FAQ

Q: The Pages are white, only the header and the sidebar are visible but look strange.

A: Most likely your weewx web root is not at the root of your webserver, so eg. you are accessing your report via something like http://host/weewx. In this case you need to set your base_path in the skin.conf accordingly:

base_path = /weewx/

Without, your reports will look like this:

224643020-04e6b2e3-7127-4bd6-b6e6-d10ab2240edf

More info here.


Q: "WeeWX uptime" and "Server uptime" are showing as $station.uptime.long_form and $station.os_uptime.long_form

A: You are using a WeeWX version prior to V4.10. There are two options: Update WeeWX to the latest version or change $station.uptime.long_form and $station.os_uptime.long_form to $station.uptime and $station.os_uptime in includes/footer.inc. For more information please have a look at the WeeWX Upgrade guide.


Q: The graphs are showing very odd lines

A: This is likely because your data is not continuous. For example, if using a weewx test system which is only occasionally started with the simulator driver. This results in "holes in the data". The default curve type natural interpolates this in some "special way". This problem should be solved once your station gathers data continuously. Another way to change this is by changing the curve of the chart, see https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/wiki/Configuration#diagrams

For more info about this, see here https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/issues/41


Q: Iam using pressure with inHg units and the diagram looks like a straight line

A: You need to change the default yScaleOffset for the pressure (observations pressure, barometer, altimeter) in the skin.conf. Something like 0.1 should be a good value for that:

[[[pressure]]]
   yScaleOffset = 0.1
[[[barometer]]]
   yScaleOffset = 0.1
[[[altimeter]]]
   yScaleOffset = 0.1
