OK. Should work. Can you redo the install and reconfigure capturing and pasting here everything that you type and the exact responses you get.
Also be aware the driver makes some poor choices and forces your database to Metric units. This in itself is not a problem, but if you have installed and started WeeWX with another driver such as the simulator then you will likely have a US customary database and that will cause an error. Easy solution is to delete the database (if it exists) before starting WeeWX after installing the driver. The driver also forces the Standard skin to display obs with Metric units, if you are using the Seasons skin it will be unaffected but if using the Standard skin and you prefer other units that is just a cosmetic problem and easily fixed in weewx.conf under [StdReport] [[StandardReport]] [[[Units]]] [[[[Groups]]]].
