[Geoserver-users] Disk quota "flushed" upon tomcat restart

Hello there,

I’m new to geoserver and to this user list as well. I tried to find answers to my problem in the list archives and google but can’t find any, maybe I’m not looking into the right direction.

Every time I stop and start (or simply restart), tomcat, the disk quota option becomes disabled and all the cached tiles are gone away. There’s anything I can do to prevent this? There’s any option to graceful shutoff geoserver before stopping tomcat?

This geoserver installation is running on Linux Debian 6. Geoserver version:

“Version 2.4.0
Git Revision 6ca656addbb3fa3b47cc409b6d035f90e04c11f9
Build Date 18-Sep-2013 20:42
GeoTools Version 10.0 (rev 115fd1004418702455df7bae10e90f7c14d8fa64)
GeoWebCache Version 1.5.0 (rev 1.5.x/f981cafd349886bb2a1ef45067f26b1aa8e4aff4)”

English is not my native language, sorry for any bad grammar in here.

Salute,
Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,

I had the same problem. By default the tiles are stored in the temp folder of Tomcat, which gets flushed on a restart.

You have to set GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR to another folder.

Here’s my thread with some additional info:

Hello Paul,

Your reply was a good surprise. I didn’t get my original message back to my inbox from the geoserver user list so I thought it wasn’t delivered.

Many thanks for the information, it was enough to fix the situation.

What I did:
- Created a folder for cache, inside geoserver data folder (/var/lib/tomcat6/geoserver/data/cache)
- Granted tomcat6 permission to the cache folder

- Inserted into ../WEB-INFO/web.xml file :
“<context-param>
      <param-name>GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR</param-name>
<param-value>/var/lib/tomcat6/geoserver/data/cache</param-value>
</context-param>”

- Restarted tomcat

Cheers,
Rodrigo
