[...long answer follows just so it can be searched for in the future...] Multiple ways to connect weewx and nginx up under the hood:
- edit weewx.conf to set the document root to point to nginx's location - edit nginx/sites-enabled/default to point the document root to the weewx location - or symlink them in one direction or the other so weewx writes to the nginx tree, or so nginx reads from the weewx tree I tend to use symlinks because then I don't need to change either nginx 'or' weewx config files. But there's no wrong way probably. So since I use a symlink to connect weewx and nginx, for me the url would be http://yourhostname/weewx with one caveat....there's currently an error in the script that I need to fix. On line 138 it creates a symlink to link the weewx public_html into the nginx server's document root. # for a user 'vagrant' sudo ln -s /home/vagrant/weewx-data/public_html /var/www/html/weewx That's good for vagrant/VirtualBox which typically runs as user 'vagrant'.....but a pi user typically would run as user 'pi'.... So for a user 'pi' which I'm guessing you are using on a pi, try this: # for a user 'pi' sudo ln -s /home/pi/weewx-data/public_html /var/www/html/weewx [...shorter answer of what to do...] - For a user 'pi' run the revised command above and see if "ls /var/www/html/weewx" resolves and shows you all the files weewx created. If so you're likely good. - Then try to open http://yourhostname_or_ip/weewx/ and see if the weewx stuff is returned. Note - you 'might' see permission denied messages in your nginx logs initially. If so that is because the user/group nginx runs as can't read files in the pi user home directory. One brute-force way to fix it would be "sudo chmod 755 /home/pi" which lets all accounts read stuff in the 'pi' home directory. That's less than a great production thing to do from a security standpoint, but for a quick test locally it's probably ok. I need to tweak the script a little to be more flexible and more ok security-wise, but this should get you going.

It looks like the web page is under /root/weewx-data/public_html/ . . . how does a person view the web page using a browser? I'm just using the Simulator for now on a Pi 4B. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
