@peter, many thanks for your help. I have changed the port setting to 3000 and the Weather Service is running now without errors.

Unfortunately, there is still a problem with WeeWX’s built-in Weather Underground plug-in. I am running WeeWX and the Weather Service on the same Raspberry PI. According to the hints given in The WeeWX Project I have modified the /etc/weewx/weewx.conf file as follows:

    [[Wunderground]]
        enable = true
        station = anyText
        password = anyText
        server_url = http://127.0.0.1:80/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php
        rapidfire = False

Unfortunately, WeeWX failed to send the weather observation onto the local Weather Service:

I’m not sure what causes the problem? There is maybe a change in the WeeWX Wunderground interface. The WeeWX change history 3.9.2 (14 Jul 2019)states:

Posts to the Weather Underground now use https, instead of http. Thanks to user mljenkins! PR #378.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?
