The only other thing I can think of is permissions. I assume you are running as phil when you try it manually and have it working. What user is weewx running as? If it isn’t phil, can you try manually as the the weewx user? If that’s not easy for you, you can send the permission (ls -l) on file and directory that we need to access.
In particular, starting with bookworm, a user’s home directory is not acessible by other users. As such, ls -ld /home/phil would be particularly useful command to run. On Jun 20, 2024, at 12:28 PM, philip....@gmail.com <philip.c.ow...@gmail.com> wrote:

You would see your results if it could not find the harmonic data. When you redid the setup, did you remember to create the /etc/xtide.conf file? What are its contents?
On mine, the file contains “/usr/share/xtide” In turn, /usr/share/xtide contains: harmonics-dwf-20100529-nonfree.tcd harmonics-dwf-20191229-free.tcd
Changed weewx.conf
Deleted forecast.sdb Restarted weewx Still no change after about 3hrs Still no data available

Philip,
You are using the non-free xtide data presumably to get data for Cromer. I don’t have that installed.
Let’s first confirm if this will work for Palo Alto. Change your weewx.conf to use location: Palo Alto Yacht Harbor, San Francisco Bay, California
While you are at it, remove the interval, duration and max_age lines.
You’ll then have an identical set up to me.
If that works, we can move on to Cromer. BTW, when we do move on, it would be good if you compare the same thing between the command line and within weewx. I see that you’ve used “Cromer” on the command line, but “Cromer, England” in weewx. Just put Cromer (no quotes) in weewx.conf. Sorry bad wording on my part. Didnt move anything just went into different sun-directories from the terminal prompt.
Have deleted forecast.sdb and get the same 2 lines every 5 min cycle and these are in the txt.file From the prompt phil@raspberrypi:~ $ /home/phil/xtide-2.15.5/tide -l Cromer I get Cromer tides so that seems to be working The 2 lines are in the txt file along with my weewx.conf [[xtide]] info.

My god. Don’t be moving the program around. It was built it /home/phill/xtide-2.15.5. Leave it there and point prog to it.
You need to be able to execute whatever the prog line says. For example: In my case: prog = /home/jkline/software/xtide-2.15.5/tide So, I need to be able to execute: /home/jkline/software/xtide-2.15.5/tide
If that works, you’ll be good to go. ***Restart*** WeeWX and wait for it to decide to run the XTideThread again. If you have any further issues, send the XTideThread lines in the log.
The tide forecast doesn’t run very often. To hurry it along, you can stop weewx, delete the forecast.sdb database in the archive directory, restart weewx and wait for a 5 minute interval. That is when the forecast xtide thread will attempt to generate the data. Again, any issues, send the XTideThread lines in the log.
You should see something like this in the logs:

Actually, after the make, if you don’t see the tide program, do a “make tide”. And the check for the tide program.
If you see it, execute it. You should see some help info. If you see that, then go ahead and try it in weewx.
There is not point to doing anything else until you have a tide program that you can execute.
When you did the make, it didn’t create tide? Do make again and then send a listing of the directory. ls -l /home/phil/xtide-2.15.5 Added location = "Palo Alto Yacht Harbor, San Francisco Bay, California" prog = /home/phil/xtide-2.15.5/tide sudo apt install xtide-data Added /etc/xtide.conf with /usr/share/xtide where the harmonic is Still I get no tidal data If i do /home/phil/xtide-2.15.5/tide it comes back tide command not found

OK, the difference is that you are building on the full install of bookworm and I am building on lite. Try this for the configure step:
./configure --with-x=no
That *should* build what I am building (tide, but not xtide). I’m guessing this will work, but let me know. If it does, I’ll update the README.

Which tar did you use? You cannot use the file I sent you. Hi John
Built a fresh build using the Raspberry pi imager Loaded weewx All OK Then used
tar -zxvf xtide-2.15.5.tar.gz and changed to that directory then sudo apt-get install libpng-dev and then sudo apt-get install libtcd-dev ./ configure and then make and this time got make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/phil/xtide-2.15.5'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/phil/xtide-2.15.5'
so then sudo apt-get install xtide-data and then in xtide-2.15.5 folder type tide and got phil@raspberrypi:~/xtide-2.15.5 $ tide
bash: tide: command not found
As this didnt work I stopped as I believe you said if that does not work its no good Have put all this in the text file I hope ??
I use the Raspberry Pi Imager with Pi5 and Pi 5 64 Bit software so Im assuming its the full package.What Im going to do is have a fresh install of Pi5 using the Raspberry Imager and load weewx again and start a fresh with your XTide-=2.15.5.tar.gz I shall copy all terminal responses to this post and see what you think. Im hoping ./configure and then make works. Will send you all terminal responses. Phil

If you try executing tide and it doesn’t work, you need not try anything further. The problem is the path /home/jkline (my home directory) is hardcoded by configure.
You need to be able to build xtide. If you want to try again, and configure fails again, I can have a look. Please [re-]confirm that you have installed the prerequisites. If configure fails again, there is no point to try make.
I am surprised that you can’t configure since we’re running the same OS. I have the lite version of Bookworm 64-bit installed. Do you have the full version?

It is not what I expected. I’ll give you the whole built directory tree:
From your home directory, remove the exiting xtide directory, then untar what you just downloaded:
rm -rf xtide-2.15.5 tar -zxvf xtide-2.15.5.tar.gz
Now try executing tide again. If that works, restart weewx and see if it works.

If so, grep XTideThread in the logs and send the results. How you look at logs will vary depending on how you have set this up (but probably journalctl). If you look at my 1015 post it has this in it

Philip,
Rather than try to walk you through building a package, attached is a zip of the tide executable that you need.
unzip it anywhere you like and point to it by following the instructions on the README page in github or in my email.
