[weewx-user] Re: Upgrade from 2.6.3 to 3.8.0 issues
Tony, Sorry did not yet have a chance to reply. Yes, your assessment about install types is right; setup.py puts everything in /home/weewx whereas .deb or .rpm installs will install in a variety of directories, one of which is /etc/weewx. You must upgrade using the same method you installed/previously upgraded. Upgrade steps are covered in th Upgrade Guide (http://weewx.com/docs/upgrading.htm). There should be no reason why upgrading from 2.6.3 would not work, a lot of effort is made to ensure there is an upgrade path that is as painless as possible from any earlier version, certainly folks have upgraded successfully from earlier versions. If you have things working now you might like to look through the Upgrade Guide link I provided to make sure that you have covered off on any of the changes/steps you need to make/be aware of in upgrading from 2.6.x to 3.8.0.

Hi All, After examining the directory structure, it appears that original install was not done with setup.py. I had used the Debian install procedure. I attempted to update with the same but still go stuck accessing the archive. Decided "enough" and backed up my customization and weewx.sdb. Did a uninstall and made sure everything was gone. Did a fresh Debian install, let it build a new DB(this took awhile). I made sure everything was working. Moved my original DB over and let it update also. So far so good running the stock config and skins. I'll slowly start adding in my customization one at a time to ensure they work. I guess my old version was just that.. Too old for the update to work correctly. Thanks, TonyF On Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 11:30:22 AM UTC-8, Tony F wrote: > > Thanks Gary, > > I used procedure for setup.py to attempt upgrade.

Thanks Gary, I used procedure for setup.py to attempt upgrade. I unzipped and copied the upgrade package over to /weewx-3.8.0 - modified setup.cfg home = /etc/weewx<- location of my old weewx install ./setup.py build sudo ./setup.py install It did it's thing, I check to make sure my old weewx.conf was saved. Looked like it worked! Manually started weewx /etc/init.d/weewx start I checked syslog and it appeared to be running. Initially FTP could not connect to my webserver(which is a third party site) I checked and found out it was down at the time. Eventually it was able to connect and update the webpage. Then I checked the website a few hours later and noticed it hadnt been updated. Checked syslog and it was complaining as noted. I attempted a restart a number of times and even a power cycle on the PI but still will not start correctly. I ran weewx_debug and attached the output for analysis.
