I am trying to set my weewx up with an ecowitt bridge. I am using a raspberry pi in hotspot mode using RaspAp, after setting up with the configuration file with the following settings:
root@raspberrypi:/etc/weewx# cat weewx.conf.def
# WEEWX CONFIGURATION FILE
##############################################################################
# This section is for general configuration information.
# Set to 1 for extra debug info, otherwise comment it out or set to zero
debug = 0
# Root directory of the weewx data file hierarchy for this station
WEEWX_ROOT = /
# Whether to log successful operations
log_success = True
# Whether to log unsuccessful operations
log_failure = True
# How long to wait before timing out a socket (FTP, HTTP) connection
socket_timeout = 20
# Do not modify this. It is used when installing and updating weewx.
version = 3.9.1
##############################################################################
# This section is for information about the station.
[Station]
# Description of the station location
location = "Grand Terrace, CA"
# Latitude and longitude in decimal degrees
latitude = 34.021
longitude = -117.314
# Altitude of the station, with unit it is in. This is downloaded from
# from the station if the hardware supports it.
altitude = 291, meter
# Set to type of station hardware. There must be a corresponding stanza
# in this file with a 'driver' parameter indicating the driver to be used.
station_type = Interceptor
# If you have a website, you may specify an URL
#station_url =
http://www.example.com # The start of the rain year (1=January; 10=October, etc.). This is
# downloaded from the station if the hardware supports it.
rain_year_start = 1
# Start of week (0=Monday, 6=Sunday)
week_start = 6
##############################################################################
[Interceptor]
# This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.
# The driver to use:
driver = user.interceptor
# Specify the hardware device to capture. Options include:
# acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge, smarthub, or access
# observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, ambient WS2902
# lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302
# lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge
# wu-client - any hardware that uses the weather underground protocol
device_type = acurite-bridge
##############################################################################
[Simulator]
# This section is for the weewx weather station simulator
# The time (in seconds) between LOOP packets.
loop_interval = 2.5
# The simulator mode can be either 'simulator' or 'generator'.
# Real-time simulator. Sleep between each LOOP packet.
mode = simulator
# Generator. Emit LOOP packets as fast as possible (useful for testing).
#mode = generator
# The start time. Format is YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM. If not specified, the default
# is to use the present time.
#start = 2011-01-01T00:00
# The driver to use:
driver = weewx.drivers.simulator

If I then do a #/etc/init.d/weewx status I get:
root@raspberrypi:/etc/weewx# /etc/init.d/weewx status

Not sure where to go from here.
