Just a quick update.
One last attempt to get weewx running at boot before I drive out and format
the microsd card to start fresh. I followed the below article to
automatically run weewx using systemd and it is working now! Thanks for all
the support.
Thanks Vince,
That is good advice. I tried that more than once and the problem persists
so i'm ready to drive out to the location and collect the SD card to format
it so i can start fresh.
This is the first weather station I built so I probably did something wrong
when I first set it up. I
You're changing too many things and not completely cleaning up what you had
before.
I'd suggest starting over with the Simulator then switching to the real
driver you want to use (presumably SDR from your previous posts).
- Remove the debian package. Remove the /etc/weewx tree if it still
Thanks Vince,
Yes, weewx runs perfectly when i start it manually. If i reboot, it does
not start automatically. I'm convinced the previous install of weewx has
left some confusion on the system. In fact, i tried to install weewx from
deb again and it also wasn't starting automatically. I think
Why the discussion re init.d ? Looking at my system, weewx appears to use
systemd, so:
systemctl status weewx
should show whether weewx is running
and something like (not tested)
sudo systemctl enable weewx.service
to make weewx run on bootup.
Weewx newbie here, so it may not be so simple.
It's rather hard to tell what it's doing based on you (re)starting the
service versus running manually perhaps.
At Jul 5 08:04:52 I see a keyboard interrupt then another start at 08:05:17
which seems to run. At 08:10:19 it adds a record to the db but fails to
run the Seasons skin due to the
Things to try
1. Where are you getting this system log? It looks very sparse.
2. What version of Raspbian are you using? (Use "cat /etc/os-release")
3. Try using a -x switch before running /etc/init.d/weewx. It will at least
tell you what it's doing:
set -x
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
set +x
We've seen this one before recently.
See if the pid file referenced in the init.d file is present in /var/run -
if it's there either delete it manually or else do a couple 'sysctl stop
weewx' commands to delete it. Subsequent startups should work ok.

Thanks for the reply. It could very well be the init.d/weewx script but
i've started at it and from what i understand, i can't see an error. I've
attached weewx.txt which is the top half of the init.d script.
I cleared the syslog and the weewx.log and then i rebooted. After the
reboot i pasted
Make sure the script in /etc/init.d/weewx references your new copy of
weewxd in /home/weewx/bin, and not the old copy in /usr/share/weewx
But, it's hard to say anything definitive without seeing the log.

Hi,
I originally had weewx installed using the DEB package which was fine. With
the intention of using multiple instances of weewx for different stations,
I have uninstalled that and then I re-installed weewx using setup.py to the
/home/weewx/
It works perfectly when I run it directly in
