Hello,
I just finished doing a fresh install of 2.6.2 on Windows 7, and fired up GeoNetwork just fine on that machine. I then clicked on Start GAST but instead of the normal dialog, e.g., http://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/2.6.2/users/admin/import2/index.html, I get a GAST Configuration window:
I figured this was something new so I went through and set as many of the paths as I could. But even after doing that an error message came indicating something couldn’t find ‘server.prop’ .
If anyone has seen this issue before and has an idea on how to fix it, I’d sure appreciate it.
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob,
GAST starting up with this config-screen just means you’ll have to specify the folder of the GN webapp inside the \web folder of your GN install as <your_GN_location>\web\geonetwork.
Suppose your GN is installed in C:\apps, then the path for !webapp! would be C:\apps\geonetwork-2.6.1\web\geonetwork.
GAST will write the paths you specify to <your_GN_location>\gast\previousGastConfig.properties and proceed to the regular GUI.
I don’t know whether there’s a more elegant way using a relative path to the GN webapp, but the hard coded webapp path (with escaped backslashes) works fine for me under Win 7 with GN <=2.6.1.
Cheers,
Florian
Thank you Florian!
That did the trick! After clicking on ‘Start GAST’ the configuration window appeared. I used the browse button in there to browse to the install, e.g., C:\Program Files\geonetwork\web\geonetwork then clicked OK. Then all was well.
Thank you again.
Regards, Bob
