[Geoserver-users] Can't get 1.6 going

All,

I've been running GS 1.4 on Tomcat 5.5.15, JRE 1.5 on linux, and it's been
(mostly) reliable, though lately we've been having memory leaks. Since I
needed to upgrade any way, I wanted to move to 1.6 RC1. I had no problem at
all upgrading on my desktop (Window) machine: I just shutdown Tomcat,
removed the old geoserver directory and .war file, added the the new .war
file, started Tomcat, and everything worked. However when I try the same
approach on the linux side, Tomcat won't start. The last message I see in
the log files is: ERROR [geoserver.global].

Any thoughts?

Thanks Again,
Steve

Hi Stephen,

I believe you are running into the epsg database problem that thers are
suffering from when they upgrade. See this thread for example:

http://www.nabble.com/Error-503-with-geoserver-1.6.0-RC1-to14181663.html

The fix is to delete "Geotools" directory from your tomcat installations
temporary directory. Usually under "temp" of the root installation. I
hope that helps. If not could you possibly include the start up log. Thanks.

ps. Do we have a wiki page for this issue? it seems a popular one as of
late. Or perhaps we can do something to ease users pain.
