Tom, Thanks. That corrected this issue. I generated that issue myself. I had to upgrade last week and now have RPi Bookwork and WeeWX 5.4.0. When looking at the system data in my browser, I noticed several differences from the older version. The system was now showing graphs for UV and Radiation and Battery status (for batteries I do not have). Also, the weekly, monthly and yearly data has not updated from the sqlite3 db I moved over from the previous install . I set out to correct the first issue by adding the "fields" to limit the display to those I wanted to see and that is what crashed the system. I am still working my way through restoring the historical graphs and data.. Thanks for your assistance.
