Thanks,
The problem is not in creating a correct path to a store; but in seemingly mis-located or mis-referenced path to the default styles folder in the distribution. One fix seems to be, moving the styles folder from data_dir/ to webapps/geoserver/data. There are evidently a few routines that expect to find the default stylesheets in the latter location even though the distribution places them in the former. --pbc Paul B.

I had a quick test with a shapefile that was located on another disk than geoserver installation disk, and in this case the wizard created me correct path to the new shapefile store. I was thinking that perhaps the problem appears when working somewhere around the Geoserver installation or data_dir directories but had not time to verify it. -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________ Lähettäjä: Cote, Paul [mailto:[email protected]] Lähetetty: 13. joulukuuta 2010 16:00 Vastaanottaja: [email protected] Aihe: [Geoserver-users] geoserver-2.02.bin: Misplaced Data Directory Hi GeoServer Users. I just started fooling with geoserver last night. I had a heck of a time working through the 'add a shapefile' tutorial because it seems that with the platform-neutral binary archive for the geoserver2.02 beta (downloaded from sourceforge) has a bunch of resources that are located under geoserver2.02/data_dir/ that ought to be in gewosever2.02/webpapps/geoserver/data .. Of course I may be confused. I discovered this problem because after setting up the workspace, store and layer properties as instructed in the Getting Started Tutorial, the clicking the OpenLayers preview link in the layers list returned an xml message about a missing default_lines.sld file. When I went to try to create a new sld, the sld creation interface returned an error to the effect program_Files/geosever2.02/webpapps/geoserver/data/styles/default_line.sld could not be found. I found the styules directory under the data_dir, and moved it and many other things that seem more like system data than user data into the /webpapps/geoserver/data and now my preview works. I see that the old 2.0 installer creates a file structure without a data folder under webapps/geoserver... So I don't know whether I have hacked this the right way, but since I can't find the place where the location of the default styles folder should go. Anyone have any idea what the right fix for this is? Great stuff! I am excited to move into the world of open-source geo-web!!! Paul B.
