Hej Brandon,

 

I don't have a fresh installation of Centos 7 at hand.

But I suspect that you are suffering from the firewall,

which, unless I am wrong, does not allow channel access (search requests) by default.

 

You can either switch off the firewall completely for a first test.


Or look further here:

Subject: Trying to install EPICS on CentOS 7

 

Hello,

 

Has anyone had any luck installing EPICS on CentOS 7? Of the required packages for CentOS 8, I can install all but one (gcc-toolset-8-make) and there is no powertools for config-manager. It throws some errors but ultimately looks like it installs, but the basic tutorial does not work. When I try to "caget temperature:water", it responds with "Channel connect timed out: 'temperature:water' not found.". I'm guessing this is because it isn't installed correctly. Is it possible that the install is okay and there is a configuration issue preventing the caget from talking to the EPICS server?

 

Thank you,
Brandon
