[DAS] we just setup a DAS:"Error retrieving features"

[Haiyan Wang]

Hi, Everyone,

We set up a DAS Server and configured a data source to annotate Ensembl
following the excellent instructions of Tony Cox.
We ended up with a webpage at http://tomcat.molgen.mpg.de:8080/das and
added it to the Ensembl DAS sources.
However we get a "Error retrieving * .... features" in the contig-view
of Ensembl, if we select our DAS-source.
We also try to issue 'features' request at , for example
http://tomcat.molgen.mpg.de:8080/das/EPD_promoters/features?segment=AC012462.5.1.143947:70000,72000

But Netscape tells us: "A communications error occured".

Did anyone else face similar problems?
