[Geoserver-users] [Re: geoserver on osx "client"]

ccing the users list, since others will be curious.

And it'd be great if you could update the Mac OS X installation
instructions.

JAVA_HOME you set the same way as CATALINA_HOME, export it in your
.bash_profile

export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/your/installed/java

Could be permissions?

Try a 'chmod 775' to catalina.sh

hi,

can anybody point me to an how to install "tomcat + geoserver"
on my OS ?
thanks for ant suggestion about.

Massimo.

I just did it a few weeks ago and I wish I had taken better notes.

From memory; install Tomcat (I am using 5.0.28) and make sure it is

working. I do not remember any problems there. Use the
geoserver-1.4-war.zip (not geoserver-1.4-bin, and I would avoid 1.5 at
first as it has additional requirements)

un-zip and un-pack the war, then drag geoserver into web-apps directory.

Restart Tomcat, and try localhost:8080/geoserver

I seem to recall changing something in web.xml or server.xml, but it
was not entirely specific to geoserver.

I got it running without undue effort on OS X 10.4.8, if you have
problems please post specific details.
