Hi All,
I have startup problems with Geoserver 1.7.2 on Ubuntu Linux 8.10
I choosed binary package install and created service based on the
binary package install instructions.
My install locations conform these environment variables:
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/geoserver_data
GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/local/geoserver-1.7.2
/usr/local/geoserver-1.7.2 is write-only for the service. Its data_dir
is copied into /var/lib/geoserver_data. All rights and ownerships are
granted there for www-data user, like
-rw-rw-rw- 1 www-data www-data 14360 Feb 2 12:51 serverlog
logs/
-rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 7652 Feb 2 12:51 geoserver.log
(I know these files don't need executable flag, but don't care)
Service script settings in /etc/init.d/geoserver are:
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
DESC="geoserver"
NAME=geoserver
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME
GEOSERVER_USER=www-data
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/geoserver_data
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/local/geoserver-1.7.2
http://localhost:8080/geoserver in a browser shows ap this error:
HTTP ERROR 404
RequestURI=/geoserver
Powered by jetty://
Processes with 'geo' string in them are:

After stopping service, clearing the above log files and starting,
their contents describing errors are:

both contained several INFO lines and some uninteresting warnings
about coordinate order hint for one coverage.
What did I wrong?
thanx in advance!

I don't really know, it seems the user starting up geoserver does not have write permissions on the /usr/local/geoserver-1.7.2/logs directory?

www-data is a special system account that Ubuntu provides for Apache, it should not be used for other purposes. For instance, the account may have an AppArmor profile that prevents this kind of access.
You should create brand new user, call him "geoserver" if you like, and run jetty as that user.
