Hi,

I have an obligation to reply to this email. I will come back to you
in more detail later.

Meanwhile, you may check the following things:
1) firewall
2) selinux
3) mysql db
4) several log files will be located in mgmt,etl,engine,retrieval/logs

Ant this repository was designed to help any users to set it easily,
and it is not for production. Technically, it doesn't matter, but for
the production you should consider many configurations in great details.

HTH,
Han

Everything seems to be working great with the application and I am able to access the archiver web application just fine.  I start up a basic softIoc with a couple PVs and my pyDM widget is able to control and access them just fine but I cannot get them to be archived by the appliance.  I can also use caget/camonitor/caput without any issue to manipulate the softIoc.   I saw another post about checking the ports in the appliances.xml but that seems to be correct from what I can tell.  I tried to look through the logs in /opt/epicsarchiverap/engine mgmt etl retrieval but I didnt see any errors that stood out.  I am not sure if its a connection issue with the ca and the archiver or a record thing I am missing but any advice would be helpful.  I have tried using ca://calc:a , calc:a but no luck getting it to archive.
