Re: LAS 6: Adding data doesn't refresh server

[Jonathan Callahan <callahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

I highly recommend that you set up LAS using xml includes for your
datasets.  It makes things much easier to debug.  Here's the FAQ:

  http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/Ferret/LAS/FAQ/xml_includes.html

I'd have to look at your las.xml file to see what might be causing the
problem.  If you copy the file las/etc/LASinfo.pl over into las/server
and make sure it's executable I'll be able to query your server for
various information and can help you debug this without emailing files
back and forth.  You can just remove execute permission after we're done
if you're concerned about security.
