[Geoserver-users] GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR geoserver1.6.5 war

Randy_George1 · October 6, 2008, 7:23pm

Hi,

I recently upgraded to geoserver-1.6.5-war. I am having a problem with the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR

This test system uses Apache Tomcat 6.0.14 running on Vista

web.xml:

GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR

C:\geoserver-data\data

Tomcat console:

.

INFO: Loading Spring root WebApplicationContext

06 Oct 12:41:45 ERROR [geoserver.global] -

GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\geoserver\data

.

The GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR parameter is not recognized?

Has there been a change on the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR?

Attempting geoserver-1.7.0-RC3-war:

Hi Randy,

A little while back another user had a similar problem as described here:

http://www.nabble.com/GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR-in-1.7.0-RC2-p19296535.html

Unfortunately we were not able to replicate it. I am going to try again upgrading from a previous version, changing the data directory and see what happens. A couple of questions:

Which version are you upgraing from? Also, can you described how you changed the data directory. For instance, in the old version did you also set to this location via web.xml. Then upgraded, and set web.xml again to the same location?

Hopefully we can nail this one down.

Hi,

FYI, I was the one with that problem and didn’t find any solution nor proper logic for the problem. I just gave up and stayed waiting for the stable 1.7.0 version. What I suspected was that I might have had problems with the user rights in those directories. But in Windows case, that’s not likely to be the cause.

Hi Randy. Perhaps I'm the only one who makes this error, but could you check in your web.xml file to see that your <context-param> block isn't surrounded by a comment block? () (This block is commented out by default.)

Hi Justin and Mika,

Yes I saw the 1.7.0 discussion.

After some additional investigation, apparently this is another bizarre
Vista issue, not geoserver's problem, related to the Vista UAC. Also note I
have a trial version of Live OneCare running which may add to the UAC
difficulties.

When UAC is 'on', it appears that the geoserver subdirectory in Tomcat
webapps can be deleted but still exist. In particular I can delete web.xml
or replace it with the correct web.xml and the previous web.xml still
returns to haunt! Even using 7-Zip to manually unpack a geoserver.war,
prompts for replacing files that have already been deleted? Emptying Recycle
bin does not appear to help. It is quite difficult to actually replace
web.xml with UAC enabled, even though the file appears to be replaced with
all of the appropriate Admin commit responses.

My Solution:
Disable UAC, stop the tomcat service, edit web.xml, and start Tomcat again.

Here is a helpful link for disabling UAC:
http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm

I disabled UAC, made the web.xml change, and then enabled UAC again, since
it is a valuable restriction for avoiding viruses and root kits.
Unfortunately changing UAC status requires a system reboot each time
Vista is apparently not a good choice for hosting live webapps in Tomcat.
Fortunately there are lots of alternatives.

Thanks
randy
