faq running weewxd directly - weewx/weewx GitHub Wiki

Frequently users are asked to run weewxd directly from the command line and post a few LOOP messages in their problem reports.

How to do this

Run one of the two following commands

   # for pre-packaged weewx installations
   sudo python3 /usr/share/weewx/weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

   # or for setup.py weewx installations
   sudo python3 /home/weewx/bin/weewxd /home/weewx/weewx.conf

Let a couple LOOP messages be displayed, then hit control-C to stop weewxd.
Capture the output into your problem report.
