Hi

Yes its a little drastic

But several hours worth of customizing something else may be problematic

Originally i had installed the latest weewx 3.8 using the new automated 
installation package but i was unfamiliar with the new directory structure 
so i un-installed it and used to older setup method

something maybe crossed linked

upon reinstalling everything is working ok (so far) :-)

thanks for your help

Shouldn't be any need to reinstall Linux, that's a bit drastic. If you do 
reinstall weeWX make sure you remove all the remnants, if the issue is old 
remnants still being on the system it is possible that an uninstall will not 
remove them. You might want to go through all of the locations mentioned in the 
User's Guide (http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Where_to_find_things).
