Hi,

Disregard my prior message, I missed Arne's note... Same applies for
GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

For glassfish, that link references... GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR is that the
same parameter as GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR?

Thanks,
Jim

Ah... Glassfish.

http://docs.geoserver.org/1.7.x/en/user/data-directory/data-dir-setting.html

Same applies for GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR

Hi,

I "grepped" in the glashfish logs directory for DefaultStorageFinder

and

messages there stating...

   *** Reverting to java.io.tmpdir /var/tmp//geowebcache

   In the Geoserver logs, I am seeing this message...

   Found no usable default cache prefixes !!! Please set
GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR if you would like a specific location

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

I downloaded a fresh copy of the -bin version of GeoServer 1.7.4 and set
GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR in web.xml. This works, the log says

12 Aug 11:10:25 INFO [storage.DefaultStorageFinder] - Found System
environment variable GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR set to /home/ak/temp, using
it as the default prefix.

and I end up with the tiles and H2 database in the intended location.

Please check:
Do the log say anything ? Look for storage.DefaultStorageFinder
Did you restart the entire container after changing web.xml ?
Is the path writable for the container user ?
Are you sure the directive is not surrounded by comment tags () ?

-Arne

Hello Arne,

   We are using Version 1.7.4. Any ideas? We are using the embedded
version of geowebcache.

Thanks,
Jim

Please include what version of GeoServer you are using?

Hello,

   We have tried setting the GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR web.xml property to
a directory on my UNIX server.

   Even with this property set, GeoServer seems to be placing the
cache in /var/tmp/geowebcache.

   Is there are way to actually change that location?

Thanks,
Jim
