Hi, my name is Richard Hodge, I’m a mechanical engineer student and I’m currently trying to install the geoserver program but I’m having some trouble with the “start” java exe that doesn’t work and also I do not understand the “enviromental variable”. Hope I can get help from you.

Thanks!

I am not sure we have a start jar (maybe for testing as a developer).

a) please download the WAR and install into an application server like tomcat
b) for just trying it out please download the BIN package and then run with something like:

On linux:

cd bin
./start.sh

On windows:

cd bin
start.bat

Environment variables are part of your operating system, in the control panel on windows.

References:

aside: Ian we should update this page as it provides oracle JDK download instructions.

Richard, bringing this back to the list …

Failure is security failure to bind 8080.

java.security.PrivilegedActionException: java.io.IOException: Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:8080

As a web service jetty has to listen on a port - something operating system security is setup to be very defensive about.

Please check your network settings and firewall and be sure “java” has a permission to open a port.
