Hmm, would you mind trying again then download the logfile and posting it here? That may help me see what's happening. - Mark

@markyharris sure thing - how do I download the logfile?

I tried to edit my post and was unable.  I took a picture of what I am looking at - maybe this will help.

I had a look at the raspbian config (systemctl) for 346 and it appears the DHCP daemon was disabled. This caused several services to block and the pi to not properly boot.

To fix it, here are the steps i took, after booting the system and connecting the console to a monitor and keyboard.

Edit /etc/rc.local and comment out the sleep and python sectional scripts:

#sleep 30

#sudo python3 /NeoSectional/webapp.py &

#sudo python3 /NeoSectional/startup.py &

I booted the image and issued a :

$ sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd.service

Then, reboot the system and use BerryLan to configure the wifi. After that connectivity is established and setup, take the comment in /etc/rc.local out of webapp line and sleep, and reboot again. 

You should then be able to use the web interface and continue to configure the system. When confident all is well, you can remove the comment from the startup.py script. 

Hope that helps. 

@willstarnes @markyharris Ok so I followed those instructions perfectly and was unable to get a change.  I reflashed and still had the same type of error.  I can connect to the pi remotely so it's not really a matter of it connecting to the router, I just get that string of errors in the script.

Since you can access the RPi via the web interface, go to the 'Map Utilities' menu and download the logfile and post it here so I can read it. It would be best that you power down the RPi, then restart it. Let it stay on for a few minutes before you download the logfile. I would like to see what is happening on boot up. - Mark

@markyharris I can access the pi via ssh but not the web app. The photo I posted is exactly what I’m seeing when directly connected to the pi. 

I’ve tried other pi’s and reflashing. 

Ok, not sure why you are having this issue, but lets try to figure it out.

Start by connecting via ssh. and at the prompt, enter;

ping www.aviationweather.gov

You should get a response similar to;

PING e278.dscg.akamaiedge.net (23.55.248.15) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from a23-55-248-15.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.55.248.15): icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=35.4 ms

64 bytes from a23-55-248-15.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.55.248.15): icmp_seq=3 ttl=57 time=41.4 ms

If you get this response then enter the following at the prompt; (If you get an error, please post a pic of the screen).

cd /NeoSectional
sudo python3 webapp.py

This will start only the webapp.py script, which gives you web access via another computer's browser. You should see a bunch of log messages being displayed like this;

[I 210116 16:58:22 webapp:65] 

Startup of metar-v4.py Script, Version v4.360

[I 210116 16:58:22 webapp:1713] Startup - Current RPI IP Address = 192.168.86.33

Let this run for a bit. If an error occurs, it will stop the script from running and display the error text (similar to what you posted earlier). If it is working correctly then screen output will pause until something is done via the web interface. It looks like in your case you would enter http://192.168.86.54:5000 into a web browser that is located on the same local network to bring up the web interface. 

Let me know what you see. Another screen image would be fine, if you can post it here. - Mark

@markyharris

Ok, lets try this. It seems you are well versed in using the cmd line, so this shouldn't be too troublesome. If you are not comfortable with what I have below, just let me know.

At the cmd line enter;

cd /NeoSectional
sudo nano -c webapp.py

Scroll down to around line 1660 (give or take) and look for the following;

def checkforupdate():
    global update_vers
    get_loc()
    print(loc) # debug

Once you find this, comment out 2 lines so it ends up looking like this;

def checkforupdate():
    global update_vers
    # get_loc()
    # print(loc) # debug

Then try it again. I tried playing with a location service but found it buggy and have commented it all out in my current versions. I hope this helps, please bounce back to let us know. - Mark

@markyharris That was it!  Works like a charm now!

Seriously, thanks for the help - I'm not a complete idiot with navigating some things but definitely not "well versed." haha

I'm glad that worked. I'm sorry that this was an issue. As you may have noticed this is very much a fluid project. And some of the things I do don't work well. It's a hassle but I've learned a lot from it. Thanks for your stick-to-it-iveness. - Mark

@markyharris No need for apologies at all.  You've done more for this project than I ever have!

I also noticed that when I boot, the LEDs aren't coming on automatically anymore - I have to go into the webapp and manually select "turn map on".

Double check the 'Auto Run' setting under Basic Settings. This should be set to 'Yes'. If this is set to 'Yes' and it still not auto running please let me know. - Mark
