Still no further forward with this problem, but by setting loop_on_it=1 as Tom K suggested, I do at least have a working weather station website, albeit with repeated periods where it is not "live" and where graphs etc are always an hour or so out of date.
I have put the most recent log below, in case anyone has any more brainwaves that might solve this. In the meantime, I am having trouble stopping weewx - not sure if this is related to my ongoing pipe errors or not. When I type ps -aux|grep weewx I get root 535 5.6 6.1 117524 58128 ? Sl 10:16 2:42 python2 /usr/share/weewx/weewxd --daemon --pidfile=/var/run/weewx.pid /etc/weewx/weewx.conf pi 2130 0.0 0.0 4368 564 pts/0 S+ 11:04 0:00 grep --color=auto weewx And, then typing sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop produces Stopping weewx (via systemctl): weewx.service. but then repeating the grep command, still shows the 535 process still running? How do I stop weewx - do I have to use kill 535 perhaps? Thanks David.
