> > > Interesting. When I login, I see you are logged in, and I see you are > downloading packages. How many more are there to download? There were 0 awips packages installed, so I removed the directories previously created by AWIPS (GFESuite/ httpd_pypies/ ldm/ pypies/ python/ qpid/ tools/ database/) none of which are *required* to be removed for an update or install (/awips2/data is the only one which must be removed and it didn't exist this morning). It appears you > changed how the packages are installed with this version. > I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The RPMs are still installed by yum, still grouped as "awips2-server". The full steps I took on your machine this morning as are follows: [mjames@flurry ~]$ sudo su - [root@flurry ~]# rpm -qa |grep awips (no return) [root@flurry ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/awips2.repo [awips2repo] name=AWIPS II Development Repository baseurl=http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/repos/yum/awips2/ enabled=1 protect=0 gpgcheck=0 proxy=_none_ [root@flurry ~]# yum clean all yumLoaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, search-disabled-repos, security, subscription-manager Cleaning repos: awips2repo epel rhel-x86_64-server-6 Cleaning up Everything [root@flurry ~]# cd /awips2/ [root@flurry ~]# ls -al total 16 drwxr-xr-x. 12 awips fxalpha 4096 Dec 8 07:25 . dr-xr-xr-x. 28 root root 4096 Dec 8 09:47 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 awips fxalpha 23 May 27 2016 database drwxrwxr-x. 50 awips fxalpha 4096 Dec 8 09:47 data_store drwxr-xr-x 3 awips fxalpha 26 Dec 7 11:23 GFESuite drwxr-xr-x 3 awips fxalpha 16 Dec 7 11:23 httpd_pypies drwxr-xr-x 7 awips fxalpha 4096 Dec 7 11:19 ldm drwxr-xr-x 3 awips fxalpha 17 Dec 7 11:23 pypies drwxr-xr-x 3 awips fxalpha 16 Dec 7 11:23 python drwxr-xr-x 4 awips fxalpha 67 Dec 7 11:23 qpid drwxr-xr-x 2 awips fxalpha 6 Nov 29 08:36 tmp drwxr-xr-x 3 awips fxalpha 16 Dec 7 11:23 tools [root@flurry awips2]# rm -rf GFESuite/ httpd_pypies/ ldm/ pypies/ python/ qpid/ tools/ database/ [root@flurry awips2]# yum groupinstall awips2-server Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, search-disabled-repos, security, subscription-manager This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.

It's a slow download processes and it's still at 31/84, so this will probably take another 30-40 minutes before EDEX is installed and running again.
