John, Please don't summarize what you're finding. Cut-and-paste explicitly into the email. For example, when you say '**I get access denied**' when trying to use mysql, did it prompt for a password first (it should have)? You should have given it the MySQL root password you used when setting up

It is possible to reset the mysql root password as long as you have root access to the OS it’s running on. (Yes, I know this for the obvious reason….) There are a couple of ways to do this; here’s one:

You can also use MySQL without a password if you switch users to root. At the risk of confusing things further because I believe you should use sqlite for its simplicity and portability You can try sudo su It may or may not challenge you. If it does Type in your pi password Then type

Hi, You are right, what you see is expected behaviour though StdReport has nothing to do with it - it's just a victim of the fault. You can have WeeWX continually retry loading the driver if the driver fails to load through use of the loop_on_init config option in weewx.conf. I think
