Here's my $tomcat_home/content/thredds/catalog.xml:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <catalog name="PSU Meteorology Department Data Archives" xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/thredds/InvCatalog/v1.0"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";> <service name="Test" serviceType="HTTPServer" base="" /><datasetScan name="Model Data" path="model_archive" scanDir="/data/test/" /></catalog>You need to tell datasetScan which service to use:<datasetScan name="Model Data" path="model_archive" scanDir="/data/test/"<metadata inherited="true"> <serviceName>Test</serviceName> </metadata> </datasetScan>Okay, I stuck the "metadata" section you show above into my file and restarted tomcat, but it's still failing with the same errors. Any other ideas? I'm using tomcat 5.0.28 and j2sdk1.4.2_10. Also, I tried running the catalog.xml file without the "service name" and "dataseetScan" elements (i.e. essentially empty file) for testing, and the catalog.html page then comes up properly, although empty (as would be expected).Thanks. Art.What I would do next is to download and run the development version (3.3), which will give you an error message instead of throwing an exception. A number of other bugs are fixed and we are on the verge of making it the stable release.get latest thredds.war from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/index.html#TDSOkay, I put the thredds 3.3 war file in webapps and restarted tomcat, and it seems to have picked it up. Then, after staring at the example catalog.xml file that came with the package for awhile (and which worked), I was able to craft my own additions which also worked. The trick seemed to be in using the "dirLocation" parameter instead of "scanDir" which seemed to not work.
yes, scanDir has been replaced by dirLocation. Are there some examples/docs that still use sccanDir ?
also, get Remote Management working by following this page: http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/RemoteManagement.htmlI set up remote management, but when I try to log on as a tdsConfig user, the page comes up saying "HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied", and then below that it says "message: Access to the requested resource has been denied" and "description: Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden." Note: I AM able to log on as admin and do status etc... okay.Any ideas how to get past this? I believe I've done everything on the remote management setup page referenced above.
its tricky debugging the SSL stuff. If you can give us remote access, we could poke around a bit. is your server public?
Thanks. Art.there are various debugging things that will help. If you give us a password, we can help you debug remotely.

I guess I'm just expecting thredds to list the data files when I give it the above catalog.xml file... What am I doing wrong?Art. Arthur A.
