For one, 'Alert server' should be 'localhost' or the name of the CAVE machine
(i.e. that's the connection between CAVE and Alertviz.) It's possible to run
AlertViz on a separate host from CAVE but I can't think of a good reason to
(other than it's annoying.)
I assume you started Alertviz manually or it started on login? AlertViz must
be running for CAVE to start. I prefer to turn off automatically starting
AlertViz on login (in session preferences) and start it manually.
The other way this error can happen is if there is any firewalling blocking
ports 9581 (EDEX request) or 9582 (Pypies.)

Subject: [awips2-users] can't connect CAVE to EDEX
CAVE standalone can't connect to EDEX standalone.
Error from Connectivity Preferences is:
Unable to connect to localization server
Unable to validate localization preferences, please enter valid options or
quit the application.
Have installed localization OAX.
Input preferences are
Localization Server: http://cori2.met.tamu.edu:9581/services
Site: OAX
Alert Server: tcp://cori2.met.tamu.edu:61998
ie., the default with 'localhos' replaced with hostname (or IP) of the EDEX
server.
EDEX is on centos 6.5 x86_64 with firewall and selinux disabled.
Same for CAVE client in VMWare VM on other hardware. So client has NAT'd IP
address not accessible.
Where should I start for diagnosing this connection failure?
