I decided to flush the SD and do a total reinstall. What follows id the
chronology
*Downloaded weewx-3.8.2.tar.gz *
*sudo apt-get install mc Because it is so handy*
*sudo apt-get install python*
*sudo apt-get install python-pil*
*sudo apt-get install python-imaging*
*sudo apt-get install python-configobj*
*sudo apt-get install python-cheetah*
*sudo apt-get install python-usb*
*sudo apt-get install mysql-client*
*sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb*
*sudo apt-get install ftp*
*sudo apt-get install python-dev*
*sudo apt-get install python-pip*
*sudo pip install pyephem*
*sudo apt-get install apache2 *
*cd Downloads*
*tar xvfz weewx-3.8.2.tar.gz*
*cd weewx-3.8.2*
*./setup.py build*
*sudo ./setup.py install*
Change, per instructions to use MySQL
*mysql> CREATE USER 'weewx'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'weewx';*
*mysql> GRANT select, update, create, delete, insert, drop ON weewx.* TO
weewx@localhost <mailto:weewx@localhost>;*
*sudo cp weewx/util/apache/conf.d/weewx.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d*
*cd /home/weewx*
*sudo cp util/init.d/weewx.debian /etc/init.d/weewx*
*sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/weewx*
*sudo update-rc.d weewx defaults 98*
Started weewx and got syslog

where I was before I redid it all.. Beginning to think the Raspberry Pi
was a bad idea. I am perfectly willing to be corrected if I did
something wrong, but I don’t see any omissions or mistakes on the
install. Meanwhile weewx has been running without a hitch on the Dell
Optiplex 790 and Mint 19 for over a month non-stop. Was hoping to get it
working on the PI so it would be easier to run on battery power. Beginning to wonder if it isn't a shortcoming of the Raspberian OS
