WeeWX 5.1.0 on Pi 5 MPiE and weewx.conf
Long-time fan of WeeWX.
Worked perfectly with my Meteo-Pi-Ethernet Logger and WeeWX 4.9.1
It sent its data directly to its built-in sites: (WL/WU/WOW/CWOP).
I was able to pause it once a minute for WeeWX to update my other recipient
sites: WeatherCloud, AWEKAS, Windy, OpenWeatherMap, PWS Weather,
WeatherCloud, Windfinder.
I bought a Pi 5 and installed V5.1 in November and tried to replicate this,
but tripped at the first hurdle - setting up weewx.conf.
Install was pip (Debian) with venv.
Somehow (operator error, for sure), I mislaid my 4.9.1 weewx.conf files, so
I couldn't trace the errors.
I was always editing it, so the host and port lines for 5.1 are the same as
with 4.9.1
I'm using the same Meteo-Pi Ethernet Logger, which continues to work
flawlessly.
I know v5.1 handles logging differently, so I get these errors

It's in Simulator mode: that part of weewx.conf untouched.
