[Geoserver-users] Geo Server 2.1.0 WorldImage store not able to access mapped drive

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

Hi,
I have an installation of Geo Server 2.1.0 deployed as an application on Oracle Weblogic Managed Server. I need to configure a WorldImage store. The World Image files are stored in folder(WPM_Images) on a remote file server running on Windows 2008 R2. The folder has been shared and mapped as Network Map Drive(W) on the box where the Weblogic Managed Server is hosted. The images can be accessed as W:*.PNG. However, when the WorldImage store is configured, the W drive is not visible from the browse function. Does Geo Sever 2.1.0 support mapped drive or do I need to use UNC path? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Samyajit Talukdar

That is an older copy of GeoServer, we find (and fix) issues with windows filenames fairly often. This has gotten a lot better recently thanks to the generation donation of a windows build box :slight_smile:

Try using a browser such as fire fox to determine the URL to your world image file - and then cut and paste that into the configuration screen. It could be that world+image is fine with your remote file server, but the file browser is unable to browse it.

(you may also wish to remove your company Privileged/Confidential information footer when posting a question on a public email list such as this).

Dear Samyajit,
I would make sure that the user you are using for running the
geoserver process/service has accesso to mapped drives in Windows.
This question has been asked and addressed a few times in the past in
the ML, you can perform a quick search to get more info.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry about the company footer. It gets automatically attached en route to the recipient.
I understand this is an old version but immediate update is not on the cards.
I tried opening up the images in fire fox and pasting the url. This did not help.
Thanks
Samyajit

Ciao Samyajit,
as I suggested, this is usually a permission problem of the account
GeoServer is using to run.
Make sure it can interact with remotely mapped drives (this is not the
case for System Accounts in Windows afair)

Hi Simone,
Thanks for the pointer. Though the issue is not resolved but I've a workaround now. I shared the filestore with 'Everyone' granting read/write permissions and configured the WorldImage stores using UNC path of the shared folder.

Thanks everyone for replying :slight_smile:

Thanks & Regards,
Samyajit Talukdar
