[Geoserver-users] Question on Loading ArcGIS Server and Geoserver on the same Computer

I had a question yesterday and a few searches on google didn't turn up much in the way of answers.

I've a client who has a windows server (that's as technical as an explanation as I received) He's debating moving to geoserver for some of his needs. He is also debating loading it on the same machine as ArcGIS Server. While I don't think that's the greatest idea - is it possible? Has anyone done this and what were the issues if any?

Can't say I've tried, but I saw your tweet too, and could hazard a guess:

If you are installing with Tomcat, check your port numbers (shutdown port, service port i.e. 8080, etc.) for conflicts. Otherwise, unless there are Java conflicts, everything should run in it's own little container.

But, again just a guess. I will defer to others who have tried this madness... .

Hi Randal,

I can't see any big issue having GeoServer on the same machine hosting
ArcGIS for Server. The latter uses a custom tomcat instance but it is bind
on tcp port 6080. If you avoid using the same port for the the Tomcat
instance, or any other container you may want to select, dedicated to
GeoServer they can run along.
As for moving data and/or services from ArcGIS Server to GeoServer this may
be feasibile but of course you need some more details about it.
Just to start with a very basic question, what release is the ArcGIS for
Server?

Cheers

Stefano

In the past ArcGis was sticking into the Java runtime an ancient version
of JAI that prevented GeoServer from starting up correctly.
Not sure if that is still happening, but I guess worst case you could
try to setup a parallel java installation that is not shared among
ArcGIS and GeoServer

This might help. I am running ArcGIS Server (java version) 10.0 using SQL
Server 2008 and on same Windows 2008 server running Geoserver 2.2-ish and
POSTgis/postgresql 9; not using Tomcat for either set-up. This is a light
load dev machine. Main point of this ArcGis Server is to support an Android
app used for a GIS class, plus a test Flex page. Main point of the
Geoserver/postgis set-up is to serve GIS layers to some dynamic Openlayers
and Google API web sites (as a development environment.)
The ArcGIS Server install is typically very intricate, but it has performed
well in terms of not needing any management from me. Have not seen any
issues regarding the ArcGIS Server interfering with the Geoserver side, but
we never had more than 20 people hitting the machine at a time through the
app and the Openlayers pages were just test pages. I am about to upgrade to
ArcGIS Server 10.2 and higher level Geoserver as well, I am hoping there is
still no trouble.
