For some reason, your configuration file is not getting set up for the specific weather station and driver you are using.
Perhaps you can give us some details about what you mean by, "repopulated the new .conf file with the correct data"? Did you do this by hand? If it happens again, you can try to reconfigure by using the utility wee_config <http://www.weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#Action_--reconfigure>: *wee_config --reconfigure* It will prompt you for information about your station, including which driver to use. -tk On Mon, Apr 25, 2022 at 3:45 AM Dave McCreath <[email protected]> wrote: > Good Morning. > > My system runs on a Mk4 RPI using Debian Buster. > > I'll start by saying that I'm not confident using Linux at all, but I try > my best. > > I upgraded my system to 4.5.1 a month after it came out and I had a > similar issue to this one so rolled back using a back up.
