Daniele,
Thank you for your help. Those instructions worked out quite well. Is there a way that we can add some of the details to http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/raster/gdal.html or perhaps even create http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/raster/gdal_windows.html?
Thanks
Sincerely,
Mark Volz

Hello,
I still was not able to get ECW / MRSID working so I decided to try to start from the beginning. I have a couple questions about your steps, and I am not sure if I should always use the 64 bit versions to match my OS, or if I should use 32 bit versions to match GeoServer.
Thank You
#1) Install Java - Should I install 1.7 or 1.8, and does it matter if I install 32 bit or 64 bit?
If you want “fully operate at 64 bits”, you should consider deploying GeoServer into Tomcat (using a 64 bit JRE) instead of using the installer which setup a 32 bit service to be quickly used as a “DEMO” of GeoServer. (I was thinking that when running it as a Service, the installer also allows you to choose for a 64 bit installation but it doesn’t seem the case).
Java 8 isn’t officially supported although and we have a Travis instance building that version. Moreover, nobody reported issues which are specific for JDK8… Anyway, it isn’t officially supported yet.
#2) Install GeoServer, make sure it is set to run as a service.
Well. There are no explicit instructions saying that you have to run it as a service (see my previous feedback on Tomcat). I would use Tomcat instead if you want to operate on a 64 bit machine. Otherwise, you can see errors like this when loading the DLLs.
“Can’t load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform”
#3) Install GDAL extension to C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.6.3\webapps\geoserver\WEB-INF\lib
#4) make sure you have no others GDAL versions around on your PATH.
#5) extract all GDAL DLLs on a folder and set your PATH env variable to refer that folder.
>What exact DLLs are you referring to?
In case you have downloaded the gdal-1.9.2-MSVC2010-x64.zip archive (just to give you an example), I’m referring to all the files ending with a .dll extension contained in that zip file.
>What directory should I put these in? C:\GDAL?
It’s up to you… C:\GDAL is a good candidate… something like c:\programs\mytools\gdal\1.9.2\lib is a good one too (I’m just giving you another example since you may put them where you want). The important thing is that the PATH environment variable refers to the specific folder you used.
#6) extract the ECW/MRSID plugins on a folder, then copy them to C:\GDAL
On this step I assume this should be GDAL-19-1600-x64-ecw.msi and GDAL-19-1600-x64-mrsid.msi from http://demo.geo-solutions.it/share/github/imageio-ext/releases/1.1.X/1.1.10/native/gdal/windows/MSVC2010/? By default they install to program files. It sounds like I can copy the contents of the folder and place them into the same directory as the previous step.
Note that you have to copy the DLLs from gdalplugins. If you put the whole folder inside the C:\GDAL folder, the loader won’t find them since it doesn’t recursively look into subfolders.
Is there a good place to figure out what MSVC version I need for a particular OS? I may also repeat these steps for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008.
Does it matter if I install the 32 or 64 bit versions?
I think that this depends on what MSVC libs you have on your machine:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search/result.aspx?q=redistributable&form=DLC
#7) extract the gdal_data.zip on a folder and set a GDAL_DATA env var against that folder.
I assume that the contents of http://demo.geo-solutions.it/share/github/imageio-ext/releases/1.1.X/1.1.10/native/gdal/ should be placed in C:\GDAL_DATA is that correct?
Note that the gdal_data.zip already contains a gdal_data folder to allow you directly extracting on some root path.
So you can extract the zip on c:\ (it should create the gdal_data folder for you). Note that you could also use
c:\programs\mytools\gdal\1.9.2, in order to re-use the previous example, so that it will create a
c:\programs\mytools\gdal\1.9.2\gdal_data folder with the zipped csv files.
#8) since you are running GS as a service, check the bin/wrapper/wrapper.conf of your GeoServer installation and make sure to add a wrapper.java.library.path.2=path/to/the/GDAL/DLLs/folder after the path.1 line
At first this crashed Geoserver. What folder and format should I map to such as wrapper.java.library.path.2=C:\GDAL
#9) Add path variables PATH=C:\GDAL;C:\GDAL_DATA
Nope…
add PATH environment variable: PATH=C:\GDAL
add GDAL_DATA environment variable: GDAL_DATA=C:\GDAL_DATA
#10) set an environment variable GDAL_DRIVER_PATH=C:\GDAL…
Is this redundant to step #9?
Nope. This is mandatory since GDAL will internally looks for external plugins within an external folder. Without this variable being specified it will not look for more drivers so it won’t be able to load ECW and MrSID plugins so you need to add that too.
Hope this helps.
Please, let me know if you need more assistance.
Cheers,
Daniele

Hi Mark,
I think the crucial steps are:
#1) make sure you have no others GDAL versions around on your PATH.
#2) extract all GDAL DLLs on a folder and set your PATH env variable to refer that folder.
#3) extract the ECW/MRSID plugins on a folder and set a GDAL_DRIVER_PATH env variable to refer that folder. (if you prefer, you can extract these libs on same place as #2 but you need to specify GDAL_DRIVER_PATH in any case).
#4) extract the gdal_data.zip on a folder and set a GDAL_DATA env var against that folder.
#5) since you are running GS as a service, check the bin/wrapper/wrapper.conf of your GeoServer installation and make sure to add a
wrapper.java.library.path.2=path/to/the/GDAL/DLLs/folder after the path.1 line
Even before starting GS, I would also run the javainfo/gdalinfo.bat script against one of your sample files to check if everything is properly configured. (That script is available in the GDAL zip archive you downloaded).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Daniele

Hi,
See post from Apr 30, 2013 in http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/GeoServer-2-3-0-GDAL-native-libraries-Windows-td5047711.html. That helped me.
Comment on point 4:
After installing .msi, copy all the files from C:\ProgramFiles\GDAL* to C:\GDAL
I also coiped gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll from C:\GDAL\gdalplugins to C:\GDAL
Hope it helps!
Regards,
Per

Ämne: [Geoserver-users] MrSID and ECW files in GeoServer - Issues installing GDAL in Windows
Hello,
I am trying to enable MrSID and ECW for GeoServer on a Windows 8 64 bit machine. I thought that I followed all the steps on http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/raster/gdal.html, but the new formats are not appearing. I was not exactly clear as to if I should install the 32 or 64 bit version of GDAL, or what GDAL DLL files I need to include in my path. It may be possible that I missed a step or two.
If anyone has any more verbatim instructions for installing MrSID, ECW, and perhaps the other GDAL formats in GeoServer please share. I am running GeoServer as a service.
Thank You!
