I got it working. I'm not sure exactly why but I think the problem was
related to running the site with https while running Belchertown with
mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0. As soon as I amended my apache2 config so that
weewx was running unencrypted with htttp instead of https then it started
working. I plan to subsequently amend apache2 and weewx/Belchertown to run
encrypted with ssl and https. As an FYI,
my weewx/Belchertown config files that worked are as follows:
weewx.conf:
[[MQTT]]
server_url = mqtt://<user>:<password>@localhost:1883/
topic = weather
unit_system = US
binding = archive, loop
aggregation = aggregate
Belchertown skin.conf:
# MQTT Websockets defaults
mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1
mqtt_websockets_host = "zeebytes.org"
mqtt_websockets_port = 9001
mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0
mqtt_websockets_topic = "weather/loop"
disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000
