Hi John,
Our "main" catalogue is placed under content/thredds, in that file I
have placed a number of links (catalogref) to catalogues which lie in
content/thredds/catalogs - we did it this way to keep things "tidy" and
it has worked well in version 3.14.
Some of the catalogues under content/thredds/catalogs are symbolic
links, and it is for those I get the error messages I mentioned when I
switch to version 3.16. Just to test I tried to copy one of the linked
files into content/thredds/catalogs and then works with 3.16 - so 3.16
seems to be picky about symbolic links
The solution is obvious, avoid links and copy everything into
content/thredds/catalogs, but for various reason we would like to keep
the current setup if possible. If you would like to have a closer look
on our setup, go to:

Hope this made it a bit clearer :-)
Best Regards,
Knut

Hi Knut:
Currently you need to keep TDS config catalogs under content/thredds.
I assume these are "config catalogs", not just other catalogs you want to
reference from a catref?
By "symbolic link" do you mean you tried to link another directory under
content/thredds ?? If so,
im surprissed it wont follow a symbolic link correclty....

Hi,
I tried to update to thredds version 3.16 today, but it seems that
symbolic links to catalogues are not allowed in this version? In logs/
catalogErrors.log I get many errors of this type
initCatalog(): Path <catalogs/mersea-ip-class2-arctic.xml> points
outside of content path </home/apache-tomcat-5.5.25/content/thredds/>
(skip).
Is there a quick and easy way to allow symbolic links pointing outside
of the "content path" ?
Best Regards,
Knut Lisæter
