Any particular reason why you tried to reinstall weewx? And, the version you reinstalled is for python2.
NB: there is only one code base for weewx. There is no separate Python 2 and Python 3 versions. The only difference between the two packages is in which prerequisites get installed. But, the actually weewx code base is identical. That is why you only needed to install the new prerequisites. Surely there is something in the logs. What happens if you try to run weewxd directly from the command line?
