Hi everyone,
I currently have a working weewx install at
https://wx.mdt.fyi and a working Belchertown skin install at
https://wx.mdt.fyi/belchertown and for some reason, I'm having a bit of trouble.
It's on a debian virtual machine with no other services running. My HTML root is default at /var/www/html/weewx. So from what I can tell, all of the html is being served from that directory.
I tried a mod_rewrite with .htaccess and it validates:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /belchertown/$1 [R=301,L]
that .htaccess is in /var/www/html/weewx and there's even a copy in /var/www/html too. Yes, I also remembered to a2enmod rewrite and even stop/start Apache.
But everything is still loading from the default skin.
Is there a more sensible way to achieve my goal? The goal is basically to have the belchertown skin be the default one but I don't want to have anything break during an update.
Should I be trying to do this in an apache virtual host or is .htaccess sufficient?
cheers!
edit: I also tried changing the web root in both virtual hosts in sites-available. The two very basic .conf files from a basic Apache 2 install. One is simply the default-ssl.conf one. I checked the /etc/weewx/apache/weewx.conf file and from what I can tell, nothing in there is being used.
I restarted weewx. I restarted the entire server. I followed the directions on the Belchertown skin page for how to set it as default. Still no luck. I am stumped.
edit 2:
from my syslog, it seems like it's definitely generating information for both.

edit: it was my fault. I had AllowOverride None still set in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ... oops. Now I'm battling DNS. It's always DNS....
