Re: Unidata support for awips

Hello Bruno

The error about the missing package, that package is the lightning decoder, which is proprietary (or close enough to it), so the NWS removes that package from their release.  So I am assuming that you have been provided with a release directly from Raytheon.

My guess would be that there is an "<packagereq type=default>" for the awips2-edex-binlightning package in the repository xml file comps.xml.

The beta release I maintain at Unidata does not include the lightning decoder.  You are free to download the beta release from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/download/ - it only requires a login with a unidata account.  Once there, I have a 12-point instruction list to guide you from downloading the package to launching CAVE connected to EDEX server.  

To answer (1), all of the packages are installed in subdirectories under /awips2, so Postgres will be in /awips2/postgres/ and Python in /awips2/python/, etc.  Service managers are installed to /etc/rc.d/init.d/. 

To read without a login, I have a public copy of the install doc online at

Hi Michael,

 

Received your name from Ari as the person who could provide insight into resolving AWIPS II installation issues.  Note that this is a first-time installation of the AWIPS II software on the platform.

 

(1)  Are there any preinstallation installation procedures for preparing the system for AWIPS II software?

Where do required items such as PostgreSQL, /etc/services, accounts, etc get installed?  Root cause of some of our problems may be system preparation.

 

(2)  Specifically, with OB13.2.1 we encountered the following errors:

====================================================================

The groupinstall of “AWIPS II Processing Server” fails due to the lack of that package.

(missing package, awips2-edex-binlightning-13.1.2-1.i386.rpm)

 

Continued the install, but when we run the software it cannot find the localization server.  

Ran the “alertviz.sh” file to get the error.  The error:
-----------------------------
Error: Unable to connect to localization server

Localization Server: http://localhost:9581/services
Site: 
[Validate] [OK] [Quit]
--------------------

Get a similar error when I run “cave.sh”, where it cannot connect to the localization server.

====================================================================

 

Thanks in advance.
