Hello!
My objective is to use Geoserver to serve geoTIFF Topo maps from USGS as WMS tiles. There is a 250 mile walking trail that does not have a good map.
I have installed geoserver three different ways and have come up against the same roadblock on the server installs: Unable to log on as administrator due to browser HTTPS complaints.
-
Stable Standalone on Ubuntu 22 LTS - AWS EC2 - NGINX HTTPS proxy
I can not log on as administrator remotely due to the browsers HTTPS requirement. Geoserver works fine on HTTPS behind a nginx reverse proxy except for being able to log on. -
Stable WAR on Tomcat 10 ./ OJDK 11 - Ubuntu 22 - LTS AWS EC2
Tomcat is full functional with HTTPS thanks to LetsEncrypt certificates. I have deployed the WAR to tomcat/webapps and it shows on the web management screen but will not start. The “SEVERE” log entry has to do with listeners that do not start.
Log Entry
22-Sep-2023 08:45:10.002 INFO [https-jsse-nio-8443-exec-3] org.apache.jasper.servlet.TldScanner.scanJars At least one JAR was scanned for TLDs yet contained no TLDs. Enable debug logging for this logger for a complete list of JARs that were scanned but no TLDs were found in them. Skipping unneeded JARs during scanning can improve startup time and JSP compilation time.

- Stable Standalone on Windows Laptop
Works great but not a suitable platform for a server.
I read several posts that solved the listener-failed-to-start by changing their java and/or geoserver version. The geoserver WARs I have used show as good with OpenSDK 11 but still no joy.
Is there a Tomcat - Java - Geoserver combination that I should try?

David Carlin
