An issue that someone here can help with - upgrade problem that made me revert back - ?
I have a custom version of weewx that I attempoted to upgrade from 4.10.2 to 5.0.0. I simply used sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade then answered "no" to all the questions about keeping using the new configuration files. It works perfectly except I have one problem. I need all logging to be in weewx.log (instead of syslog) and in a different directory instead of var/log. In previous updates I had searched my entire system for every instance of weewx.conf and updated all of them wherever they have var/log and var/log/syslog to the other directory and the name weewx.log. None of those changes to every weewx.conf file made any difference - and my config file still said 4.10.2 (why)? Since I could not figure out how to keep my logging in the same weewx.log in a different directory that var/log, I just did a full restopre to my system so I now have the old systrem Working perfectly but not upgraded. I want to get to 1.5 - but need the logging in weewx.log onlyand that file should be in a diffrerent directory - and to keep my same configuration but show and be actually 5.0.0 in stationregistry. How do I do that properly?
