I have some data in ecw format and I want to add them to GeoServer.
My first question is:
1)How do I do this?
I have used the document below which is no longer maintained, but I could not find any other document. So I tried to go through the guide anyway.
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Load+NASA+Blue+Marble+Data
I have used gdal_translate to create a GeoTIFF file and it looks fine in QGIS.
But I get an error when I try to register the data in GeoServer under stores | add new store | GeoTIFF
The error is:
Could not list layers for this store, an error occurred retrieving them: Unable to acquire a reader for this coverage with format: GeoTIFF
2)Do I need some other files along with the tiff file?
In the sample data from GeoServer I can see that besides the .tif the is also a .prj and a .tfw.
3)Are these the files I am missing?
I have also tried to install the ImagePyramid extension and build a image pyramid using the two guides below:
Install ImagePyramid extension:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/imagepyramid.html
Building and using an image pyramid:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/imagepyramid/imagepyramid.html
When I try to build the image pyramid with gdal_retile.py in FWTools 2.4.7 I get a syntax error in the gdal_retile.py script.
I found the error in the script from a newer version of gdal_retile.py and fixed it, but only to get another syntax error.
My syntax in the FWTools Shell is just like the one in guide except the input and output data paths.
4)Have anybody used the scipt succesfully and know how to do this?
