I am able to server local netCDF files from the current version of the Thredds server. I have been struggling to get remote files working, so my understanding may be flawed, but as far as I can tell, this is how things work.

Thredds uses a "service" to work out how to fetch your data. Each data set has a "service" which you specify by "name" which says how the data should be fetched. You can have a "NetCDF" serviceType for NetCDF data, or "DODS" for data fetched from a DODS server. The "base" for local netCDF files should point to a directory on your filesystem, including any trailing "/".

Thanks for the info. I've set up several Aggregation Servers, but always
using OPeNDAP servers, never using local netCDF files. One question: the
"base"; that pathname is usually relative in the examples I've seen.
Relative to what?
