Re: [Geoserver-users] Matching pre-built Windows x64 binaries for GeoServer 2.16.0, GDAL 2.x, and ECW JPEG 2000 SDK 5.4

Mats, the Windows installer is there to help people get started, testing GeoServer and getting to know it, and play with it on their development machine (which is Windows for many). Having an installer that gives many people a quick intro to GeoServer is important for the project diffusion. We

Hi! I really do not miss the windows installer. The war-file approach is so mych easier to deploy, and makes Geoserver run as a service. As a server application obviously should. Also, it was said that the Windows installer only created a test or toy installation. I had no use for that. Last month

Hi Daniele and Mats, Just to report on my experience, after that tip from Daniele I was able to get the whole setup working almost immediately, but using the WAR download and a 64-bit install of Tomcat 8.5 as a service. I wasn't able to get the platform-independent binary to load the GDAL stack

Hi Daniele (and Mats), Thanks for that — you were correct, I'd copied the jars to the wrong /lib folder. I'm now seeing a string of driver initialisation issues, but I'll investigate those further as I've got some information to go on now. Appreciate the assistance, Tom On Wed, Oct 16, 2019 at

Hi Tom! I just did this in a similar environment. But I am running Geoserver as a web-app under Tomcat. Which made the installation very simple. However, the settings need to be applied to the Java settings, and I did not touch any Geoserver or Tomcat bat files. That did not work. Also, the

Hi Daniele, Thanks a lot for your response - really appreciate any help you are able to offer. My reply is slightly delayed because I wanted to get the details of the server I'm configuring correct. However, I think my main issue is just with getting a GDAL 2.x based extension to load within

Hi Tom, I didn't get if you are having problems with GDAL registering in general or if you only have problem in ECW loading. I have a couple of questions to better identify the problem. Are you at least seeing the "standard" GDAL drivers from the coverage stores in the GUI (as an instance
