Try to use command line raher than the GUI when using weewx - it is much
much easier.

Thoughts - sure.
oops - preface those 'ls' commands with "sudo" ala "sudo ls /home/weewx"
and the like please.

ok - so you have found the command line, and you have started the weewx
daemon
there should be no more output to the screen from weewx when it is running
as a daemon.
there will be entries in the log though.
if you want to see weewx output on the screen
1. stop weewx with sudo /etc/init.d/weew
I can stop it but I can't run it from the command line. don't know how. :(

ran this command
/usr/bin/weewxd
and got a ton of info on how to run it, config it, etc. but still don't
know how to get it up on the VNC screen or make it report WX Bug. that may
just be beuyond me.

you don't want to know! ha! ran the command to see the log and I think I
know why it's not posting. posting isn't enabled...

the log output, as far as it went, looks perfectly ok to me - and as may be

data should be being posted to wunderground - so not sure what you mean
when you say data is not being posted! where is it not 'posting' to??

Posting only occurs at archive intervals - which was the reason for the
other questions!!
Maybe you have not waited long enough
Without a full log from start of weewx thru to at least 2 archive intervals
it is hard to diagnose anything more
The log snippet you did post showed nothing obviously
the snippet you got was the whole screen. there's not more. if you give
me a command I can get you more.
I haven't been online in 13 days. so I think I've waited long enough!
I hate stuff like this - the power was off for a couple of hours and what
had been working perfectly and smoothly i
You've said you have just started weewx in the past few minutes!! The time
is taken from start of weewx!!
just attach the complete log file as a file to your posting

Hi Mark, if your question about how to get a log file is still open, you
can do this:
sudo grep weewx /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/syslog
I show both syslog.1 and syslog because syslog recycles periodically.
If you want to store the results,
sudo grep weewx /var/log/syslog.1 /
Rich
Whilst you are correct I think it is better/easier to log weewx messages to
their own logfile in the first place
see

Mark,
Try systemctl, your post has a 1 (number) rather than l (letter)

wow. complete fail! Sorry about that. okay, if you type it correctly
here is what you get:
sudo systemctl status weewx
● weewx.service - LSB: weewx weather system

Active: active (running) since Mon 2018-05-14 21:52:29
Judging by your log and the fact you had a power interruption I suspect that
you may have corrupt station memory (have a look at corrupt station memory in
the User's Guide
http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#html_generated_but_not_updated) . This
occurs sometimes when power in unexpectedly cut
so that says that the report generator is running every 30 minutes - which
is the archive interval specified in your station according to the log file
you posted.
can you attach your weewx.conf file please so we cn try and see why
wunderground is not being posted when there are no apparent erro
since I missed the obvious (no data records added to archive) I think I'd
better get some sleep and leave this to Gary!!

WOOH! You sir, are da man! I dumped the memory - using one of
those commands below (can't remember now which one!) and ka-bang. Started
weewx and I am online and reporting!
Thanks so much everybody!!

You should really change your archive interval to 5 minutes (300 seconds)
in your station though..
You can also do this using wee_device - see the utilities document - if you
can remember which format of command actually worked for you

tell me what this does and why I should change it. I'm open to doing so -
just don't know the "why"

If you are happy with 30 minute updates then leave it as it is - but in
that case I would suggest altering your .conf file to match the archive
interval (not that it makes any difference when you are using hardware
record generation) - for the sake of tidiness more than anything else!!
Most pe
and how would I alter the config file? and I'm still not really clear on
what we're doing here. something is happening every 30 min that should
happen faster. what?
off to bed. will work on this tomorrow. #victorious!

Mark,
The archive interval controls a couple of things. Firstly it determines how
often weeWX saves data to the database. If using every 30 minutes then weeWX
will save a record to the database that covers that 30 minute period. For
outside temperature say, weeWX will save the average outside t
36 matches
