Hi Harry,

I'm curious what install document you're using, because I removed the qpid-stat 
step since the program is incompatible with Qpid 0.32 as of AWIPS release 
15.1.1.  Checking qpid-stat is not a necessary step anyone since Qpid is quite 
stable.  

As for your previous message, I am aware that "edex setup" is not adding the 
full domain name to ldmd.conf, I hope to have a fix for that soon, until then 
we have to manually edit the file to be sure the edex server name is set 
correctly.

Lastly, the comment about your CAVE client not being able to connect, I suspect 
you are seeing the error message "Connectivity Error: Unable to validate 
localization preferences".  If this is the case, it means that the domain name 
defined in /awips2/edex/bin/setup.env can not be resolved from *outside* the 
system.  Some machines have different internally-resolved and 
externally-resolved domain names (cloud-based servers are especially common 
with this), and if the name added to setup.env can only be resolved from inside 
the machine, you will see this error.  

Let me know if this is the case with you machine, if not then we have to 
investigate further.
