How this works is that unless running in thin client mode, EDEX and CAVE need
to resolve the server names defined in /awips2/edex/bin/setup.env to addresses
that work on the respective hosts:
BROKER_ADDR
PYPIES_SERVER
HTTP_SERVER
JMS_SERVER
These variables are used both by EDEX and transmitted to CAVE at startup. For
example if:
export PYPIES_SERVER=http://foo.invalid:9582
then both EDEX and CAVE hosts need to resolve foo.invalid to something
reachable on port 9582. If the internal and external addresses on the EDEX
server are different, then you will need to alias foo.invalid to internal IP
address on the EDEX server OR create a hosts entry on the CAVE client for
foo.invalid to be the external IP of the EDEX. While the Unidata install
automatically sets these variables to the hostname, you can edit them by hand
and restart edex if that’s more convenient.
If you are paranoid, you can also set ‘export DB_ADDR=localhost’ and then
remove non-localhost entries from /awips2/data/pg_hba.conf as CAVE does not
access the db host directly.

On Azure and EC2 cloud instances, for example, `hostname` is not a fully
qualified name by default. The following steps are required to get EDEX to
work on such a system:
* in /etc/sysconfig/network:
HOSTNAME=miniload3.cloudapp.net<http://miniload3.cloudapp.net>
NETWORKING=yes
* in /etc/hosts
10.79.24.5 miniload3.cloudapp.net<http://miniload3.cloudapp.net>
where 10.79.24.5 is the *internal* IP address. the goal here is that from
within the server, the fully qualified domain name can be DNS resolved to the
internal IP adress, while outside the server the name is resolved to the
external IP address.

I had to explicitly add the hostname to IP in the /etc/hosts file to fix this.
IE
awips2-edex 10.16.1.2
That fixed that issue

Be sure that hostname is defined as a fully-qualified domain name, and that
your DNS can resolve the correct internal IP address, and that this IP is the
one used in /awips2/edex/bin/setup.env. If not, then you can force the correct
internal IP with an entry to /etc/hosts. Check IP address found with nslookup
and ifconfig as well.
please provide a sample of forcing the correct entry into /etc/hosts ... it
is still hanging.. looking at me.. and mocking me! lol :)
