Neal,

[I'm not sure if you received my previous reply to this question -- so here it 
is again.]

The main thing is to ensure that the LDM registry parameters in file 
$HOME/etc/registry.xml have the correct 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

Please send me the output of the following commands:

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

$HOME/var is the correct place for all variable or transitory files. If you 
want, you can make the log files appear to be in the directory $HOME/logs with 
the command "(cd && ln -s var/logs logs)".

The runtime parameters for LDM 6.7 are in the file $HOME/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf. 
This was replace with the LDM registry in order to enable programmatic access 
to the runtime parameters.
