Jennifer, Sorry to hear you're having so many problems. Sorry about the lack of Windows' docs. We don't see a lot of people trying to run TDS in production on Windows. The error message leads me to believe that while C:/apache-tomcat-7.0.57/content/thredds/data exists, data isn't actually a directory. (or maybe a permission problem?) Either way, I think your properties are slightly off; tds.content.root.path points to the root content directory for tomcat, while tds.content.path points to the subdirectory for thredds' config (relative to the root path). I would try these settings: tds.content.root.path=C:/apache-tomcat-7.0.57/content tds.content.path=thredds The thredds directory is where files like catalog.xml and threddsConfig.xml should live. (thredds is actually the default, so if that contains the config, you should be able to just leave out tds.content.path) Ryan > Hello, > I am still struggling to get TDS installed on windows.
