Raspberry-Pi Issues

 For a couple of days I was unable to access my web page.  I was getting similar errors off and on, so I thought maybe it was a temporary problem.  Finally, I checked the Raspberry-Pi and there were some problems.  I had a desktop screen, but most everything was missing.  I pulled up a command window, and it didn't seem to recognize any commands.  I really was confused as to what was going on, so I did a power shutdown.

After powering back up, it seemed to like it was trying to boot, but eventually the screen just went black.  I did a few recommended checks on the Pi, and it seemed it was OK.  Then I installed a new SD card with a fresh version of Raspian and it booted up fine.

It indicates that the SD card is corrupted, which I understand is a common issue.  I don't think I ever got an automatic backup working right, so no backups stored anywhere.

My next step was to try and recover files from the SD card.  That is in process.  But I also will need to reload all the software to the new SD card and get everything configured.

So no WX for a few days.

Back from the Brink

I have my weather website running again.  It was a major PITA to get things going.  I am partially to blame for not having a good backup sys...
