Vince,
Thanks for your help patience and suggestions they all worked and it's
now updating and working error free.

Super annoying.
All you need to do is overwrite manager.py with the to-be-released
copy in the link I mentioned. Then try again and it'll work.

There was a previous thread here with that too. It’s a bug. If
your client works replace manager.py with the current one in the

wget

and just drop it into place over the one you have from 5.2

Pete - this came up only 7 days ago in an extended thread.
See
https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/6zJCXEte-js/m/eSITjnCwCAAJ
for the howto. Be sure to copy your existing db and work
off a temporary copy while doing this just in case.

Since you're using SQLite, ignore anything related to MySQL.

I started out with wview and switched over to weewx
many years ago and used whatever the default database
was and because it worked just continued to use the
same data file and until now I guess didn't worry
about any changes in the structure.
Now that I'm moving from Rocky 8 to Rocky 9 I now
need to install weewx v5. I would have to loose the
14 years of data that I already have, so I'd like to
keep it if at all possible
from weewx.conf
This section defines various databases.
[Databases]
# A SQLite database is simply a single file.
[[archive_sqlite]]
database_name = weewx-lc.sdb
database_type = SQLite
# file weewx-lc.sdb
weewx-lc.sdb: SQLite 3.x database, last written using
SQLite version 3034001
So how can/do I upgrade the data to be compatible
with v5?
Thanks

First off, I know absolutely nothing about
databases and haven't install anything related
to a database, up to now.
Using Thomas' instructions from
https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Switching-to-the-new-wview_extended-schema
# mysql command not found,
so I installed mysql-8.0.43-1.el9_6.x86_64
when I run the command
# mysql> GRANT select, update, create, delete,
insert ON weewx_new.* TO weewx@localhost;
I ended up with a file called GRANT, but
not weewx.sdb_new
So I guess that I'm completely out of my depth
with not a clue what to do next.
Any pointers on what to do next would be greatly
appreciated.

If you have 11 years of old data you likely
have the original old wview compatible schema
so I'd recommend you convert your db to the new
wview_extended schema and rebuild-daily. There
are lots of threads here with how to do that
using 'weectl database'. In particular,
Belchertown needs a few elements missing from
the old schema. While you can add them each
manually, it's (to me) easier to just upgrade
the db and not need to worry it. Regardless,
you'll need to rebuild-daily afterward to build
the summary tables.
Seasons and Belchertown each have their own
NOAA trees that need to be generated one time
on first startup if you didn't pre-seed your
output HTML tree with previously generated
files. That can take some time, once. Seasons
typically is lightning fast once this is done,
so if it took 145 seconds the first time, this
might have been why. It should speed up after
the NOAA files for your old data have been
generated.

I downloaded v1.6 several days ago so I

Once I had everything working I decided to

existing database with 11 years of
observations to ensure that once I attached
my weather station everything wold work
seamlessly, however that is not to be, I
now get this error
I'm testing this new installation in
simulator mode, and have copied my existing
database file with, 11 years of

over to test that everything is working,
but unfortunately am now getting this error.
Now when I start up weewx I get this

The uploaded version of belchertown.py

v1.6 release. That version had a number
of issues that have since been fixed.
Replacing belchertown.py with the one
vince pointed to should, hopefully, fix
the problem.

Your weewx.conf works ok versus the
uajqq version in github, but the
belchertown.py that you uploaded here
looks like it's not that version.
In the belchertown.py skin you
uploaded line 244 is the locale error
if belchertown_debug:
log.error(
*f"Locale: Error using locale
{self.generator.skin_dict["Extras"]["belchertown_locale"]}.
"*
f"This locale may not be
installed on your system and you may
see unexpected results. "
f"Belchertown skin JavaScript will try
to use this locale. Full error: %{error}"
)
But around line 222 (much different)
in
https://github.com/uajqq/weewx-belchertown-new/blob/master/bin/user/belchertown.py
I see:
if belchertown_debug:
log.error(
f"Error using locale
{belchertown_locale}. "
"This locale may not be
installed on your system and you may
see unexpected results. "
f"Python could not set the
requested locale, but Belchertown skin
JavaScript will attempt to use the
provided locale string. Full error:
{error}"
)
So my wild guess is you have some
hacked/previous/miscellaneous/unknown
version of the forked skin. Perhaps
try installing the real one ?

- without knowing 'which' forked
version it might be difficult for
people to help.
How about running "weectl debug"
and attaching the output so folks
can see your setup....
Based on the error you mention,
best guess is you have [
something ] with a mismatched
number of [ and ] brackets.
