[Geoserver-users] GeoServer does not start anymore

Hi Antti,
Maybe one of the devs can advise on the error, but in a pique of irony, can you restore GeoServer from one of the backups that caused the issue in the first place? Does the issue still occur if you do?
Cheers,
Jonathan

Subject: [Geoserver-users] geoserver does not start anymore

Hello all,

We are currently using 2.5.1, now successfully about 5 months.

Today we run out of disk space, due to daily backups. Disk space is now cleaned and there is about 40GB free on disk.
After this cleaning I rebooted server, but Geoserver won't start anymore. Tomcat is ok.

From system logs (catalina.out), I found following lines:

18 Nov 18:23:39 INFO [storage.DefaultStorageBroker] - Destroying StorageBroker

Hi,

I restored from backups version of data-directory from beginning on last month. When starting up tomcat with geoserver, I still get the same error-message and geoserver shuts down.

Hello again,

"Solved" - hope so. I cannot find reason, but I did following.

-I undeployed geoserver and geowebcache from tomcat
-I deployed again 2.5.1 and started after installation
-Same for Geowebcache 1.5.2
-Both worked ok
-Then I restored geoserver data-directory from last week's backup
-I started tomcat both and geoserver staus up and working?!
-I checked catalina.out-log and noticed some messages "Permission denied" (about 10 xml-files). I forgot to restore ownership to backup files.
-Same again, I restored data-dir again and set all ownership to tomcat.
-Starting up tomcat, geoserver shuts down!
-I did data-dir restore again, without changing ownership and started tomcat and geoserver stays up.
-I change ownership of current files on data-dir to tomcat and restarted tomcat.
-All seems to stay up and running smoothly!

Maybe something which cannot been read, has run as default and after that written to config files?
