perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Bill Owens <>]

Okay, login problem solved (a web browser issue, nothing wrong with the pS 
host) but I still can't get any scheduled tests to run. I have configured 
BWCTL to test with another server here at NYSERNet and with an external 
server, both of which are known good and running tests with other machines. I 
can test manually, NTP is synced, but nothing happens for the scheduled 
tests; I get this error:

Looking at the other log files, nothing jumps out at me except for this in 
meshconfig-agent.log:

Maybe a Perl vs. IPv6 issue, but I'm not sure?
