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.

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

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... On Friday,

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. On Friday, 16 December 2016 14:56:01 UTC, Andrew Milner wrote: > or you could just have it routed badly now near some form of > interference .. > > slow

or you could just have it routed badly now near some form of interference .. 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

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. -tk On Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 5:57 AM, Auchtermuchty Weather wrote: > I was

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. On Friday, 9 December 2016 18:58:46 UTC, Andrew Milner wrote: > > If

*"I'm going to try copying the entire /home/weewx tree to the new RPi and then use setup.py to upgrade there, and see how it goes."* 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

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. On Friday, 9 December 2016 14:15:49 UTC+2, Dave Webb wrote: > Why don't you just upgrade everything on the currently running Pi > including weewx

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+. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/updating.md Dave-KB1PVH Sent from my Galaxy S7 On Dec 9, 2016
