Unfortunately I can no longer provide that information, I realize it may have helped identify a bug and I apologize for that. I nuked my raspberrypi installation and spun up a fresh OS copy. I am happy to report I have Weewx working properly now. For history: I was running the buster raspbian release. I had been using weewx since 2015 and was running 4.8 when i attempted the upgrade to 5.0.2, first using the pip method, then the package install method. From what others have posted my weewx.service file appeared to be correct, and files appeared to be located in the appropriate directories. I know I had old files around in different places.
Thanks again, all, for your help. -Joseph On Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at 5:08:53 PM UTC-5 Tom Keffer wrote: > Discussed this with Matthew. Could you post the contents of a few things > for us? > > 1.
