You are expected to know how to customize the setup if you want to run a relatively rarely used web server like lighttpd or the many other ones out there to pick from. I'd suggest trying a google for 'lighttpd forums' and checking out the forums for that web server specifically. The weewx documentation is light on permissions for a basic debian install. > It seems many weewx installations are in home directories, not as Debian > root installs. > > http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#installation_methods looks pretty clear to me. There are two ways to install. The legacy 'setup.py' way puts everything in one /home/weewx directory. The later pre-packaged packaged version puts things in the os-expected locations all through the filesystem. The user gets to decide which way they want to go. Where things go is also in the Users Guide at http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Where_to_find_things There are no tutorials explaining how to set up a Raspbian (Raspberry Pi > OS) with weewx and lighttpd. > > Please spend a little of the energy you spend complaining and write one and contribute it. The docs cannot possibly be expected to handle all of the dozens of possible web server packages. That's an unreasonable expectation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
