Peter,

  I believe you can safely ignore the following HTTP log message:
 
>> Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 
>> 172.32.12.221. 
>> Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

set up yet 

  I am a bit confused as LDM would have been setup up via the install script?

  To see if your regutil command worked correctly, look at the 
/awips2/ldm/etc/registry.xml file and the <hostname> entry should have your 
fully qualified host name.

 With CAVE not starting correctly it sounds like the OpenGL engine isn't 
running correctly. Are you using an nvidia graphics card? They are the least 
problematic. Also, is there any decently human-readable text in the core dump 
that might explain why it is failing?

 One more possibility, underneath the /home/<user>/caveData folder there may be 
a console log file (which might be found under a hidden directory named .logs). 
There may be some good information in there which explains why CAVE has crashed.

 Let me know if you can't find the console log file. It may not be there (never 
created) or it may take some grunt searching to find it.
