Hi,   I'm a new user of h5 server. On my test server, I installed and ran the h5serv docker container. From a remote browser, I could get response by sending [http://128.XXX.XXX.XXX:5000/](http://128.XXX.XXX.XXX:5000/) to the server. However, when I tried to use curl-based request, such as "curl --header "Host: dp.h5\_store.hdfgroup.org" [http://128.XXX](http://128.XXX). XXX. XXX:5000/", an error "tornado.web.HTTPError: HTTP 404: Not Found" occurred. The h5 files I want the server to serve is under "/data/h5\_store". Because the h5 server is installed on a machine without domain name (e.g. [hdfgroup.org](http://hdfgroup.org)), how could I set up a valid HTTP header so that the curl command could be used to send the request?   Thanks.   \* Yawei - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Computer Science Research Group Computer Science and Mathematics Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory PO BOX 2008 MS6164 OAK RIDGE TN 37831-6164 ---

Hi Yawei,    For curl, always use the dns name of the server the container is running on, i.e. the [http://128](http://128)… address you have.    To address files, the pseudo-DNS name is created by taking the “domain” config value (in h5serv/server/config.py), and combining with the reverse path of the file relative to the data directory. There’s another config value: “datapath” that gives the location to the data directory. So in your case you should set this to: /data/h5\_store. After this (and restarting the server), if you have “myfile.h5” in the h5\_store directory, the h5serv host path to that file would be: [myfile.hdfgroup.org](http://myfile.hdfgroup.org).    If you’ve setup a DNS entry for your server, say [h5serv.ornl.gov](http://h5serv.ornl.gov), then you can update the domain config value to match. In that case you’d have [myfile.h5serv.ornl.gov](http://myfile.h5serv.ornl.gov). The various config entries are documented here: [http://h5serv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation/ServerSetup.html#server-configuration](http://h5serv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation/ServerSetup.html#server-configuration).    Hope this helps! Configuration is always the challenging aspect. You can email me directly (jreadey AT hdfgroup DOT org) if that doesn’t work.

Hi All, I've just discovered that when I create a dataset with one dimension which has a size = 0, then I cannot properly open such dataset - H5Dopen() returns -1. But when I create similar dataset with one dimension which has a size at least 1 (even without writing data to such dataset), then I can properly open such dataset. Is this a bug or a feature in the HDF5 library? I think I should be able to open 0-size dimension dataset, just to create an attribute inside such dataset - and that was my intension - no data inside (thus dimension size = 0), but write some attributes to such dataset... Best regards, Rafal ---

Rafal, this might be a bug. However, if you don't intend to store data there's a cheaper and maybe less contorted option: You can create a dataset with a dataspace of class H5S\_NULL. Think of that as a dataset whose dataspace is an empty set. (Likewise you'd use H5S\_SCALAR for a singleton.)

Good point - I will remember about that possibility in the future - thank you. For now I've just moved all attributes level up - to the parent group - works fine. Best regards, Rafal ---

Andrey, the experts should chime in on the storage trade-offs. (I imagine the null dataset is stored with compact layout, but in newer versions of the file format an empty group is very "compact" as well.) At the conceptual level, the two are very different and that might tip the balance in either direction. A group leaves the door open for other descendants. A dataset is a terminal node and, despite being empty, is nevertheless typed. (A null dataset has an element type!) Of course, you could "type" a group with additional attributes, but it would be a very different kind of variable. This might be a case where there're no right or wrong choices as far as HDF5 is concerned, and users will have to decide what makes it right for them.

A choice consideration might be that the number of attributes has a limit. I think HDF5 should support empty N-dim datasets. Being empty also conveys information.

Hi Barbara, Thank you for an answer! Yes, your code also works fine on my side, BUT... when I try to set some custom H5P\_FILE\_ACCESS by call: H5Pset\_fapl\_mpio(plist\_id, comm, info) (so running this example under OpenMPI - even for 1 process only) it DOES NOT work any more.

This server is not working properly on Windows 10. I get useful ideas from [https://errorcode0x.com/windows-10-preparing-automatic-repair-error-fixed/](https://errorcode0x.com/windows-10-preparing-automatic-repair-error-fixed/) page.
