5 minutes
I am running a Davice Vantage Pro with WeatherLink IP
As attached file the log and my conf file
Thanks again

Weewx does not crash without a reason. Believe me - it doesn't.
What does the log have to say around the time of the crashes. Fixing the
cause of your crashes is the right way to go about fixing the problem
rather than trying a sticky plaster approach with automated restarts.
