[Geoserver-users] geoserver not working properly after data_dir migration.

Hello, geoserver community!

Got issues after declaring our production data directory as geoserver_data_dir on a new geoserver instance run in a container with tomcat 8. Geoserver version is 2.20.4. Previous geoserver was 2.15.

Problems:

  1. Layers page not opening with no error in the log.
  2. Layer Preview not opening with no error in the log.
  3. Server Status page _sometimes_not opening with no error in the log.
  4. Service pages like WMS contains no workspace in a drop-down list.
  5. When trying to click «Save» on a workspace page I get an error:
    «failed to upgrade lock from read to write state, please re-try the configuration operation». Thought that it has something to do with privileges of the user that runs geoserver but it has unlimited access to all folders needed including GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR folder.
    My colleague has run a new container on his local machine with the same 2.20.4 with default data_dir and it worked fine. Applying a copy of our production data_dir leads to same bad behaviour mentioned above. We have come to nothing with this problem. Maybe someone could point us.

Thanks anyway!
Yaras.

Analyzing the log when I restart geoserver container, I found some more:

  1. «The web application [geoserver] appears to have started a thread named [FileSystemWatcher-1] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.» Several messages with different threads.
  2. «The web application [geoserver] is still processing a request that has yet to finish. This is very likely to create a memory leak. You can control the time allowed for requests to finish by using the unloadDelay attribute of the standard Context implementation.» Again, several messages.
  3. «The web application [geoserver] created a ThreadLocal with key of type [java.lang.ThreadLocal] (value [java.lang.ThreadLocal@…11588…]) and a value of type [org.geoserver.GeoServerConfigurationLock.LockType] (value [READ]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.» This one looks important.
  4. « Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped already. Could not load [META-INF/services/org.geotools.data.DataAccessFactory].» Several messages with different services.

I am not quite sure how to help on this one?

That kind of error occurs when a geoserver is tripping over itself trying to write out two configuration changes at the same time.
Do you have in-process locking or file locking enabled? If you have in-process locking you should just be able to restart …

The file system watchers are expected; they do things like watch the security configuration files for changes.
