Thanks Vince, Yes, weewx runs perfectly when i start it manually. If i reboot, it does not start automatically. I'm convinced the previous install of weewx has left some confusion on the system. In fact, i tried to install weewx from deb again and it also wasn't starting automatically. I think things are just confusing, I may need to start from scratch.
@Chiny, thanks for the reply. I did initially have weewx installed via deb (like you) and then sudo service weewx start used to work perfectly. But since i installed a 2nd station and wanted to play with weewx-multi i ran into trouble and at that point tried to install weewx via setup.py in order to troubleshoot. In the process just made more trouble 😂 On Mon, Jul 5, 2021 at 11:04 AM vince <vinceska...@gmail.com> wrote: > It's rather hard to tell what it's doing based on you (re)starting the > service versus running manually perhaps. > > At Jul 5 08:04:52 I see a keyboard interrupt then another start at > 08:05:17 which seems to run.
