Hi,

 

I installed TDS 4.5.1.

 

tds.version=4.5.1

tds.version.builddate=20140613.1536

 

had trouble to start it up in Tomcat7.

 

-Dtds.content.root.path=/var/lib/tomcat7/content/ has been set in tomcat
startup script. Still get the error below.

 

In /var/lib/tomcat7/content/thredds, only folder logs appears and all logs
in this folder are empty

 

-rw-r--r--. 1 tomcat tomcat 0 Jul 16 16:00 cache.log

-rw-r--r--. 1 tomcat tomcat 0 Jul 16 16:01 catalogInit.log

-rw-r--r--. 1 tomcat tomcat 0 Jul 16 16:00 featureCollectionScan.log

-rw-r--r--. 1 tomcat tomcat 0 Jul 16 16:01 serverStartup.log

-rw-r--r--. 1 tomcat tomcat 0 Jul 16 16:00 threddsServlet.log

 

Could someone shed some light on this?
