shouldn't that be: sudo wee_config --reconfigure --config=/home/weewx/weewx.conf rather than --driver= On Wednesday, 21 September 2016 20:46:46 UTC+3, Andy Harrold wrote: > Open a terminal window and type (change location if your Weewx.conf is > located somewhere else. > > sudo wee_config --reconfigure --driver=/home/weewx/weewx.conf > > > On Wednesday, 21 September 2016 03:09:25 UTC+1, Bob Breck wrote: >> >> Doing a clean install on a new Raspberry Pi (v 3.5.0).

Open a terminal window and type (change location if your Weewx.conf is located somewhere else. sudo wee_config --reconfigure --driver=/home/weewx/weewx.conf On Wednesday, 21 September 2016 03:09:25 UTC+1, Bob Breck wrote: > > Doing a clean install on a new Raspberry Pi (v 3.5.0).

[weewx-user] Re: Can't edit config file
You are probably better off getting familiar with the command line interface, and using a text editor such as nano to edit config files with. rather than using a graphical editor. Permissions are changed and set in the standard Linux way. If the files are owned by another user, such as root, a method to edit them is to use sudo before the command eg sudo nano weewx.conf On Wednesday, 21 September 2016 05:09:25 UTC+3, Bob Breck wrote: > Doing a clean install on a new Raspberry Pi (v 3.5.0).
