For some reason I cannot download data from our Geoserver as a zipped shapefile. The file I get, is always only 397 bytes, and it cannot be opened. Any idea what has been gone wrong. Downloading worked well at least 5-6 months ago, and Geoserver version is still the same, old 2.3.1. We don’t update it, until we get a new server. Booting Geoserver does not help. Java version is Oracle 1.7.0_01 64-bit.
Any ideas? Which file is responsible for producing a zipped shape?

About ideas, don't you get anything interesting in the GeoServer logs?

Hi,
probably the file is an error from geoserver in xml format. Have you tried opening the file with a text editor and see if it contains the description of the error?

Her is the content of the zip-file. Don’t understand where the “Permission denied” comes from. I was logged as an admin to Geoserver, and tried to get data from Layer preview > WFS > shapefile

GeoServer needs to write the shapefile on disk before it can turn it into a
zip file, the permission issue is about that file system write, which is
evidently
not allowed.
I guess either the user running GeoServer changed, and has less privileges
than before, or the file system changed somehow.
GeoServer does these writes in the java temp directory, which is different
depending on the container
used to run GeoServer, for example in the case of Tomcat it would be
$TOMCAT_HOME/temp

Thank you Andrea and Mauro!
Maybe our system admin has changed privileges somewhere. Our Geoserver is still running under Jetty, and what would be the right folder, where Geoserver writes the shape first? I have also geoserver installed on my own computer, but I cannot find, what would be the right folder.

Hi Oiva,
A thought – was the error message actually a file with a “.zip” extension?
If so I’d posit this seems like a bug – the error should be in a .xml for various reasons including so users don’t wonder why their .zip is “corrupt”.
Cheers,
Jonathan
