No you need to install it. Have a look here http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#integrating_with_webserver

 

This is a distillation of the instructions to install Apache and PHP and associated libraries: -

 

sudo apt update
 
sudo apt install apache2
 
sudo apt-get install php
 
sudo apt-get install php-cli php-fpm php-json php-sqlite3 php-zip php-gd  php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath
 
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php
 
sudo a2enmod php7.3
 
sudo systemctl restart apache2

I was under the impression that Apache2 was installed as part of the weewx installation already.  I am concerned that I will break something if I just start installing things without understanding them fully if they are already installed.  So if I  install Apache2, PHP7.x and the PHP libraries as you suggest, is there a chance I will break what is already working (in the case of Apache2 if it is already installed)?  

 

Is there a good tutorial somewhere for these installations?  There seem to be a number of versions of PHP which is also confusing.

OK,

 

I also have the Seasons and Belchertown skin installed as well as my own Weather34.

 

I would go ahead and install Apache2, PHP7.x and the PHP libraries. When you install the libraries you should pick up things like curl along the way.

 

Then install Weather34 following the instructions carefully.

 

Belchertown is also very well documented and is straightforward to install. Some people have a problem setting up MQTT but again I found it straight forward to setup my own server on my own Pi. There is excellent support from Pat and Belchertown users if you get into trouble.

Ian, I should have noted that I'm running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with the full version of the Raspberry Pi OS.  Weewx has been running fine for over a month using the weatherflow extension (Tempest).  At this point I haven't installed anything else and have been using the seasons skin.  I wanted to start playing around with Belchertown and Weather34 now that I have gotten my feet wet.

 

I had tried the "php -v" command already but it did not work and returned "command not found".  Here is what I get when I run the two commands:

 

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ apachectl -v

bash: apachectl: command not found

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apachectl -v

sudo: apachectl: command not found

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ php -v

bash: php: command not found

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo php -v

sudo: php: command not found

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 

 

Also, what about curl?

To determine the versions of Apache and PHP installed: -

 

From the command line run: -

 

apachectl -v

php -v

Hi,

I assume you are running a Debian based OS, Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu perhaps?

In the installation instructions for weewx-Weather34 it says:

 

"This installation guide assumes that you are already reasonably familiar with WeeWX and that it is already installed on your computer along with a webserver, php and curl."

 

The Apache2 webserver is installed as part of the weewx installation, but how do I know if php and curl are installed?  Is there an easy way to check this?  If I don't have these what is the best way to install them?

 

Also, later in the instation instructions it says:

 

"IMPORTANT. After installing PHP please make sure you install all the PHP modules appropriate for your version of PHP. Failure to due so may mean that forecasts and current conditions fail to update. This is an example for PHP7.3 modules on a Debian based distribution: -

sudo apt-get install php-cli php-fpm php-json php-sqlite3 php-zip php-gd php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php

sudo a2enmod php7.3

sudo systemctl restart apache2"

 

How do I determine what version of PHP I have and once I know that, how do I ensure that I have installed the right modules for that version?  I did the "Debian based distribution" when I installed weewx.
