done, I had to delete the manual symlink and did the a2enconf ..

sudo rm weatherradio.conf
pi@allsky:/etc/apache2/conf-enabled $ sudo a2enconf weatherradio
Enabling conf weatherradio.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
systemctl reload apache2
pi@allsky:/etc/apache2/conf-enabled $ systemctl reload apache2

Perfectly right, the documentation is wrong. It needs to beI corrected it in the current version.

done,

thanks a lot

In case anyone else has tried allsky on the pi you are running weatherradio on you may find that weatherradio suddenly stops serving webpages

One workaround is;
Ensure apache is running.

sudo systemclt status apache2

If you installed allsky it will install lighttpd and that will grab port 80 so apache can't run unless you change the port it listens to to something other than 80.

I changed it to port 81

Then you would access weather radio as

http://weather radio:81/weatherradio

A better solution would be to get weatherradio to run on lighttpd or to get allsky to run on apache

hello
I have a small problem with WeatherRadio, not serious but recurring.
I don't know for what but each time, after a certain time I have the weather crashing.
So I have to restart the serverindi of the weather, it can take a week or sometimes less or more.
Who has an idea of where the problem can come from.
I have version 1.8

Hm, strange, haven't seen that in my setup. Mine is running for weeks without a problem.

Do you have a log file available?

Absolutely. If there is somebody out there having a config file for lighthttpd, it would be great to share it. Then I could include it into the next release.

Btw, it should not be that complicated, since it simply serves some files.

<strong>Do you have a log file available?</strong>

how do I give you the log file ?
or how a fact for log file ?

Depends how you start weather radio. Do you start it directly or do you use KStars?

then no, it runs on a dedicated tinkerboard only for WeatherRadio.
I'm putting the error I have into you

Hi gents,

I'm almost thru with the installation but a new issue occured. And I hope again of any ideas from you. Thank you in advance.

Last puzzles are the camera but more of interest now is the data collection for the dashboard (based on rrd-database. And there is my problem.
the Python scripts in /usr/share/weatherradio/bin require a config. (see below)
I set it up to my best knowledge.

My current setup is like that:
1. RPi4 (192.168.178.29:7624) runs dedicated Stellarmate OS, indiservers are running, devices are connected
2. a second RPi4 ("allsky",192.168.178.20, basis for the Weatherradio) is connected via ethernet to a NodeMCU8266 microcontroller (192.168.178.75:80) witch has all the sensors.
3. the webservers (Apache2 (port 80) and tinxtdp (port 8080) are also running on the seconf RPi4.

According to Readme-WeatherRadio.md one should generate manually weatherdata (also for testing) by: /usr/share/weatherradio/bin/wr_rrd_update.py and so on.
But in my setup I get an error message:

pi@allsky:/usr/share/weatherradio $ ./bin/wr_rrd_update.py
Updating data from "Weather Radio"@192.168.178.20:7624 FAILED!

further down please see the indiserver startup log. And the driver reports decently all data very reliable.

As the journal says, the information has disappeared. Either check the rotated log or - next time - please call this command earlier.

Maybe additionally you could start indiserver with "-v -v" obtaining more informations.
