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
