It is used when installing and updating weewx. version = 4.5.1 ############################################################################## On Monday, April 26, 2021 at 9:43:05 PM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > Where does the log file say the files are being copied to? > Where does weewx.conf have for HTML_ROOT ? > > On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 7:35 PM Eric Koester <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I removed the init.d related files and copied the systemd files as you >> demonstrated. >> I can see the signs of it working: >> - the pid file '/var/run/weewx.pid' exists >> - after running this command 'sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog' I see weather >> station data being recieved every 10 seconds >> - the database file /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb got accessed when I >> entered 'sudo systemctl start weewx' >> >> However, there is still no index.html file in the /home/weewx/public_html >> directory. >> >> What other files and processes should I be seeing? >> On Monday, April 26, 2021 at 8:32:24 PM UTC-5 Eric Koester wrote: >> >>> I am willing to try switching to the systemd method. >>> It would still be nice to know why the publishes instructions for init.d >>> startup method did not work, as expected. >>> >>> I've been using various Debian Linux systems at home since 2007, and >>> using init.d and update-rc.d commands to autostart software the whole time. >>> This is the first time I've seen it fail to work, and that's the reason >>> for the posting. >>> After following the published instructions, I'm trying to understand >>> what has gone wrong, >>> >>> Earlier, I was trying to troubleshoot the startup problem by pointing >>> out what was working and what wasn't working. >>> What can be done to troubleshoot? >>> Thanks. >>> On Saturday, April 24, 2021 at 4:24:37 PM UTC-5 vince wrote: >>> >>>> On Saturday, April 24, 2021 at 2:06:20 PM UTC-7 [email protected] >>>> wrote: >>>> >>>>> In the 2nd line of my first post, I gave the link to the directions I >>>>> followed. >>>>> Here's that link, again: https://weewx.com/docs/setup.htm >>>>> >>>>> Section 4 tells Debian users to enter a bunch of init.d commands: >>>>> >>>>> *cd /home/weewx* >>>>> *sudo cp util/init.d/weewx.debian /etc/init.d/weewx* >>>>> *sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/weewx* >>>>> *sudo update-rc.d weewx defaults 98* >>>>> *sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start* >>>>> >>>>> Those are wrong and outdated? >>>>> >>>> If so, the install instruction page needs to be updated! >>>>> >>>> >>>> Not a bug. >>>> This comes up frequently. >>>> >>>> Weewx supports many operating systems and versions, including some old >>>> ones that do not have systemd. >>>> Fortunately the newer os versions support both init.d 'and' systemd >>>> ways of getting there. >>>> >>>> So on a modern ubuntu/debian/centos you can use either the legacy >>>> init.d way or the newer systemd way. >>>> Your choice. >>>> >>>> FWIW, It is assumed that people who use setup.py have the >>>> skills/experience to hook weewx into the startup sequence in the way >>>> 'they' >>>> want, and know how to do that.
