Finally moving from 4 to 5.1.0 - cannot find 'belchertown_root_url' #956

Trying a discussion before a bug report because it is very likely a problem with my config.

I have not had problems with Belchertown (thanks, Pat!!) so I am not well-versed on troubleshooting. Just looking for some direction based on the error message.

Minimized config file changes to those pertaining to HTML_ROOT, etc. No changes to function. On report generation, I am seeing this multiple times:

2024-10-18 14:23:11,265 weewxd[8] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: **** Reason: cannot find 'belchertown_root_url'

Here is a chunk of my config:

[[Belchertown]]
    HTML_ROOT = data/public_html/belchertown
    skin = Belchertown
    [[[Extras]]]
        station_observations = "dewpoint", "barometer", "radiation", "maxSolarRad", "rainWithRainRate", "visibility", "cloudbase", "soilTemp4", "soilTemp3", "soilTemp2", "soilTemp1", "inTemp"
        belchertown_debug = 1
        belchertown_root_url = "http://vtwx.tom.org/belchertown"

Happy to provide anything else! Just looking for some direction in terms of troubleshooting this. Thanks!

I think I got it. I had a footer.html.tmpl in my skins/Belchertown directory.

		</div><!-- close div tag from header.html.tmpl -->

		<footer class="site-footer">
			<div class="wrap">
				<div class="footerLeft">$obs.label.copyright &copy; $current.dateTime.format("%Y") $obs.label.footer_copyright_text</div>
				<div class="footerRight"><strong>$obs.label.footer_disclaimer_text</strong></div>
				<div class="clear"></div>
			</div>
		</footer>

Your document root is incorrect. Try Neal Pond, Lunenburg, VT Weather Conditionsvtwx.tom.orgWithout the /belchertown sub-folder. That is where I found your web page.https://claydonsweather.org.ukOn 18 Oct 2024, at 19:30, Tom Mitchell ***@***.***> wrote: Trying a discussion before a bug report because it is very likely a problem with my config.

Sorry for the garbled reply above, replying directly to the notification e-mail is not a good idea it would seem!

Try belchertown_root_url = "http://vtwx.tom.org" instead. That is where your Belchertown home page is found in a browser.

OK, so one more thing springs to mind.

try your local path instead: -

belchertown_root_url = "data/public_html/belchertown"

I tried that one too. What I am confused about is that I can't see 'belchertown_root_url' anywhere in the code except in changelog. But I must be missing something big because it is showing up in the error message.

Millardiang Oct 19, 2024

Try removing that line from [[[Extras]]]

Millardiang Oct 19, 2024

With my own skin this all I have in weewx.conf: -
[StdReport]
[[DivumWXReport]]
skin = DivumWX
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/divumwx/
[[[Units]]]
[[[[Groups]]]]
group_altitude = meter
group_degree_day = degree_C_day
group_pressure = hPa
group_rain = mm
group_rainrate = mm_per_hour
group_speed = meter_per_second
group_speed2 = meter_per_second2
group_temperature = degree_C

Yup, I removed the line completely since the changelog suggests it is not used and I couldn't see it anywhere in the code (albeit I am likely missing something). The errors persist, yet it seems like it is running ok: http://vtwx.tom.org - I am going to let it run for a bit and see, but it seems to be running well.

Yes it does as far as I can see, but I know its annoying when you get an error message which appears to make no sense.

Turns out it is not all correct. The About and Records pages are not current. So the report does bail out partway through; it's a real error!

I think I got it. I had a footer.html.tmpl in my skins/Belchertown directory.

		</div><!-- close div tag from header.html.tmpl -->
