oh, i also told you a slightly wrong thing, you should use

<service name="opendap" serviceType="OPENDAP" base="/thredds/dodsC/" />

instead of

<service name="opendap" serviceType="OPENDAP" 
base="http://dods.gso.uri.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/"; />


this makes your catalog portable if you want to move it, and will work exactly 
the same.

John,

Attached is the catalog.xml reworked using your information. I have it installed at http://dods.gso.uri.edu:8080/thredds/ and I also copied into the dodsC directory under thredds but I always get a file not found error for the catalog.xml when I try to access that location (.i.e., /thredds/dodsC). I'll go back to your docs to see if I can find what I'm doing wrong. As for the catalog, I think it's correct though I did remove the 'urlPath' from the dataset since it's not part of the path for tomcat at all but part of a separate Apache webserver setup so I didn't think it was relevant.

Thanks for you help on this. Hankin has been after me to get this installed and setup.
