[Geoserver-devel] Can't start geoserver-2.9-SNAPSHOT on Windows

Hi,

Have anybody tried to start master snapshots on Windows? The bin-zip that I downloaded today yields

Error: Could not find or load main class

My jre version is jre1.8.0_72 (32-bit)

Jukka,

do you mean this zip?:
http://ares.boundlessgeo.com/geoserver/master/geoserver-master-latest-bin.zip

I cannot answer for Windows but I just tested and it started for me on openjdk-8-jre:amd64 8u77-b03-1 on debian unstable.

- Are you starting it with bin\startup.bat?

- Is your working directory the top-level unzipped geoserver-2.9-SNAPSHOT directory?

- Are you able to manually run the jar with this?:

cd \wherever\you\put\2.9-SNAPSHOT
java -Xmx1024m -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=\wherever\you\put\2.9-SNAPSHOT\data_dir -Djava.awt.headless=true -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=geoserver -jar start.jar

- What is the output of this?:

java -version

Kind regards,
Ben.

I can confirm this behaviour with today’s master. It will start when you run it from the command line but fails when you double click start.bat or run from the command line

The console says:

Welcome to GeoServer!

The GEOSERVER_HOME environment variable is not defined.
Temporarily setting GEOSERVER_HOME to the following directory:
C:\Users\astun\Desktop\geoserver-2.9-SNAPSHOT

The GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR environment variable is not defined correctly.
Temporarily setting GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR to the following directory:
C:\Users\astun\Desktop\geoserver-2.9-SNAPSHOT\data_dir

Please wait while loading GeoServer…

Hi,
I have vague memories that this was already visible when we first switched to a newer Jetty but
got somehow fixed… wondering if the spring 4 upgrade (and associated servlet api upgrade)
is the cause of this failure?

Cheers
Andrea
