Hi John

Following instructions in

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/dodsAS/AggServerInstall.html

1) I installed tomcat version 5.0.27, it is working fine.
2) then I downloaded thredds.war, used    jar  -xf thredds.war to unpack it.

3) I had the dir structure like this : jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27/webapps/thredds,
but the servlet is not working under http://localhost:port/thredds/dodsC/

The HTTP Status 404 - /thredds/ error message is : The requested resource (/thredds/) is not available.

I assume the directory is not found.

your directory looks ok

you may need to restart tomcat

4) I cannot see dodsC directory under thredds, but there is one under /webapps/thredds/initialContent/

Do I need to download the dodsC.war and unpack it under /webapps/thredds/ ?

no, dodsC.war is obsoleted

Could you give any help please ?

Hi Kevin:

The latest version of the AS does fix this (it actually only needs DODS
1.1.4 or later), as you can see from this dump of an old and new

So you are probably running an old one. The new one comes only packaged
in the thredds.war release, which changes its URLS (its was ../dodsC,
now its ../thredds/dodsC). Get the new one from:


http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/dodsAS/AggServerInstall.html

probably be good to remove all traces of the old ones to make sure you
arent accidentally using it.

I apologize that the web pages are out of date; i will fix ASAP. The
motherlode dods server will be switched to the new stuff probably next week.
