What's the weewx version that you are running, and what's the linux installation / flavor? (eg: Raspian, CentOS, Debian etc ??)

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/php/wxobs_weewx.inc'

Basically, the include file is missing. Either it's not being generated (unlikely), or...
File write permissions may be preventing it from being written to that location ( at /usr/share/php), (more likely).
The directory also may not exist (unlikely but some variations of linux may have dropped the base directory).

There is a directive within the wxobs/skin.conf file that allows it to be relocated...

[wxobs]
        # This shouldn't need changing, but if it does then /tmp is a good
        # starting point. This will most likely be used with remote servers
        # using sqlite databases, see [Remote] below
#        include_path = '/tmp'

If you uncomment (remove the '#') on the include _path entry above (about line number 30) then the include file will be written to /tmp

        include_path = '/tmp'

You can put the file virtually anywhere but it also needs to be visible to the webserver which means that /var/www/html is also a valid location (but possibly less secure for an exposed, to the internet, webserver.)

v0.7.1 has been released.

This will fix a missing /usr/share/php directory that some installations have, assuming that was the cause in this case.

A default installation should now go back to its 'working out of the box' state.
