Can't Change Archive Interval

currymac:
I just switched to a new Davis Vantage Pro2. I'm using one of Belfryboy's latest data loggers. Everything seems to work fine and I'm sending Rapidfire reports to Weather Underground (http://tinyurl.com/kgabbjv). My Weewx software is also sending updates to CWOPS and my own website, but CWOPS and my own website only get updated every 1800 seconds. I've issued the command to change the archive interval to 300 seconds but I get an error and it won't take the adjustment. I'm including the command line output for you to see. I've tried it twice with 2 different errors. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Thanks in advance..

I just noticed this post. Did you ever get this solved?

To me it doesn't look like it has anything to do with setting the archive interval, but in communicating with the device.

Have you tried stopping weewx, making the change in weewx.config, and then restarting weewx?

N0NB:
I tried the config utility while the WeeWX daemon was running and it failed like yours above. I stopped the daemon:

sudo service weewx stop

And then I was able to read the settings with the --info option and set the archive interval to 60S.

HTH.

currymac:
I finally reinstalled Weewx, yet again, and now have everything up and running properly... until the next time I do an update. It always seems to be the updates that trip me up! They scare the hell out of me now. :lol:

N0NB:
Certainly, one has to treat updates with a bit of caution. That said, the archive interval shouldn't be changed by an update as I understand it as the utility needs to be specifically run to change the archive interval in the Vantage Pro2.

A year ago I installed WeeWX from the tar.gz package but this time on the Pi I chose to use the .deb package and it was quite a bit easier. Rather than use the old 2.7.x config file I simply edited the relevant portions of the 3.1 config file and it all worked well. Dealing with a lot of this stuff is probably made easier by nearly 19 years of experience with Linux and almost 16 with Debian, upon which Raspbian is based.
