Add /home/weewx/bin to your path here's a tutorial on how to do that. www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-add-directories-to-your-path-in-linux/ When you have added /home/weewx/bin to your path you won't need to write the full path to run wee_config, nor need ./ prepended to the command. Be sure that user pi has the ability to run those commands or you will need to run sudo wee_config Liz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
