[weewx-user] Re: absolute newbie needs help - how run weewx?

[Andrew Milner]

from the tail command you gave your log file is in /var/log/syslog

I do not use vnc, so cannot help on how to copy a file

Gary..thanks. I will try tomorrow (almost midnight here). I may have left
off the = sign.  I didn't know about the "--dry run" switch..I'll give that
a go first.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Guages and driver update question

[gjr80]

I prefer to use full paths when running the utilities and passing files. I 
would use (I run a setup.py install)

$ /home/weewx/bin/wee_extension --install=/path/to/extension_file/
steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz

or for a .deb or dpkg install

$ /usr/share/weewx/wee_extension --install=/path/to/extension_file/
steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz

One will work and the other will error out. sudo may be needed if your user 
does not have sufficient privileges. Add --dry-run if you wish beforehand 
to check that the extension will install. If all goes well you should see 
something like:

Request to install '/var/tmp/steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz'
Extracting from tar archive /var/tmp/steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz
Saving installer file to /home/weewx/bin/user/installer/SteelSeries
Saved configuration dictionary. Backup copy at /home/weewx/weewx.conf.
20170320124410
Finished installing extension '/var/tmp/steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz'

with different paths/details as applicable to your install.

The install will cause us to lose the gauges.js changes and maybe a few 
other (gauge related) things, but nothing too much.

Gary: you are correct, the versions installed are not 2.6.3. If I go 
through the usual extension installation, should this install the correct 
version?

the snippet you got was the whole screen.  there's not more.  if you give 
me a command I can get you more.

I haven't been online in 13 days.  so I think I've waited long enough!  

I hate stuff like this - the power was off for a couple of hours and what 
had been working perfectly and smoothly is now not working at all.  grrr!

[weewx-user] Re: absolute newbie needs help - how run weewx?

[Andrew Milner]

Posting only occurs at archive intervals - which was the reason for the 
other questions!!

Maybe you have not waited long enough

Without a full log from start of weewx thru to at least 2 archive intervals 
it is hard to diagnose anything more

The log snippet you did post showed nothing obviously wrong, but the 
snippet was far far too short to be very useful.

 there should be no more output to the screen from weewx when it is 
 running as a daemon.

 there will be entries in the log though.

 if you want to see weewx output on the screen
 1. stop weewx with sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop
 2. run weewx from the command line

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Guages and driver update question

[gjr80]

Steve,

Just noticed some odd version numbers in some scripts. I can look at your 
gauges.js at http://www.photokinetics.org/Weather/ss/scripts/gauges.js and 
it says gauges.js is version 2.5.1 (circa line 33). The weewx-steelseries 
extension contains v2.6.3 and the current release version on the 
SteelSeries Gauges github site is v2.6.4. I suspect this may well be the 
source of the current issue. You mentioned earlier that you installed 
weewx-steelseries 2.6.3, that should have put gauges.js v2.6.3 in 
skins/ss/scripts and that should in due course be copied to your web 
server. Can you check skins/ss/scripts/gauges.js and see what version it 
is? if it is earlier than 2.6.3 then it looks like the weewx-steelseries 
extension did not install correctly.

Gary

[weewx-user] Re: absolute newbie needs help - how run weewx?

[Andrew Milner]

the log output, as far as it went, looks perfectly ok to me - and as may be 
expected.

data should be being posted to wunderground - so not sure what you mean 
when you say data is not being posted!  where is it not 'posting' to??  
what do you mean when you say it is not being posted??

The log snippet was not long enough to see what happened at your next 
archive interval ie next posting occasion, and the snippet did not say what 
your archive interval was either as the snippet started too late in the 
startup sequence!!!

 this command 

 sudo ls /usr/share/weewx

 got me a file listing of some daemon stuff and a bunch of weewx stuff.

 I guess that's good but I don't know what to do next.

 I ran this command (after reading the docs for the 50th time)

 sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start

 and it says "starting weewx service."

 doesn't seem like it's coming back online though.  

 thanks everyone for all their help!

this command 

sudo ls /usr/share/weewx

got me a file listing of some daemon stuff and a bunch of weewx stuff.

I guess that's good but I don't know what to do next.

I ran this command (after reading the docs for the 50th time)

sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start

and it says "starting weewx service."

doesn't seem like it's coming back online though.  

thanks everyone for all their help!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Guages and driver update question

Steve,

I used your data file on my gauges page and it works fine, so I know 
gauge-data.txt is OK. It will be a mis-configuration somewhere I suspect. 
Could you post your [RealtimeGaugeData] config settings from weewx.conf, I 
know you posted it earlier but we have since added a few settings to 
support http posting gauge-data.txt to your web server.

[weewx-user] Re: Resolved Fine Offset USB issues: A different solution!

[Greg from Oz]

I took the battery out of my console...permanently and I put in a normally 
closed relay into the 5V of the usb cable that goes to the console.
I run a cron job that checks to see if the weather index.html file has NOT 
been changed in 20 minutes. If is has not then the same script restarts 
weewx. If it still doesn't update then the home automation turns on the 
power to the relay and it opens and drops the power to the console and 
resets the console. Weex is started again.
If all of that doesn't work then the script runs  wee_device --clear-memory

if all of that doesn't work I have a backup console...

Touch wood...I haven't had any issues with the fineoffset console for 
years. I wrote the script when I was USING cumulusit locked up lots.

