How this works is that unless running in thin client mode, EDEX and CAVE need to resolve the server names defined in /awips2/edex/bin/setup.env to addresses that work on the respective hosts: BROKER_ADDR PYPIES_SERVER HTTP_SERVER JMS_SERVER These variables are used both by EDEX and transmitted to CAVE at startup. For example if: export PYPIES_SERVER=http://foo.invalid:9582 then both EDEX and CAVE hosts need to resolve foo.invalid to something reachable on port 9582. If the internal and external addresses on the EDEX server are different, then you will need to alias foo.invalid to internal IP address on the EDEX server OR create a hosts entry on the CAVE client for foo.invalid to be the external IP of the EDEX. While the Unidata install automatically sets these variables to the hostname, you can edit them by hand and restart edex if that’s more convenient. If you are paranoid, you can also set ‘export DB_ADDR=localhost’ and then remove non-localhost entries from /awips2/data/pg_hba.conf as CAVE does not access the db host directly. -- Erik Magnuson, ENSCO Inc. 321-866-0217 From: awips2-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:awips2-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael James Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 2:54 PM To: weather01089 Cc: awips2-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [awips2-users] Viewing Archived Gempak Model Files in NCP On Azure and EC2 cloud instances, for example, `hostname` is not a fully qualified name by default. The following steps are required to get EDEX to work on such a system: * in /etc/sysconfig/network: HOSTNAME=miniload3.cloudapp.net<http://miniload3.cloudapp.net> NETWORKING=yes * in /etc/hosts 10.79.24.5 miniload3.cloudapp.net<http://miniload3.cloudapp.net> where 10.79.24.5 is the *internal* IP address. the goal here is that from within the server, the fully qualified domain name can be DNS resolved to the internal IP adress, while outside the server the name is resolved to the external IP address.

If not, then you can force the correct internal IP with an entry to /etc/hosts. Check IP address found with nslookup and ifconfig as well. please provide a sample of forcing the correct entry into /etc/hosts ... it is still hanging.. looking at me.. and mocking me! lol :) _______________________________________________ awips2-users mailing list awips2-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:awips2-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> For list information, to unsubscribe, or change your membership options, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/ ________________________________ The information contained in this email message is intended only for the use of the individual(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged and sensitive.
