Thanks for that Gary, I might have to park the history project for a while as I seem to have bigger problems!
I had everything running nicely - updating WU and was able to see my output on index.html.....and then I went headless... shutdown pulled out the screen, keyboard and mouse and rebooted.....now it will not update WU nor can I see it working on file:///var/www/html/weewx/index.html.....Hmmmmm! I wonder what I might have done wrong now!
