Hi Matthew As said I made e new installation (Raspi4, bullseye) now version 5.0.2-1 according installation guide.
Weewx installs: Entpacken von weewx (5.0.2-1) ... weewx (5.0.2-1) wird eingerichtet ... Using weewx:weewx as user:group Creating /etc/default/weewx Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf Processing configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf Setting record_generation to software. Saving configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf Adding system group weewx...done Adding system user weewx...done Adding user wag to group weewx Installing systemd units Installing udev rules Creating skins directory /etc/weewx/skins Creating user extension directory /etc/weewx/bin/user Configuring database directory /var/lib/weewx Configuring reporting directory /var/www/html/weewx Setting permissions weewx:weewx on /etc/weewx Enabling startup using systemd Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/weewx.service → /lib/systemd/system/weewx.service. Starting weewxd using systemd Next step: weewx takes stored records from the weatherstation and write to database. That worked. After this the same result: Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.imagegenerator: Unable to save to file '/var/www/html/weewx/yearrx.png' [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/var/www/html/weewx/yearrx.png': Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: INFO weewx.imagegenerator: Generated 0 images for report SeasonsReport in 3.97 seconds Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: Caught unrecoverable exception in generator 'weewx.reportengine.CopyGenerator' Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/var/www/html/weewx' Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** Traceback (most recent call last): Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/reportengine.py", line 220, in run Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** obj.start() Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: Traceback (most recent call last): Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/reportengine.py", line 220, in run Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: obj.start() Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/reportengine.py", line 409, in start Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: self.run() Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/reportengine.py", line 560, in run Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ncopy += weeutil.weeutil.deep_copy_path(path, html_dest_dir) Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: File "/usr/share/weewx/weeutil/weeutil.py", line 1807, in deep_copy_path Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: os.makedirs(d, exist_ok=True) Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: File "/usr/lib/python3.9/os.py", line 225, in makedirs Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: mkdir(name, mode) Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/var/www/html/weewx' Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/reportengine.py", line 409, in start Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** self.run() Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/reportengine.py", line 560, in run Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** ncopy += weeutil.weeutil.deep_copy_path(path, html_dest_dir) Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weeutil/weeutil.py", line 1807, in deep_copy_path Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** os.makedirs(d, exist_ok=True) Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** File "/usr/lib/python3.9/os.py", line 225, in makedirs Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** mkdir(name, mode) Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** PermissionError: [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/var/www/html/weewx' Feb 13 12:40:54 hp weewxd[4425]: ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** Generator terminated Next step: Gave permission acc. wiki, and restarted with "sudo systemctl start weewx".
