Hi all, I'm trying to move weewx to a new computer but getting nowhere fast.
The weather station is a Vantage Pro2 with serial data logger (not USB)
communicating with an RS232 port on my old Dell D520 running Linux Mint
17. I'm shifting my server functions to a new fanless mini-PC with RS232
ports.
The old setup was installed around 2012 and I don't recall updating it
(other than the OS) since.
The new installation is weewx 4.2.0. I tried the .deb package; when I
couldn't get it working I purged it and tried again with the setup.py
method and Python 3. The file structure now looks rather like the old
setup.
Anyway, I can't get the new installation to work. No html page is
created. Here is a snippet of output from dmesg:

I have confirmed that I'm using the correct RS232 serial port on the new
server.
If I remove the serial cable from the new computer and plug it back into
the old one, the web page updates and continues to update, so the console
appears to be happy.
I note also that on the new system there is *no* /home/weewx/public_html
folder. But otherwise the file structure looks OK to this non-programmer.
I'll be most grateful for a solution or at least a way forward.
