Uh oh... why in /var/lib/weewx
do I have a weewx.sdb-journal along with the weewx.sdb? The .sdb is
growing very slowly, and the sdb-journal is growing a bit faster.
FWIW, I have this:
pi@PI4B1:/var/www/html/weewx $ syslogf | grep -i retrieving
Nov 09 14:04:20 PI4B1 weewxd[6853]: DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage:
Retrieving 13 page(s); starting index= 0
Nov 09 14:06:18 PI4B1 weewxd[6853]: DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage:
Retrieving 12 page(s); starting index= 0
Nov 09 14:08:08 PI4B1 weewxd[6853]: DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage:
Retrieving 11 page(s); starting index= 0
The number of pages retrieving seems to be growing smaller. Also, no
html files have been produced since I added the correct driver to
weewx.conf.
???  Thanks
