[Geoserver-users] Image Mosaicking Plugin and UNC paths

Roger_Bedell · February 24, 2009, 7:06pm

Thanks jukka,
It must have access since the UNC paths in the shp dbf work fine. I think it might be a bug.

Hi,

I just wonder if this could have something in common with standard MapServer installation, that behaves so that Apache server cannot be run as a Windows service if there are network drives included in the configuration. Reason is in Windows user rights management system. Excerpt from Apache documentation:
"By default, all Apache services are registered to run as the system user (the LocalSystem account). The LocalSystem account has no privileges to your network via any Windows-secured mechanism, including the file system, named pipes, DCOM, or secure RPC. It has, however, wide privileges locally."

What account Geoserver is using if installed as Windows service?

thought. Still, it would be nice if it gets fixed properly sometime.

Mumble, it might just be the UI checking the .shp path exists and doing
that in a way that does not allow for UNC paths.
Mind to add a fix request on jira.codehaus.org? Otherwise we're going
to forget.

Cheers

Ciao Roger,
sorry to chime in late, but I have been having close-to-zero time these days.

Let me see if I got this right, you are saying that if you place the
index shapefile on a remote machine the index stop working but if the
UNC path are inside a local shape index then everything works.
Am i right? Moreover, do you have a stacktrace for your problem (you
might have to change the logging level to geoserver devel).

Simone.
