[Geoserver-users] GeoServer could not connect to localhost after install

Gabriel_Giroux · April 27, 2009, 3:20pm

Hi;
I’ve installed GeoServer 1.7.3 with j2sdk 1.1 and set the environnement variables on Win XP Pro sp3. All seems to work fine during the install and when I’m trying to getting started with GeoServer, I get the following error message :

HTTP ERROR: 404

NOT_FOUND

RequestURI=/geoserver/

Powered by jetty://

I investigated to know the cause of this error, as I can see in the GeoServer FAQ the first issue is relate to this kind of issue. But for my case I’m ussing Firefox 3.0.9 browser and the firewall is configured.

So I tried first the url provided with the default install to log to the server, but unfortunately it doesn’t work because firefox failing to connect to the localhost. So I’ve edited the GeoServer configuration file (jetty.xml) to change the port of connection to the host server because the first one used by default was used by another web server. So I changed the connection port to 8081 and when I run the connection I get the http error : 404 mentionned previously.

What I’m doing wrong , can anybody help me ???

Thank you for your help

JDK 1.1 hasn't been around for ages. Can you double check
which java version you're actually using?
Usually it can be spotted by going to the command line and
typing "java -version"

and set the environnement variables on Win XP Pro sp3. All seems to work fine during the install and when I'm trying to getting started with GeoServer, I get the following error message :

HTTP ERROR: 404

The error you're reporting is too generic, there's no way to tell
what's really wrong. Please go to your geoserver install,
data/logs directory, clear the geoserver.log file, start GeoServer
again, stop it, and send us the contents of the newly generated
geoserver.log

Cheers
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
Thank for your reply... I'm sorry I don't give the right j2sdk version on my previous post. I'm using j2sdk-1.4.2_19 as spécified in the GeoServer doc.

Actually GeoServer 1.7.3 won't run on less than JDK 1.5, thought
java 6 is recommended, if available, for performance reasons.
Where is the page in which we still suggest to use JDK 1.4?
Cheers
Andrea

Hi,

I am having the same problem indicated in this thead: I have installed
Geoserver 1.7.5 and Java SE Development Kit. I followed all the installation
instructions provided in the Geosever installation manual. After I start
Geoserver and try to proceed in a browser to
http://localhost:8080/geoserver, I get the this message:

Failed to Connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at
localhost:8080.

I followed a suggestion in this forum and went to the Geoserver installation
folder and found a log. It had the following information:

I don't know what do do with this information to get Geoserver to work. I
have tried it on two computers with the same result. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Andrea,
I am new using GeoServer and I am trying to install it on Windows Vista
Ultimate.
I had no problem installing the last JAVA JDK and GeoServer itself, but when
I went to check if the installation was right by going to
http://localhost:8080/geoserver nothing happend. I got this message
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080."
I would really appreciate any help.

Here is the log file:

Hi all,

I do not know whether you guys have already resolved the problem or not, but
I use Windows Vista and I faced the same problem. So what I have done to
solve it is just Run as Administrator the "Geoserver Start".

Hoop this is helpful.
