Overview

How to troubleshoot WeeWx.

Webpage graphs/data isn't updating

I've run into this issue twice so I'm documenting some basic troubleshooting steps and possible resolutions here.
What to do if the WeeWx webpage loads, but isn't displaying any new weather data?

Troubleshooting

1. Check to make sure the webserver is running (Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, ...)
2. Make sure the WeeWx service is running
3. Make sure the time is correct on your sending device.

Possible Solutions

Webserver down? restart the service:

service nginx status
service nginx start

WeeWx service stopped?

service weewx status
service weewx start

Sending Device (GW1000) sending the wrong time?

1. Open the WSView app and make sure the GW1000 is setup to automatically sync time.
2. Make sure your firewall is allowing the GW1000 to access public NTP (UDP/123) servers.

Generic Troubleshooting

You can run the WeeWx service manually. This will display more information than when running as a service. For example you'll see LOOP data containing all your weather data. To do this run:

weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
