perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Verena Venus <>]

Hello Jose,

This problem is a known issue with the WebAdmin for BWCTL MP, see: 
https://bugzilla.perfsonar.net/show_bug.cgi?id=481

Moreover, the installation guide unfortunately is wrong here, as there is no 
tomcat used for BWCTL MP and its WebAdmin. There is a new version of the 
guide and a new release candidate (for the next MDM Release 3.1) for BWCTL 
MP, fixing this.

However, if you feel it necessary to provide a patch for 3.0, let me know, 
and 
I can provide you a fix as soon as possible.

Regards,
Verena
