No luck. Any ideas? My understanding is that the RedHat provided Tomcat uses symbolic links in a number of places and your content/thredds directory needs to be linked in a similar manner. Here's a quote from another email to the thredds list: "3) Then I had to ensure new directory for THREDDS was created (/var/lib/tomcat5/content/), with ownership and permissions for theTomcat user, symlinked from /usr/share/tomcat5/content." There might be more of interest to you in the email so here's the link: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/thredds/2009/msg00139.html Hope that helps, Ethan > Thanks > Howard > > -- > Howard Lander <mailto:howard@xxxxxxxxx> > Senior Research Software Developer > Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) <http://www.renci.org> > The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill > Duke University > North Carolina State University
