Hello, Yes this is definitely something we can help you out with. I'm sorry you are having an issue. What version of EDEX were you running previously? Before the upgrade was EDEX running just fine? It looks like your maps database failed to install and possibly the postgres rpm. Were there any other errors during your install? Can you send this log file to us: /awips2/database/sqlScripts/share/sql/maps/maps.log Have you tried re-installing to see if that fixes the issue?
