hello Mickael,
all is good, I finished to install the "belchertown skin" also, there
was an error inside belchertown.py.
It needs to be replaced. "locale.format() with locale.format_string()".
have a good day
Patrick

The webserver you may be using is completely independent from your
WeeWX installation and how WeeWX was installed. In WeeWX you only
configure where the generated pages will be written to. Again, make
sure that both WeeWX and the webserver have sufficient rights to
access the files.

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.
