[McIDAS #RWF-297700]: McIDAS 2015 installation questions

Hi Gilbert,

Bummer!

re:
> The good news?
> I was in the process of installing everything to flip it over when it

That is good news!

re:
> Now, I went to the website and saw McIDAS-X 2015 has been released.
> Alas, when I went to the installation instructions, it pointed to 2009.

I apologize for this.  I started the work of updating the Unidata
McIDAS-X User's Guide, but I got yanked off to work on more pressing
items.  I will try to get to the documentation update next week and
the week after.

re:
> LDM and GEMPAK have been having the same issues since the web site
> upgrade.

??  I have followed the problem you reported with feeds not failing
over in the LDM, but I have not seen comments about GEMPAK.

re:

Sure...

I just logged in and don't see anything amiss in the 'mcidas' account
on weather2.admin.niu.edu.  It looks like you built v2015 yesterday...

re:

I assume that you mean the /home/ldm/logs/ldmd.log file?

If yes, I am seeing a lot of LDM "Denying connection' messages, but
not ones related to McIDAS things.

I also don't see a problem in the ~ldm/logs/ldm-mcidas.log or
~ldm/logs/XCD_START.LOG files.

Can you pinpoint where I should be looking?

Cheers,

Tom
