OK, I have vantage.conf (essentially weewx.conf renamed) and sdr.conf (a stripped down file only for uploading temperature data into sdr.sdb. Both run fine at the command line manunally
weewx-multi installed as per wiki
On a re-boot, only the vantage service runs.
Doing:
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start sdr
I get this result: (starting the vantage with "sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
vantage" throws the same error but it runs)

That failure error is greek to me and any advice would be appreciated.
weewx-multi and sdr.conf attached.
Any pointers to how this is done?
