Here’s what I did at first on Windows and it worked:
-
Installed GeoServer from Platform Independent binary (just unzip install)
-
Start GeoServer using the provided start script appropriate for the platform
-
Use GDAL retile to create an image pyramid from a set of GeoTIFFs and output to a directory called “tiled”
-
In GeoServer web console create a new “Store” from the “tiled” directory
-
In GeoServer web console create a new layer from the newly created “Store”
-
In GeoServer view the layer through GeoServer “Layer Preview” and looks good
On Red Hat Linux the above steps also work.
On Suse Linux I followed the same steps as above but I get the below stacktrace at step 5:
(BTW: Here’s my Suse Linux version info:
Linux 3.0.101-0.5-default #1 SMP Thu Oct 31 05:21:34 UTC 2013 (36fae46) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 2)

Oops, something went wrong…
Sorry, something unexpected happened on the server.
