Hi there, > I have been using AWIPS CAVE on my home computer without issue for several > months. Today I am > getting an error that it cannot connect to the EDEX server: > [image: image.png] > > Based on this website, it looks like I am using the correct address for the > server: > https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/awips-tips-unidata-awips-202 Last week 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 > Is this a temporary outage or do I need to point to a different server? > > If it helps, I am using a Mac and running OS 14.0. > [image: image.png] The version of CAVE you have installed can now point directly to edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu, but I would still recommend installing the latest version of CAVE. The previous url, edex-beta.unidata.ucar.edu does not point to an EDEX server anymore.
