Perhaps he edited the file and forgot to stop+restart weewx ?

Suggest trying:
     ps axu | grep weewx

A typical output would look like:

    # ps axu | grep weewx | grep -v grep
    root     24655 41.2 39.2 165944 48372 ?        Sl    2021 5890:56 
/usr/bin/python3 /home/weewx/bin/weewxd --daemon 
--pidfile=/var/run/weewx.pid /home/weewx/weewx.conf
