[Geoserver-users] GeoServer doesn't Start-up (anymore)

Hi,

today I realized that my GeoServer instance doesn't startup anymore (must have been since yesterday) as GeoNode layer views and layer downloads didn't work anymore. Latest thing we did was removing the admin password; but after we encountered the problem we tried to restore this now - without much success. Also I may mention that I restarted the server yesterday after seeing some inexplicable high load on the server (all 6 assigned processors were used => a guess could be that someone tried to download a bigger image file, 300gb+ ??)

I have checked if there is content in the gwc xml files and also deleted the geoserver work directory in tomcat, but without much success. GeoServer doesn't startup

The only think left is sending you logs - the GeoServer one don't say much to me what is going on and what initiates the shutdown - so I attach the Catalina.out. Perhaps the "datastore" not found error is relevant. As it is GeoNode this should be our postgis on another server. However, I checked and had no problem connecting to Postgis with pgAdmin.

I run GeoServer (2.4) as it came installed with GeoNode 2.0 on Tomcat7. Also I let GeoNode with GeoServer run in a VM that has Ubuntu 12.04 installed.

any help is highly appreciated!
best,

Stefan

PS: as GeoServer doesn't start up I am getting of course 404 errors

sorry for sending twice - I didn't see that my other email was approved already (because of its large attachment size) by the moderator.
