I agree with Pat that some changes are needed to [StdReport]. I don't
expect the Belchertown extension would be interfering with other skins, but
for some reason it appears that a number of settings in [StdReport] have
changed from default and would appear to be conflicting (the conflicts may
not be the cause of the problem but they certainly limit troubleshooting).
We should have been seeing [[StandardReport]] and [[Belchertown]] both
producing NOAA format reports. Unfortunately the skin = Belchertown setting
under [[StandardReport]] meant that the Standard skin was never called. As
it turns out even if [[StandardReport]] had skin = Standard we would not
have had any Standard skin NOAA reports to look at as the HTML_ROOT =
/var/www/html/weewx appearing under [StdReport] and [[Belchertown]] would
mean that all NOAA reports (whether from the Standard skin or Belchertown
skin would have gone to /var/www/html/weewx/NOAA and since the Belchertown
report was listed after StandardReport the Belchertown NOAA files would
have overwritten those generated by StandardReport.
I suggest a few changes to [StdReport] so we can see if both the Standard
skin and Belchertown are having the same problem generating the NOAA
reports. Based on the Belchertown and WeeWX defaults I would change
[StdReport] to be:
[StdReport]
# Where the skins reside, relative to WEEWX_ROOT
SKIN_ROOT = /etc/weewx/skins
# Where the generated reports should go, relative to WEEWX_ROOT
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx
# The database binding indicates which data should be used in reports.
data_binding = wx_binding
# Each of the following subsections defines a report that will be run.
[[StandardReport]]
# See the customizing guide to change the units, plot types and line
# colors, modify the fonts, display additional sensor data, and other
# customizations. Many of those changes can be made here by overriding
# parameters, or by modifying templates within the skin itself.
# The StandardReport uses the 'Standard' skin, which contains the
# images, templates and plots for the report.
skin = Standard
[[Highcharts_Belchertown]]
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/belchertown
skin = Highcharts_Belchertown
[[Belchertown]]
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/belchertown
skin = Belchertown
[[[Extras]]]
footer_copyright_text = "mydomain.com"
forecast_enabled = 1
darksky_secret_key = "MyGoodKey"
earthquake_enabled = 1
Looking at the Belchertown extension installer I see that HTML_ROOT is
normally be set to HTML_ROOT = belchertown, but in that case that would put
the Belchertown generated files in /usr/share/weewx/belchertown, I think it
will be easier to keep them close to the rest of the generated output in
/var/www/html/weewx.
Leave debug = 1 in weewx.conf for the time being. I would also delete the
contents of the /var/www/html/weewx directory so we can be certain it is
all freshly generated. Once the [StdReport] changes have been made and
/var/www/html/weewx cleared of content, restart WeeWX and let it run for a
couple of archive intervals. Check the NOAA reports for completeness. If
both the Standard and Belchertown NOAA files are missing data than then the
problem is something wider than either report. In which case please post a
copy of the log from when WeeWX was restarted and we will take it from
there.
