I have not given up yet. I
have two experiments I would like
you to try. Each is in the form
of a php program to use in place
of the one that is failing. Please
report back the output from each
experiment.
Program 1:
<?php
exec("wget
http://dods.ipsl.jussieu.fr/cgi-bin/nph-dods/brocksce/ATM_t2m_global_ave_small.nc
2>&1", $output1);
print_r(implode("\n", $output1));
?>
This test program replaces ncdump with wget. It will tell
us if the problem is specific to ncdump or to the environment.
Program 2
<?php
exec("/home/webservices/test_ferret/netcdf-4.1.1/bin/ncdump -h
'[show=fetch]http://dods.ipsl.jussieu.fr/cgi-bin/nph-dods/brocksce/ATM_t2m_global_ave_small.nc'
2>&1", $output1);
print_r(implode("\n", $output1));
?>
This test program adds [show=fetch] to the url. This will cause
ncdump to show the files that it is fetching. Note that I placed
the url in '...' because the square brackets can cause errors.
You can try both with and without the '...'.
