Hi EthanSo I did fix the problem, and the fix seems to be a bit obscure. I ended up creating the content directory by hand and linking it in /usr/share/tomcat5. But the obscure part is it turns out you have to put the content dir in a particular place, namely
/var/lib/tomcat5/contentI'm not sure why it cares so much, but it has something to do with the fact that the attempt to create/find the content directory is actually looking for
/usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/thredds/../../content/thredds instead of /usr/share/tomcat5/contentCan you please ensure that this resolution finds it's way into the appropriate archive.

So please forgive the direct question.No problem and I'm going to CC the thredds list so it is archived and searchable ...http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/thredds/2009/msg00057.html The part that I am interested in is this part:#2, what does your deployment descriptor (web.xml) file specify for the "unpackwars" attribute? Is it true (the default) or false? If it is true, it's possible you're having the same issue as with the Red Hat-provided Tomcat: that there are a passel of symlinks between various /var/lib/tomcat dirs and /usr/share/tomcat dirs, and when you drop the Tomcat WAR file into the /webapps directory, the THREDDS servlet cannot construct the proper /content/thredds directories. If this is the case, change this attribute to false, and re-deploy the servlet and see if you get this error.I am trying to use the Redhat provided Tomcat to deploy thredds and I am having the same issue as the original poster. Was there ever a resolution for this other than not unpacking the war (which at the time of the message (didn't work)? I tried creating the content directory by hand as the user tomcat. No luck. Any ideas?My understanding is that the RedHat provided Tomcat uses symbolic links in a number of places and your content/thredds directory needs to be linked in a similar manner. Here's a quote from another email to the thredds list: "3) Then I had to ensure new directory for THREDDS was created (/var/lib/tomcat5/content/), with ownership and permissions for theTomcat user, symlinked from /usr/share/tomcat5/content." There might be more of interest to you in the email so here's the link: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/thredds/2009/msg00139.html Hope that helps, EthanThanks Howard -- Howard Lander<mailto:howard@xxxxxxxxx> Senior Research Software Developer Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI)<http://www.renci.org> The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Duke University North Carolina State University
