It looks like you are trying to run "weectl station reconfigure". Is that right? And, you're getting a permissions error.
You didn't say which version of v5.0 you are using, but I'll assume v5.0.2. With this version, all files in /etc/weewx should be owned by user "weewx", group "weewx". Check to make sure that this is so. Here is what I get when I check on an Ubuntu virtual machine: *ubuntu@fit-bushbuck*:*~*$ ls -al /etc/weewx total 88 drwxrwsr-x 12 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *.* drwxr-xr-x 96 root root 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *..* drwxrwsr-x 3 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *bin* drwxrwsr-x 8 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *examples* drwxrwsr-x 2 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *import* drwxrwsr-x 2 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *init.d* drwxrwsr-x 2 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *logrotate.d* drwxrwsr-x 4 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *logwatch* drwxrwsr-x 2 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *rsyslog.d* drwxrwsr-x 8 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *skins* drwxrwsr-x 2 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *systemd* drwxrwsr-x 2 weewx weewx 4096 Mar 23 14:33 *udev* -rw-rw-r-- 1 weewx weewx 19467 Mar 23 14:33 weewx.conf -rw-rw-r-- 1 weewx weewx 19463 Feb 9 23:03 weewx.conf-5.0.2 Note how all files are owned by user "weewx", group "weewx". Because of this, they can be modified by anyone in the group "weewx". The install process makes sure that you are in that group. To check: just type "groups". Here's what I get when I try it in the Ubuntu virtual machine: *ubuntu@fit-bushbuck*:*~*$ groups ubuntu adm dialout cdrom floppy sudo audio dip video plugdev netdev lxd weewx Note the user weewx at the end. See if you get something similar. If not, try logging back out, then back in. Then try your reconfigure again. -tk On Sat, Mar 23, 2024 at 2:26 PM Daniel Fourlas <sv1...@gmail.com> wrote: > You can register the station on weewx.com, where it will be included in a > map.
