in addition, look up

https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/utilities/weectl-station/#create-a-new-station-data-directory

there you find the example how to create a Vantage station (of course the values for altitude, longitude, latitude have to be replaced by your values)

|weectl station create --no-prompt --driver=weewx.drivers.vantage \ --altitude="400,foot" --latitude=45.1 --longitude=-105.9 \ --location="My Special Station"|

the result should be a properly configured weewx.conf

    I'm not sure if you have understood the weewx concepts ...

    What would be the use of changing skins - except you don't like
    the Seasons skin ....
    But  before you do this, you better get weewx running with the
    default Seasons skin.
    Once running, you can add or switch skins.

    You probably want to use data from your station - then you have
    to change your station, not the skin

    You need to install the driver for your station ...

    So you have to install the respective weewx driver for your
    station which would then replace the Simulator station.

    What's your station ? Brand, model ?

    I'm now trying:
    change the skin and get out of simulation to real data.
    Unfortunately, I have no luck with it.
    I'm using the following:

    # Stop the daemonsudosystemctlstopweewx # Reconfigure to use
    your hardwareweectlstationreconfigure # Delete the old
    databaserm/var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb # Start the
    daemonsudosystemctlstartweewx
    But seems it does not reflect my selected meteo station and
    keeps using Simulation.

    The same with skin which I try to change in*etc/weewx/weewx.conf
    *but it does not reflect anything.

    I'm sorry for these questions, your support is very helpful.

            @Sidney - I think you are confusing a few things and are
            comparing apples with pears.
            You may not be aware of the functionality of and the
            need to have a webserver (program).
            CumulusMX has an inbuilt webserver, but not one which is
            available to users other than the CMX users.
            So when you can reach CMX via a defined port and the URL
            of your weewx server e.g. IP:8998 this doesn't mean that
            a generally available webserver is installed.

            So, as Vince already mentioned, a webserver like nginx
            or apache2 needs to be installed for you to see the
            weewx skin via a browser via the URL.
            You can of course open /var/www/html/weewx/index.html in
            a web browser by loading it into the browser, but to
            reach it via the URL ip-address/weewx a webserver is
            needed which has access to the html-root (default
            /var/www/html) and subdirectories and replies to your
            http request.

                Did you even install a normal webserver such as

                        correct, but weewx (its Seasons skin)

                        The update interval is defined in
