[Geoserver-users] Problem with geoserver wrapper

GeoServer GeoServer User

I have been trying to install the wrapper to run GeoServer as a Windows Service.
I’ve got a Windows 2003 Server SP2.

I have installed Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 10.
I have installed GeoServer 1.7.0
I have downloaded the latest geoserver_service_wrapper.zip file and unzipped it into my “D:\Program Files\GeoServer 1.7.0” folder.
I have a System Environment variable : JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10
I have a System Environment Variable : GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR = D:\Program Files\GeoServer 1.7.0\data_dir
Not sure I need this but I’ve also got a User Environment Variable : GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR = D:\Program Files\GeoServer 1.7.0\data_dir

If I start GeoServer by using the menu options ('Start / All Programs / GeoServer 1.7.0 / Start Server" ) then I can access the GeoServer Admin pages at http://localhost:8080/geoserver/config/index.do and all of the Demo pages etc. seem to work fine.

After that I stopped the GeoServer ('Start / All Programs / GeoServer 1.7.0 / Stop Server" ) and then tried to run the Windows Service wrapper from the command line using
wrapper.exe c ./bin/wrapper/wrapper.conf

This produces an error :-

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : Files\GeoServer
Caused by : java.lang.ClassNotFoundException : Files\GeoServer
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run (URLClassLoader.java:200)
…
…
Could not find the main class Files\GeoServer

And, not surprisingly, typing in the url http://localhost:8080/geoserver/config/index.do does not give the GeoServer Admin page.

Any advice would be gratefully received.
Cheers

You have spaces in the path, either remove them or quote them
in the enviroment variables.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that Andrea, that has sorted out the problem.
It turned out that the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR environment variable had to
have quotes and the JAVA_HOME environment variable only worked if it did
not have quotes !
Still, I got there in the end.

Cheers
