If your first WeeWX install was v3.9.0 or later then the Seasons skin will
have been installed and should be enabled by default. You can check if it
is enabled and generating files by looking at the log, you should see
something like:
May 2 00:15:28 aurora weewx[612] INFO weewx.cheetahgenerator: Generated 6
files for report SeasonsReport in 1.26 seconds
May 2 00:15:30 aurora weewx[612] INFO weewx.imagegenerator: Generated 14
images for report SeasonsReport in 1.34 seconds
May 2 00:15:30 aurora weewx[612] INFO weewx.reportengine: Copied 0 files to
/home/weewx/public_html
If you don't it is likely that the Seasons skin is not enabled. Check the
enable setting under [StdReport] [[SeasonsReport]] in weewx.conf. It should
be enable = True.
To enable the FTP skin you need to edit weewx.conf and locate the
[StdReport] [[FTP]] stanza, it will likely look something like:
[[FTP]]
# FTP'ing the results to a webserver is treated as just another
report,
# albeit one with an unusual report generator!
skin = Ftp
# If you wish to use FTP, set "enable" to "true", then
# fill out the next four lines.
# Use quotes around passwords to guard against parsing errors.
enable = false
user = replace_me
password = "replace_me"
server = replace_me # The ftp server name, e.g, www.myserver.org
path = replace_me # The destination directory, e.g., /weather
# Set to True for an FTP over TLS (FTPS) connection. Not all servers
# support this.
secure_ftp = False
# To upload files from something other than what HTML_ROOT is set
# to above, specify a different HTML_ROOT here.
#HTML_ROOT = public_html
# Most FTP servers use port 21
port = 21
# Set to 1 to use passive mode, zero for active mode
passive = 1
You need to set enable = True and then work through the rest of the
settings/comments and replace the 'replace_me' entries with appropriate
settings for your web host/setup. Unless you are doing something other than
plain vanilla FTP the only other setting you *may* need to change is
HTML_ROOT (you will need to uncomment it first). But I would try the basics
first. One tip, enclose your passwords in single or double quotes. Save
weewx.conf and restart WeeWX. Monitor the log for errors and check you web
host to see if the files have uploaded. If you run into problems have a
read of the [[FTP]] stanza in the User's Guide
<http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#config_FTP> (you should do this
anyway). If you still can't work it out edit weewx.conf, set debug = 1 and
restart WeeWX. Check the log, it may give you more clues. If still having
problems post a log extract here showing the full WeeWX startup and a
couple of report cycles.
