Tom, The install was done with a regular account (wx) using sudo, not root. sudo python3 -m pip install weewx In this case the conf is in /home/wx/weewx-data I took a look at the systemd service file in weewx-data/utils and it is configured with the correct path to config. When root uses the command line as written in the service file, weewx runs properly. /usr/local/bin/weewxd /home/wx/weewx-data/weewx.conf
