Thank you mwall.

You were right.  The "messages" file contains the log entries you're 
looking for.  Honestly, I would not have ever thought of that.

Aug  3 13:07:24 SuperServer weewx[31373]: engine: Unable to load driver: 
Could not configure port: (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device')
Aug  3 13:07:24 SuperServer weewx[31373]:     ****  Exiting...

I am not clear on the error.  The only thing I can think of is if I need to 
open the port using port forwarding on my router?  Otherwise, I'm not sure 
what i need to do to correct this error.

Thanks again!
