Hi, I found why it fails for me and a way to repair it. There is a small difference betweeen the start command in the bin-zip that works and in the installer version that fails. See this part in the zip version:
:run if "%JAVA_OPTS%" == "" (set JAVA_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=128m) cd %GEOSERVER_HOME% echo Please wait while loading GeoServer... echo. "%RUN_JAVA%" "%JAVA_OPTS%" -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR="%GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR%" -Djava.awt.headless=true -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=geoserver -jar start.jar cd bin goto end So, java.exe –jar start.jar is run from the GEOSERVER_HOME, not from GEOSERVER_HOME\BIN where the startup.bat is located. If I add: cd .. as the first line into the startup.bat I can get also the installer version to start. I did not edit the path to jar but I kept it as "C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-M0\start.jar" but I suggest to make the installer version of startup.bat similar to the zip version by adding “CD ..” and use “–jar start.jar” without path because it seems to be reliable and clean. Should we add -Djava.awt.headless=true also to the installer version? And remove MaxPermSize if GS 2.9 requires java 1.8 anyway? -Jukka Rahkonen- Andrea Aime wrote: On Wed, Dec 30, 2015 at 9:38 PM, Rahkonen Jukka (MML) <jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi<mailto:jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi>> wrote: Hi, Did Andrea make a new test after he wrote what is cited in your mail below: ” - windows: Jukka tested - my understanding is the bin download worked, but installer may be untested” I tested it during the last PSC meeting, because we were talking about the M0 release being blocked, Jody though the issue was showing up on all OSs, but I remembered Linux working for me, so I first tested Linux again, and then Windows using the installer on a clean machine (uninstalled the previous GeoServer before adding the new one). Bin-zip really worked for me. Installer seems to install everything OK but startup.bat does not start Geoserver. The error is: C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-M0\bin>call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jr e1.8.0_60\bin\java.exe" -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2 .9-M0\data_dir" -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=geoser ver -Djetty.port=8080 -Djetty.logs="C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-M0\logs " -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-M0\start.jar" Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=128m; support was removed in 8.0 WARNING: Module not found [ssl] WARNING: Nothing to start, exiting ... Usage: java -jar start.jar [options] [properties] [configs] java -jar start.jar --help # for more information Startup.bat is really simple and all the paths look correct. By editing the path to start.jar I got another error so I do not know yet what makes it to fail. call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_60\bin\java.exe" -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-M0\data_dir" -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=geoserver -Djetty.port=8080 -Djetty.logs="C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-M0\logs" -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-M0\start.jar" I don't know what's going on there, although it's similar to what Jody is seeing... could it be some incompatibility with a previous install? Or maybe just draw of the luck when loading up jars from the file system? Cheers Andrea -- == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
