First thought is a permissions issue, but the error message is usually more
explicit when it's that. I don't have a running instance of lighttpd
anymore so I'm not sure how it treats paths / files. Mine is running with
apache and the weewx-venv set up.
The database that exists at /home/lucien/weewx-data/archive/weewx.sdb; I
assume is readable by the main weewx process and has valid contents.
When I get a moment I'll do a simulation setup using lighttpd.
My direct email address can be found within the various files.
wxobs/skin.conf has it at the top.
Send, to that address, your wxobs/skin.conf file
your /var/www/html/weewx/wxobs/index.php file
and your @include file. That file is referenced around line 62 of the
index.php file. The following snippets shows
'/usr/share/php/wxobs_weatherpi.inc' but I need the one from your path.
