Hey there, > I think the AWIPS edex-beta server is down again. When launching CAVE, I get > a message > "server not yet validated" and it won't connect or validate. > Could you check this out? Thanks. This morning we released a whole new version of AWIPS (20.3.2-1) and updated our public EDEX with this latest build. Previous versions of CAVE are not compatible with this new Release, so we recommend updating CAVE. Information about our release and install instructions can be found in our latest blog: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/awips-tips-unidata-awips-203 Please update to the latest version of CAVE and then let us know if things are working as expected. If you would like to have procedures, displays, points, etc. copied over from previous versions, please reach out to us with the following information and we can work with you: -previous version of CAVE installed -OS CAVE is installed on -username on your computer -name of your computer Please note that not all previous user configs from version 18 are compatible with the new version and may override updates that were made in version 20.
