The light has gone on! The two replies have helped me figure it out.
I used the suggested command:
sudo ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf
Previously, in other installs, I had gone ahead with the instructions about
setting up a daemon and then used the 'start' and 'stop' commands when I
needed to. Of course, the daemon does NOT spew data directly on the
terminal screen. This time, I thought "I won't set up the daemon yet" and
just tried the manual start command. I thought it would be a one-time
equivalent of the daemon starting the program on boot up. It isn't.
The link Gary gave to the 'regular' install instructions mentions the
spewing of data on the screen. This isn't mentioned in the "Installation
using setup.py" quick guide I was using and I wasn't smart enough to
realize the two suggested ways of starting weewx cause different outputs.
So, problem solved! I followed the daemon instructions and weewx seems to
be running fine. I checked the syslog - seems fine - and when I browse to
the html page, I am seeing simulated data. Yahoo!
Now, to wrestle with nginx...
Thanks!

I experiment with another RPi to try out new things, usually using

simulated data began scrolling by on the terminal. I finally stopped it
using Cntrl-C. Same thing when I restarted again.

a lot of time trying to ferret out an obscure error if it isn't obvious.
