Shay Carter 772613b30d First pass at updating documentation for v20
- removed all images that don't apply for v20
- removed several extra files that aren't necessary (in the docs/pdf/ and docs/python/ directories)
- renamed some images that were preserved that had random character names, to something descriptive

# LDM for AWIPS and GEMPAK
It is possible to have two LDM installs (since AWIPS LDM installs to `/awips2/ldm` and is owned and run by user **awips:awips**. But two LDM clients doubles your bandwidth and uncessary. This document explains how the LDM keeps its EDEX processing separate from other processing (GEMPAK decoders, TDS, etc.).
### /awips2/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf
The defailt AWIPS LDM config file executes a single **pqact** process with the **-e** flag (for EDEX). The **edexBridge** server name is defined (typically the local machine name):
EXEC "pqact -e /awips2/ldm/etc/pqact.conf"
EXEC "edexBridge -s $HOSTNAME"
A separate **EXEC** line should be added for GEMPAK decoders, *without* the **-e** flag:
EXEC "pqact -f IDS-DDPLUS /awips2/ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_decoders"
yum install apr-devel apr-util-devel "libdb-4.7.so()(64bit)"
