Re: [weewx-user] Re: Upgraded to 5.0.1, DB is updating but not reflecting

Tom - Fantastic! It was a permissions issue, and your solution resolved it. 
That actually crossed my mind but wasn't sure how to resolve it. I am 
adding this to my notes for future reference. These notes certainly saved 
me when reinstalling, I remember the initial config of this and doing it 
all self hosted behind a reverse proxy took days!

2024-03-11 Thread Tom Keffer 
If I'm understanding correctly, you wish to publish to /var/www/html
directly, not /var/www/html/weewx. Without a log, it's hard to say what the
problem is, but I would guess it's  a permissions issue. On the theory that
it is, try this:

1. You've asked the report engine to generate *both* SeasonsReport
*and* Belchertown.
I doubt this is what you want. Disable the Seasons skin by setting
"enable=false" under [[SeasonsReport]].

2. Under [Belchertown], set

HTML=/var/www/html

3. Change permissions. By default, user 'weewx' owns /var/www/html/weewx,
*not* /var/www/html. To change:

*sudo chown -R weewx:weewx /var/www/html*

4. Restart weewx

If that doesn't work, you will have to include a log. See the wiki
article *Help!
Posting to weewx-user
* for how
to get a good log.
