[Geoserver-devel] [Geoserver-users] 1. Re: HTTP ERROR: 503 (Justin Deoliveira)

Hi Tom,

(can you keep your replies on the public list :)).

Thanks for sending the log, there is a problem occurring on startup that is preventing geoserver from starting properly. It seems to be related to the internal EPSG database. Can you perform the following steps:

1. Shut down GeoServer

2. Remove the directory

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Local Settings\Temp\Geotools

/tmp/Geotools (on linux)

3. Start GeoServer again

Hopefully that does it, i have seen this issue come up before and this was the solution.

    Hi Tom,

    Hmmm... quite strange. My only thought would be that perhaps oracle
    or some other service is running on port 8080. The reason i say that
    is because i have never seen GeoServer give back a 503 before.

    Can you try changing the port GeoServer is running on, and see if
    you get a 503 in a different port. There are instructions on how to
    do this here:

    http://geoserver.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1278052

    Change it to something like 9090 and then try accessing it from
    there. Let us know how it goes or if you have problems changing the
    port.

        Hello Justin,
        Thank you for the reply. I have installed GeoServer straight
        from the .exe that i downloaded. At first, my 8080 port was
        being used by my Oracle TNSlistener. I didnt want GeoServer to
        run on any other port than 8080 so I blew out my instance of
        oracle and will reinstall when I get this geoserver prob solved.
         Solved that prob and then unistalled and reinstalled the
        geoserver .exe. Started up the service, ran fine on port 8080.
         Its just when I go to administrator site that I get the 503
        error. Oh, and I am accessing it through
        http://localhost:8080/geoserver/welcome
        <http://localhost:8080/geoserver/welcome.do&gt;

        Any other ideas?
        Thanks ahead of time,
        Tom
