Neal,

You should ensure that the registry ($HOME/etc/registry.xml) parameters have 
the desired values. See 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/LDM-registry.html>.

Check the value of the registry parameter "/pqact/datadir-path".

> 2. I don't believe the logging is working correctly. The registry has it
> pointing to /home/ldm/var/logs/ldmd.log but nothing is written to that
> file. I would also like for that log file to be located in /data/ldm/logs/
> if possible.

Please send me the output of the following commands:

    fgrep LOG_LDM $HOME/src/config.h
    fgrep local /etc/*syslog.conf
    ls -l $HOME/bin/hupsyslog
    ls -l $HOME/bin/ldmd

"$HOME/var" is the new, correct place for all variable files -- including the 
log files.

To make the log files appear as if they're in the $HOME/logs directory, link 
the directories with the command "(cd && ln -s var/logs logs)".

> The old ldm server is running ldm 6.7.0 and does not appear to have the
> regutil function so I'm not exactly sure where to look to find the
> settings. Any help would be appreciated.

In LDM 6.7, the runtime configuration parameters were set in the file 
$HOME/ldmadmin-pl.conf. Because this didn't allow for programmatic access to 
the parameters, the LDM registry was created.
