RE: Problems setting up insitu data access



A little more information. 

In las.xml, in the operations element, I have this:
 <!-- Operations supported by this server -->
 <operations url="http://prey.shore.mbari.org/las-bin/LASserver.pl";>
   &operations;
   &insitu_operations;
 </operations>

when I insert a spelling error into the &operations; reference and run $LAS/server/make I get an error in the make process. However, when I insert a spelling error in &insitu_operations I get nothing, still the same error from the UI as before, but nothing from make.

My declaration of the entity looks fine:
<!-- Declaration of operations files to be included -->
<!ENTITY operations SYSTEM "operations.xml">
<!ENTITY insitu_operations SYSTEM "insitu_operations.xml">

And the insitu_operations.xml file is in the server directory, I even opened up the permissions on it, in case that was the problem. For whatever reason, LAS isn't seeing that insitu_operations entity...
