Re: [weewx-user] Frequent weewx exiting with Vantage 6555 (WeatherIP)

[Ryan Stasel]

Agreed, but it starts back up fine.  So I’m not clear what permission it might be complaining about. :/  All the errors prior seem to indicate the console isn’t responding.  On Jun 4, 2025, at 12:47, Tom Keffer <tkef...@gmail.com> wrote:  Judging from the last entry in the log, it could be a permissions issue.

It's up now though. (I restarted weewx and it recovered and downloaded the archived records).
