[Geoserver-users] Error 503 with geoserver-1.6.0-RC1

Hi,
somehow Geoserver won't run on my system using j2sdk1.4.2_16 on WindowsXP Pro. I installed the same version on a different PC before and everything was fine.
When I start Geoserver I can see in the CMD that there is something not working fine. When I try to open Geoserver I get the following message:

"HTTP ERROR: 503
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE

RequestURI=/geoserver/"

I used the older version before and erverything was fine. Now I got that error message I tried to use the old version again - getting the same error message as well :frowning:
So far I (de-)installed the versions a few times now. Also trying out a different Java version. Even tried my best to clean up the registry.
Has anyone of you made similar experience and solved it? I would be grateful for any hint.

Hi,

Any chance you could include the startup log? I have a suspicion that
you are running into a problem with the temporary epsg database used by
geotools, some users have been running into that issue lately.

I cant remember the exact path on windows... but try deleting the
following directory if it exists:

Documents and Settings/<user>/Temp/Geotools

I assume you running the Jetty version and not running tomcat?

Again... not sure if that path is exactly correct, one of our windows
users should be able to confirm.

Thank you for your quick reply, Justin.
You’re right, it’s running with Jetty.
There was no GeoTools-Directory in tmp.
So far I have copied the startup log to a rtf-file. Hopefully this could tell you more than all my explanations…

Good night,

Yeah, it's the problem Justin is talking about, I just don't
understand how it is happening to start with...
Anyways, on xp do the following:
* first make sure no GeoServer is running on your PC
* then go in c:\documents and settings\<youruser>\Local settings\temp
   and wipe out the Geotools directory
* restart geoserver (it'll take some time to upgrade the
   epsg database).

Hope this helps
Cheers

Andrea, Justin, thank you!

This mornig I opened my eyes and really found that Geotools-Directory. After deleting it Geoserver started correctly. :slight_smile:

Cheers,
