Re: [las_users] addXML giving an error

[Roland Schweitzer <roland.schweitzer@xxxxxxxx>]

This might just be addXML blowing up on the data source.

Is the data source you are trying to scan public and OPeNDAP?  If so can you send me the details and I'll run it through the debugger.  See my previous email about addXML logging to a file.  It should log to the console for interactive use and rebuilding it might fix the problem.

I have attempted to make sure that user "tomcat" has access to the named log file. And when I run that command as user "tomcat", I see the following error:

Any ideas?
