OpenDap 1.9.7 Symbolic Link Configuration

[castronov...@gmail.com]

I am having trouble configuring my OpenDap server to follow symbolic links that point to my data.  I have followed these instructions http://docs.opendap.org/index.php/Hyrax_-_BES_Configuration#Symbolic_Links: 

The following is set in the bes.conf file:

BES.FollowSymLinks=No|Yes

And this one is set in the dap.conf file in the modules directory:

BES.Catalog.catalog.FollowSymLinks=No|Yes

However when I restart BES and navigate to my OpenDap address, the data do not show in the catalog.  When I try to navigate to their parent folder, I get the following error in bes.log:

<response reqID="[load-metadata-:105:bes_request]" xmlns="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/bes/1.0#">
<BES>
  <BESError>
    <Type>5</Type>
      <Message>Unable to access node /data/nc/NC_Data/contents: No such file or directory</Message

      <Administrator>admin.ema...@your.domain.name</Administrator> 

  </BESError>
</BES>
</response>

I am running OpenDap Hyrax 1.9.7 on CentOS 6.4.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anthony,

I think you may have misread the documentation. The "|" character is an abbreviation for the logical OR so "No|Yes" means "No" OR "Yes".

I think you need to have this:

BES.FollowSymLinks=Yes

To enable following symbolic links.

This:

BES.FollowSymLinks=No

Disables symbolic links.


Hopefully that will help.

Nathan,

I think my original post may have been unclear.  I followed the instructions in the OpenDap/Hyrax setup guide to turn on Symlinking.  My dap.conf and bes.conf have the following lines, respectively:

BES.FollowSymLinks=Yes

BES.Catalog.catalog.FollowSymLinks=Yes

This setup produces the following error in my bed.log:

<response reqID="[load-metadata-:105:bes_request]" xmlns="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/bes/1.0#">
<BES> 
  <BESError> 
    <Type>5</Type> 
      <Message>Unable to access node /data/nc/NC_Data/contents: No such file or directory</Message

      <Administrator>admin.email.add...@your.domain.name</Administrator> 

  </BESError> 
</BES> 
</response>

Anthony,

Can you send the request URL that generated this response? Does the client request fail?


Thanks,

Nathan
