Hi Brian, For the grib decoder, I believe the problem is possibly a missing library. Could you please send me the output when you run the following on the command line: ls -l /usr/lib64/libpng* Also, after looking at your pqact.conf file and comparing it to what we have running on our servers, I noticed a difference in the location of GOES data in data_store. For some reason, our actions move all the data to a different directory (/awips2/data_store/GOES/) and subdirectories, compared to what the actions in your configuration file do. I've attached a text field with the current logic found on our server. You should be able to try and replace the lines in your pqact.conf file starting with: # # GOES 16/17 ABI # NOTHER ^(TI....) (KNES) (......) (...) . . . . and ending with: # derived products (still unsupported) With the lines I've attached in the text file. Then you'll need to stop the server (run 'edex stop' on the command line, without the single quotes) and restart the server ('edex start'). I'm not entirely sure why the data_store subdirectory should make a difference. Granted, the text snippet I'm sending you does not have a line for the EXP feed data, since it appears we don't serve it. If you are getting data on that feed, then you should keep that line in your pqact.conf file for now. Let me know if any of these changes help and what your output is for the libpng search.
