[AWIPS #SGX-641557]: EDEX b18.1.2-3 ingest failing to run with default configuration

If you are nervous about starting it as root, you can edit the /usr/bin/edex 
script, and at the beginning check to see which user you are and exit out if 
you are root.

If you stopped EDEX as root, su - awips, and then started EDEX will it work?

I'm still trying to figure out the issue here especially if you've gotten it 
working once, but not most of the time? 

On a brand new Centos Server (CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-2009.iso) and Centos 
Desktop ISO, I have been able to replicate your issue and have not been able to 
get ingest to start (even with the switch to user awips).

I'm currently comparing RPM's between a working existing server and a new 
server for a potential RPM dependency we missed.
