> I did delete the line and replaced it What do you mean by “replaced it”?
Let’s log the variables so we can see which one is the string being complained about.
Edit rtgd.py in bin/user by adding the following line immediately above line 2894: log.info(“ts: %s (%s), self.cache[obs][‘ts’]: %s (%s), max_age: %s (%s)” % (ts, ts, self.cache[obs][‘ts’], self.cache[obs][‘ts’], max_age, max_age))
After you’ve added the line, restart weewx.
Lastly, paste into your reply the line above printed in the log immediately before the error you are getting.
Hi John,
I never set max_cache_age, but I did search weewx.conf and skin.conf. It was found in weewx.conf and is set to 600, I guess by default. I did delete the line and replaced it, just in case, but the error returned when weewx was restarted.

I don’t see how this error can happen unless you have max_cache_age set to a string in weewx.conf (or skin.conf). Have you set max_cache_age? Glen,
You are correct again! Install went well. Now on restart:

When i tried to install six using the package install, I got:

I have a copy of weewx-realtime_gauge-data here:
The caveat is that I have long incorporated these gauges into my private skin, so I no longer run this. Never-the-less, if you want to give it a try; I think I, and others, can get it running for you. Yes, it is! Perhaps I should take a break! I still need the weewx-realtime_gauge-data!
Thanks so much!

You mention it should be /var/www/html... in your introduction. Yet the log shows otherwise -Typo?
