[Geoserver-users] GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR upgrade - REST not enabled

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

Hi list,

I have a GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR that I have upgraded from V2.0
to V2.4.0. Any attempt to access http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest
gives a 404 error.
If I remove my data dir and use the default in the WAR file,
then http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest works OK.

This leads me to the assumption that the upgrade process is
not enabling REST correctly.
What do I need to modify in my upgraded data dir to enable REST?

Thanks,

Chris

I guess you need to update the rest.properties file inside the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR. This file controls the Rest access constraints.

Hi Alessio,
Sorry, I didn't see your reply earlier.

I have the rest.properties file in my upgraded geoserver_data_dir, and it is identical
to the one that is automatically created in a new 2.4 geoserver_data_dir.

Are there any other config files I may be missing?

Thanks,

Chris

Hello Chris,
nothing that I can recall right now.

Can you send me the rest.properties files just to be sure that everything is ok?

I would also point out that in the latest GeoServer versions only the Administrators can access the internal resources due to a different security subsystem.
