hello Vince,
Answers in red in your advice.
now, I try to install the "Belchertown Skin", are there any specific
considerations for installation in a Venv environment ?
Particularly regarding the Apache2 configuration.
Thanks
Patrick

Patrick:
* Whether you are using 'pip' or 'dpkg' does not matter at all.
Weewx v5 runs as the user who the venv runs under (pip) or it
runs as a generic user weewx (dpkg), neither of which is root.
You have to ensure that whatever directory you want to log to is
writable by that user. OK for me
* If you want to use rsyslogd (which I use, FWIW), then if you
install the unaltered util/rsyslog.d/weewx file in to
/etc/rsyslog.d (and restart rsyslogd), the default will log all
your weewx log entries to /var/log/weewx/weewxd.log and it will
all be in one place. You'll need to add yourself to group 'adm'
to be able to read those files without using sudo. Also remember
to also install the provided util/logrotate.d/weewx file to
/etc/logrotate.d so that the logs rotate automatically. it works
with this solution suits me.
* If you want to log via rsyslog to someplace else, you'll need to
edit those config files to point to wherever you want, and set
permissions correctly so rsyslogd (which runs as user=root
group=adm) has permissions to write, and so that logrotate also
has permissions to rotate the logs automatically. If you move
things around, the onus is on you to make it all work as the
system integrator. If you take the defaults you don't need to
worry that stuff.
There is 'nothing' special or even remotely weewx related in the
permission issues you are seeing. This is all very basic how *nix
permissions work.

Yes, I understand,
but I'd really like to try the other solution!

It works and everything is contained in the config. No external
configs, no symlinking, nothing else to do. That's why I'm using
this ever since I stumbled across it.