Steve, I wouldn't be too worried about weeWX. WeeWX will leave bin/user and 
your skins alone, the biggest issue is whether any changes in the weeWX code 
base might break any extras/addons but there really have not been any earth 
shattering changes between 3.6.2 and 3.8.0 so should be smooth sailing.

Steve,

Ok, we were looking for gauge-data.txt in the wrong place. In 
skins/ss/scripts/gauges.js locate the realTimeUrlWeewx setting and add gauges/ 
before gauge-data.txt at the end of the line. You will probably have something 
like:

realTimeUrlWeewx = '../gauges/gauge-data.txt';

Save, stop, start and it should pickup the change on the next report cycle.

Thoughts - sure.  Get yourself some Linux training.  Really.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but you will drive yourself nutso battling this 
stuff
if you're a "gimme a ok button to click" kind of person.  Save yourself the 
blood pressure.

There are a variety of free Linux classes online.   One good one was the 
edx.org Linux class.

There are a zillion others.  At a minimum you need to learn how to navigate 
the filesystem,
be able to edit a file, understand the concept of users and permissions 
(and how/when to use 'sudo'),
how to check services are ok, and where logfiles are and how to view them 
effectively.

You mentioned it's a pi, so you are probably running as user 'pi' by 
default.  That means you'll generally
need to preface your commands with "sudo" in order to do things.

Biggest question is whether he installed weewx using the packaged software, 
or if he installed it
manually using the "setup.py" method.  The prepackaged software should have 
done the right thing
to enable weewx to run at boot.  The setup.py method has some additional 
manual steps the installing
person needs to do to enable it to run at boot.

The installation instructions are at 
http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Where_to_find_things which
has some tabs that have the (varying) locations stuff might be installed to 
for the different operating systems
and installation methods.  You're on a pi so you're the Debian or setup.py 
methods.

If he installed via setup.py you should find the installed software via:

   - ls /home/weewx

If he used the packaged version, the software is in a bunch of places:


   - ls /etc/weewx
   - ls /usr/share/weewx


Start there.  One of the two variants will find stuff.  Which one does on 
your system ?
We can work the startup file thing after we figure out how he installed 
your system.

this was helpful.  fired up VNC.  saw terminal command line.  got it

Yeah... I had to learn this after 4 years of using weewx, somehow never 
paid attention to it :/

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Guages and driver update question

[Steve2Q]

Gary, I am not sure if this info will help, but I decided to check what is 
happening on the web server. Maybe this will be of some value.

I found there are 3 gauge-data.txt files. The first one is in 
/photokinetics/Weather. It updates every 2 minutes with a file size of 
1,511.

The second is in /photokinetics/Weather/gauges. It is the only file in the 
folder, and it updates every 2 *seconds* with a file size of 1,511.

The third is in /photokinetics/Weather/ss. It updates every 2 minutes with 
a file size of 2,309. There are also .png files in this folder (the gauge 
"picture" files?) which all update every 2 minutes.

Perhaps there is a place in one of the weewx files that has to point at the 
file in /gauges ?

Steve

[weewx-user] Re: ftp error on upload

[Greg Brougham]

Issue is likely to be the path

/volume(sda1)/ftp/weather

Try uploading to the default location or ./weather, assuming that the 
weather directory has been created in advance

[weewx-user] Re: absolute newbie needs help - how run weewx?

[Andrew Milner]

In the command line window ….(or terminal)

Try to use command line raher than the GUI when using weewx - it is much 
much easier.

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.  I think he

[Andrew Milner]

Did you read the user guide
http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm
and the running weewx section and the running as a daemon section?

If it did not restart automatically then your son-in-law may well have not 
done things correctly, so the instructions may not help too much either!!  
You need your son-in-law to find the time to correct his installation!!

[weewx-user] absolute newbie needs help - how run weewx?

[Mark Roberts]

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.  Can anybody give me a step by step 
procedure to make it go?  THANKS!

[weewx-user] ftp error on upload

[Bryan]

I am trying to set weewx to upload the web data to a disk connected to the 
wireless router with FTP.
I am not seeing any data in the disk directory and am seeing several of the 
following errors in the log (basically for every file weewx tries to 
transfer)

May 14 07:25:46 weatherpi weewx[362]: ftpupload: Attempt #3. Failed 
uploading /volume(sda1)/ftp/weather/NOAA/NOAA-2018-05.txt to 192.168.0.1. 
Reason: 550 Permission denied.

I am sure I have the user information in the weewx.conf file correct. 
Also, I tried uploading a file with ftp to the same folder in the terminal 
window and it worked without issue.
Any help solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

P.S.
This is the ftp part of the config file

[[FTP]]
# FTP'ing the results to a webserver is treated as just another 
report,
# albeit one with an unusual report generator!
skin = Ftp

# If you wish to use FTP, uncomment and fill out the next four 
lines.
   user =user
   password =password
   server =  192.168.0.1
   path = /volume(sda1)/ftp/weather

# Set to True for an FTP over TLS (FTPS) connection. Not all servers
# support this.
secure_ftp = False

# To upload files from something other than what HTML_ROOT is set
# to above, specify a different HTML_ROOT here.
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx

# Most FTP servers use port 21
port = 21

# Set to 1 to use passive mode, zero for active mode
passive = 1

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Funky symbols in plots

[Andrew Milner]

That will be because the yearly plots are only updated once a day I believe
- and I think he monthly and weekly plots are updated only every 2 or 3
hours.

To force an update of all plots you need to delete the old .png files - and
then then it becomes easier to see when they are re-generated
