Hi,
thanks to your precious help, i've succesfull installed geoserver on osx-10.4.8 client edition.
this is what i done:
1)
download and install jboss application server at :
find it at :
http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossas/download/index.html
i chose the 4.0.5 version -> download-installer.
i installed it as "full installation"
2)
download geoserver-1.4.0.jar.zip
unzip it and copy the geoserver.jar in :
/Applications/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy/
3)
in the osx system preference i start the "internet condivision"
(i do not know if this step is needed)
then double click on the file :
/Applications/jboss-4.0.5.GA/bin/run.jar
now point the browser to :
http://localhost:8080/geoserver
......
i'm a newbie student, sorry for my newbie question, but now i'm reading some tutorial about geoserver
and i encountered the firast problem...
at this page : http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/User+Tutorial+Shapefile
i' tring to load a simple shape file,
step 1) :
Copy your shapefile to (geoserver install)/data_dir/
but i do not have any directory like :
(geoserver install)/data_dir/
so just for give a look.... i tried to put my shape in a folder, this is the path :
/Users/epifanio/Documents/shape/torrenti/torrenti.shp
and then i continue with the next step of tutorial, but at the point :
STEP 2.2
Select your DataStore:....
i click on the 'new' button
and i've this log :
File not found: /Applications/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/./tmp/deploy/tmp8225geoserver-exp.war/Users/epifanio/Documents/shape/torrenti/torrenti.shp
can you help me to know where can i store my data (raster and vector) to load it into geoserver ?
