Troubleshooting¶
These are some common problems users encounter when installing and running WeeWX.
Hardware Problems
Software Problems
Meteorological Problems
If you have problems, here are a few things to try:
-
Look at the log file. We are always happy to take questions, but the first thing someone will ask is, "What did you find in the log file?"
-
Run
weewxd
directly, rather than as a daemon. Generally, WeeWX will catch and log any unrecoverable exceptions, but if you are getting strange results, it is worth running directly and looking for any clues. -
Set the option
debug = 1
inweewx.conf
. This will put much more information in the log file, which can be very useful for troubleshooting and debugging! -
If you are still stuck, post your problem to the weewx-user group. The Wiki has some guidelines on how to do an effective post.
