perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Aaron Brown <>]

Hey Justin,

It’s bizarre. The logs show it going through all the interfaces. I stuck your 
IP on one of my hosts’ unconnected NICs, and putting in the stuff in 
web_admin.conf worked just fine. Could you send 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/web/root/gui/services/etc/web_admin.conf so I can 
take a look at it?

Cheers,
Aaron
