Irregardless of how weewx is installed, the following locations are searched when looking for weewx.conf:
1. If an argument is given to weewxd, it uses that; 2. Then it tries two levels up from the directory weewxd is in (this is useful when running out of the git repository); 3. Then it tries /etc/weewx; 4. Then it tries /home/weewx. I suspect the problem is that the file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf doesn't exist? Make sure it does. If it does, then we'll have to investigate further. -tk On Sun, May 5, 2019 at 5:47 PM JM <[email protected]> wrote: > I have previously set up two other weather stations using weewx.
