sorry about this guys, I'm quite unskilled when it comes to this stuff. I've installed sqlite and apache2 using apt and then weewx using dpkg. It seems to be running but i cannot see the server through a browser or locate pages and config etc. i see that there is an issue regarding default locations for config and the actual html interface page. ive read the thread here and on sourceforge but i think i have been unable to find a sequence of commands and configurations that works. i'm using bodhilinux3 so that ought to be equiv to ubuntu 16?
thanks in advance fr your help. Mark On Wednesday, July 27, 2016 at 11:56:56 AM UTC-10, Tom Keffer wrote: > > Mystery solved!
