Hi, Can you post a sanitised version of weewx.conf? You can use the wee_debug utility <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_debug_utility> with the —info command line option to produce a report that includes a sanitised version of weewx.conf. Just post the report here but do check the report first for any sensitive info, wee_debug should obfuscate passwords, user names etc but it’s not perfect.
