Well that is your choice - but I suspect your problems are more to do with using Linux instead of windows rather than having anything whatsoever to do with weewx. Weewx is fantastic software - all that you had to do was tell weewx the ip address of your weather station - but that seemed to be beyond your abilities for some reason. Linix is not windows - you do not go around rebooting linux just in order to restart a program for example.
Well I think not using weewx will be your loss - maybe you should have made sure you understood linux basics before going down the weewx route!! when you got your last error the chances are it was because you did not specify the full path to weewx.conf, and at the time you were in your home directory rather than in the weewx home directory. As I said before, knowing Linux basics would have helped you a lot!! Never mind - you have made your decision. Should you decide to try again remember to go one step at a time and follow instructions exactly. The weewx documenttion is really good and all the users are always willing to help - but go one step at a time. As I said before I suspect your issues were nothing whatsoever to do with weewx but were connected with your lack of knowledge of linux basics.
