perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

Great you've been able to solve this.  Can you share with us how you got 
around this error?  Is the python2.7 environment different under RHEL from 
CentOS?  Maybe we can update our documentation to take this into account.

For the recommendation about the test name and the source message, I'm not 
sure what you mean exactly.  Is it about the error messages, the toolkit web 
interface or the regulartesting.conf file format?

Thanks,

Antoine.
