[las_users] Apparent problem locating data on new LAS installation

[Todd Viola <toddviola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 

I'm new to this list and am having a problem running my newly installed LAS 
(armstrong 0.4). It looks like something simple, and I've searched the list 
archives, but did not find a solution. I'm hoping someone can point me in the 
right direction.

I got the LAS interface built and running. However when I try to generate a 
product using the bundled data sets, I get errors that look like this:

: non-existent or not on line;, ERROR RUNNING SCRIPT statement executed
 **TMAP ERR: non-existent or not on line
             Searched $FER_DESCR and $FER_DATA for 
coads_climatology(.des,.cdf,.nc)
SET DATA "coads_climatology"
Command file, command group, or REPEAT execution aborted
STOP -script mode, ERROR RUNNING SCRIPT statement executed

I made sure to source my ferret_paths file before configuring LAS, and I 
double checked that the conf/server/Ferret_config.pl file contains the 
correct paths. No luck.

In order to rule out a permissions problem, I moved my fer_dsets directory to 
a new location where I could make sure they were readable by everyone 
(previously I had it in a user home directory just for convenience). I 
configured LAS again, and confirmed the new $FER_DATA paths in 
conf/server/Ferret_config.pl. Still no luck. 

I'm not sure where to go next. Thank in advance for any insights. 

My server is at: http://www.dataintheclassroom.org:8080/las/. It's part of a 
NOAA-supported education project. A colleague and I are working on curriculum 
for middle school which will guide teachers and students through a number of 
activities using real data. 

Thanks,
Todd
