[Geoserver-users] Geoserver 1.6.0.beta2 doesn't work with Windows Service Wrapper

Tom_JDi_Solutions · September 12, 2007, 1:26pm

Hi,

I’ve tried this on 2 servers now and both give the same result, I set it up as I did with previous versions (which worked) and run the service wrapper setup as described here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Windows+Service+Wrapper and when I start the service it says:

Could not start the Geoserver service on Local Computer
Error 1067: The Process Terminated Unexpectedly.

Do you want to see the geoserver logs or are you unconcerned at the moment as this is a beta? I can go back to 1.5.2, I just thought it might be useful to give 1.6 a go as we’re still not using it in production yet.

cheers,

Tom

Well, of course we feel no hurry, but the logs would be very much appreciated, that may help us to have the beta4 work with service
wrapper.

Can you open a jira issue and attache the logs there?

Anyways, a better way to have GeoServer run as a service is
to install it in Tomcat 6 and then use the Tomcat service
wrapper (and maybe you can install the APR runtime as well,
as we suggest in the "GeoServer in production" guide in the wiki).

Cheers

Thanks, I’ll have a look but that’s a whole bunch of new things I’ve never used and I’ve got enough to get to grips with atm already! The service wrapper is simplicity itself and worked beautifully for 1.5.2

I’ll post the logs to jira as requested when I get a chance.

cheers

Hi, the 1.6.0. beta2 doesn’t seem to want to allow me to log to a file. It says “Geoserver Logging Disabled” Is it supposed to be like that or am I missing something?

Ok but before I do, I get the same problem with 1.5.3 only this time it won’t startup as a standalone app either. The output is below. I’ve just tried a completely fresh install with the same problem. The only non standard is my data directory.

Well, I think the trouble is that we make sure data dirs are forward
compatible, but now backwards compatibile. I think you saved the
config with GeoServer 1.6 and now GeoServer 1.5 breaks with it.
I looked into the stack trace, but I'm not sure what may make
the logging level break this way.

In any case, I suggest you hack your config.xml by using
a text editor and add back in the following lines:

<loggingLevel>INFO</loggingLevel>
     <loggingToFile value = "false" />
     <logLocation>logs/geoserver.log</logLocation>

Let's hope this is enough to make 1.5.3 pick up your data dir...
Cheers

Tom_JDi_Solutions · September 18, 2007, 9:27am

Couldn’t find config.xml anywhere so I just recreated the data_dir from scratch and it worked. I also discovered that in 1.5.3 the reason the service wrapper wasn’t working was because there was no JAVA_HOME environment variable. I’ve put that in and it’s fine. Am gonna try now with 1.6.0 and if that works that only leaves the inability to change the logging level in 1.6.0 which I’ll report in JIRA.

Thanks for your help Andrea,

Tom

Thanks for your help Andrea,

Thank you for your patience and for testing GeoServer
As for 1.6, I guess you may want to try out beta3, which I'm releasing today (if all goes fine).
It has some quite needs speedups in WMS, I guess you may be interested in them (thought using Oracle datastore you'll only experience some
part of it, to get the full thing you need shapefile and to a lesser
extent postgis)

Couldn’t find config.xml anywhere so I just recreated the data_dir from
scratch and it worked. I also discovered that in 1.5.3 the reason the
service wrapper wasn’t working was because there was no JAVA_HOME
environment variable. I’ve put that in and it’s fine. Am gonna try now
with 1.6.0 and if that works that only leaves the inability to change
the logging level in 1.6.0 which I’ll report in JIRA.

Cool

Thanks for your help Andrea,

Thank you for your patience and for testing GeoServer
As for 1.6, I guess you may want to try out beta3, which I’m releasing
today (if all goes fine).
