    # Setting data information
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
   
    # There are two ways the BES can be used. It can serve as a standalone
    # data server or it can work with the OLFS (i.e., as one component of
    # the OPeNDAP 4 Data Server Hyrax). How you point to data differs for
    # each of the two cases. Most users will be using the BES with the OLFS
    # as part of the OPeNDAP 4 Data Server Hyrax. In this case, set the
    # parameter below, BES.Catalog.catalog.RootDirectory, to point to the
    # root directory that contains the data you want to serve. In this case
    # the value of the 'BES.Data.RootDirectory' parameter, set below to
    # /dev/null, doesn't matter, so long as it has some value.
   
    BES.Catalog.catalog.RootDirectory=/Users/ndp/OPeNDAP/Projects/Hyrax/SVNDataProject
   
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
    # NOTE: It is unlikely that you will need to change anything under      #
    #      this comment.                                                  #

    # modules to load, includes data modules and command modules            #
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
   
    # Notes:
    # 1. All module configuration files will be located under
    # <prefix>/etc/bes/modules. No modules are loaded in this configuration
    # file. The module configuration files are included at the very bottom
    # of this file. And the module configuration files add to this
    # parameter.

    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
    # Setting the data location
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
   
    # If you intend to use the BES as a standalone server, set the value of
    # 'BES.Data.RootDirectory' to point to your data and disregard the
    # 'BES.Catalog.catalog.RootDirectory' parameter in dap.conf.
    #
    # The default value of RootDirectory is /dev/null, which means that
    # BES.Data.RootDirectory is not used and BES.Catalog.catalog.RootDirectory
    # is used from dap.conf. If you want to use this parameter instead, set
    # it to <prefix>/share/hyrax, where prefix is the installation directory
    # for the BES. This will work with the sample data we include with
    # various format handlers distributed for use with the BES. Or you'll need
    # to change this to point to your data! At this time the BES does not
    # support multiple RootDirectory values.
   
    BES.Data.RootDirectory=/dev/null
   
    # Is the BES allowed to follow symbolic links when requesting catalog
    # information. The default is to not allow the BES to follow symbolic links.
    # The values can be either No or Yes. If set to No, and the user requests
    # catalog information on a symbolic link then an error is reported and if a
    # symbolic link is contained within a collection, it is not included in the
    # response. If set to Yes then the requested node in the catalog is treated
    # like any other node.
    #
    # BES.FollowSymLinks parameter is for non-catalog containers and is used in
    # conjunction with the BES.RootDirectory above. It is NOT a general setting.
   
    BES.FollowSymLinks=No

    # connection information, unix socket, port number, and whether server  #
    # is secure or not. If you are using this option, make sure the BES is  #
    # behind a firewall which blocks the BES.ServerPort unless you intend  #
    # to provide direct access to the BES for the world. In general, if    #
    # that is the case, you should configure the BES to use SSL.            #

    # BES.ServerUnixSocket=/tmp/bes.socket
   
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
    # To communicate with the besdaemon, use the port or unix socket given  #
    # below. If one of these values is not given, then the command interface#
    # will not be available (and the daemon will not listen on the port or  #

    # Cache and compression configuration                                  #
    #                                                                      #
    # If a data file is compressed the BES will attempt to uncompress it.  #
    #                                                                      #
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
   
    # Currently the bz2 and gz file compression methods are understood by the
    # BES. We will add support for Z (Unix compress) if there's demand for it.
   
    # All of the following five parameters must be set in this file.
   
    # BES.CacheDir: Where should the result of decompressing a file be stored?
    # We've set the value to '/tmp' but you might want to change that to
    # /tmp/bes, /var/cache/bes, et c., depending on the server-host's
    # organization.
   
    # BES.CachePrefix: Prefix for the name of the file used to store the result
    # of decompression.
   
    # BES.CacheSize: Size of the cache in megabytes. When the size of the cached
    # files exceeds this value, the cache will be purged using a
    # last-accessed-first-removed approach. Because it's usually impossible to
    # determine the sizes of data files before decompressing them, there may be
    # times when the cache holds more data than this value. Ideally this value
    # should be several times the size of the largest file you plan to serve.
   
    # BES.Uncompress.Retry: When waiting for the cache lock, how long should the
    # BES wait before trying to get the lock again if previous attempts have
    # failed?
   
    # BES.Uncompress.NumTries: How many times should the BES try to acquire the
    # lock before it signals an error?
   
    # The BES cache directory is locked to prevent the different beslistener
    # processes from simultaneously removing files and leaving the cache in an
    # inconsistent state. Use the Retry and NumTries parameters to tune this
    # behavior. Generally, NumTries should be set to about 10. The units of Retry
    # are microseconds. To tune the NumTries and Retry, use the formula Retry =
    # (0.2s/Average_file_sizeMB)/NumTries. So if your average file size is 10MB
    # and you've settled on a NumTries of 10, (0.2s/10MB)/10 = 0.002s or 2000
    # microseconds. If you have really large files (e.g., decompressed they are
    # 500MB), try setting NumTries to 100.
   
    BES.CacheDir=/tmp
    BES.CachePrefix=bes_cache
    BES.CacheSize=500
    BES.Uncompress.Retry=2000
    BES.Uncompress.NumTries=10

    BES.Container.Persistence=strict
   
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------#
    # Defines the TCP buffer size to use in sending and receiving data in  #
    # the BES. With these parameters you will be able to maximize the      #
    # TCP capacity of the client and server communication by setting the #
    # size of the internal BES buffers to match that of your systems TCP #
    # window sizes. System administratos can tune the TCP window sizes in #
    # the kernal. If this is done, set these parameters to match those #
    # buffer sizes set in the kernel. Or, if your system supports dynamic #
    # TCP window sizes, as many are doing these days, then leave the #
    # SetSock*Size parameters to No and the BES will interogate the socket #
    # for the buffer sizes. #
    # #
    # The TCP window size should be equal to the Bandwidth*Delay Product #
    # (BDP). This is the number of bytes in flight to fill the entire path, #
    # and is equal to the connection speed times the RTT( Round-Trip Time) #
    # divided by 2. For example, if you have a 100 Mbps path and the RTT is #
    # 75 ms, the BDP = 100 * 0.075 / 2 = 3.75 Mbits (470 KB). #
    # #
    # If you are not sure what to do here, we recommend that you leave #
    # these values set as is. #

    #                              TCP receive buffer size. If set to yes #

    #                              the value specified by BES.SockRecvSize #
    #                              Default is No, use the system TCP window #

    # BES.SockRecvSize=<number> - This value should be set to the size, in #
    #                              bytes, of the TCP receive buffer size. #
    # BES.SetSockSendSize=No|Yes - if set to no, then do not set the TCP #
    #                              TCP send buffer size. If set to yes #
    #                              then set the TCP send buffer size to #
    #                              the value specified by BES.SockSendSize. #
