We have RHEL8 server, Jetty webserver and GeoServer v2.22.4. There is an Apache proxy. We have the data folder external to the GeoServer application. It has been running through various upgrades for many years. Until recently, GeoNetwork has restricted upgrades to Java8 compatibility (hence GS v2.22.4).
I think a month or so ago, I did something to the setup (cannot recall what). All layers continued to work with Open Layers, which is how I normally check operation. Very recently, it was brought to my attention that WMS and WMTS could not be accessed via GIS applications. However WFS and WCS layers are accessible.
Using the WMS GetCapabilities query in the GeoServer Demo package, I get a timeout after a minute or so, and the message "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below" (file attached - looks okay to me).
The default data folder is still with the GeoServer installation and, if I point at it, the WMS requests are accessible via GIS systems, suggesting the GS installation is fine - there is something wrong with our external data store. File permissions and ownership are the same as the default data store.
I have tried augmenting the default data store with workspace/store/styles from our external store, but get error messages.
If all else fails, is there a way of rescuing the workspace/store/250+layers/style information? Or is there something simple that fixes our problem?
