1.7.6 installer does not set write permissions on the log file file directory and geoserver does not start
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-3373
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3373
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Windows Installer
Affects Versions: 1.7.6
Environment: Windows 7 Build 7100, JRE 1.6.16
Reporter: sophia parafina
Assignee: Andrea Aime
The windows installer does not set the write permissions on the log directory which prevents geoserver from starting. This is probably because the default directory is \Program Files\Geoserver. This might also affect the data_dir since it is also under \Program Files
Work around is to manually set permissions for user to write to the log directory. Start geoserver manually from the startup.bat file and not as a service.
