[Geoserver-users] REST Configuration API

Hi Patel,

Can you log into the admin console and turn on verbose logging.

Config -> Server and change logging to GEOSERVER_DEVELOPER. And then try again including the stack trace from the error log.

Also, when files are uploaded they get put into the "data" directory under neath GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR, you may want to try clearing out the appropriate sub directories to ensure a "fresh" start. Which reminds me I fixed an issue recently with files not being able to overwrite existing files, that might be coming into play here.

Thanks,

-Justin

Justin,

By the way, I am actually PUTing the image to the server and NOT
POSTing.

I keep getting this error when I try to upload a png or jpg:

14 Apr 10:00:08 INFO [catalog.rest] - PUT file, mimetype: image/jpeg
14 Apr 10:00:08 INFO [catalog.rest] - Using existing coverage store:
blah
14 Apr 10:00:08 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error auto-configuring
coverage:Unsupported file format
14 Apr 10:00:22 INFO [catalog.rest] - PUT file, mimetype: image/png

blah
14 Apr 10:00:22 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error auto-configuring
coverage:Unsupported file format

When I try to upload a GeoTiff, I always get the following error:

14 Apr 10:03:49 INFO [catalog.rest] - PUT file, mimetype: image/tif
14 Apr 10:03:49 INFO [catalog.rest] - Using existing coverage store:
blah
14 Apr 10:03:49 ERROR [geoserver.rest] - Error auto-configuring
coverage:java.lang.NullPointerException

I hope that helps in debugging the situation.

Thanks a million!!

Justin,

I desperately tried all day yesterday to try to POST a coverage and get
Geoserver to accept my image (a GeoTiff).

I am POSTing to a CoverageStore and Workspace that I create using the
REST API.

I am POSTing the following:

URL:
/geoserver/rest/workspaces/testWorkspace/coveragestores/testStore/file.g
eotiff

POST ContentType image/tif and the POST content is the file.

I noticed that if I set the configure=none&coverageName=test flags in
the URL, then the file is ingested by Geoserver without complaining.

When I don't set these cgi parameters, things fail and complain.

Why does this happen?

Also, do I have to create a layer to host the image in the WMS? Or is
this done automatically?

Thanks a million!!
