[Geoserver-users] Windows GeoServer service won't start

Hi

I am running into issues getting a GeoServer windows service to start (ever) - I get a 1053 error.
Digging back I can see this is related to the wrapper, which throws the following error -

ERROR | wrapper | 2014/05/06 06:20:42 | Unable to expand “Path”: A device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x1f).

I am not sure if this in turn might related to an environment setting or something else? The Java_home path looks sensible - C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7.

Note if I install GeoServer via the manual start/stop route it works okay.

Any suggestions as this is proving v.frustrating (last Windows installation I did worked fine!)

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,
the error seems to suggest that your environment variable PATH contains a path to a not existing / not working device, maybe a removable one?

Try to check and eventually fix the system or user PATH.

Hi Mauro

Yeah, just gone through the path environment variable and cleared out some non-existent paths and viola, GeoServer is now up and running.

Many thanks
Chris
