As a test/experiment, I've been trying to get RC4 running on EC2. After 
installing in /usr/local and defining the GEOSERVER_HOME environment variable, 
starting up geoserver produces the following console output:


$ $GEOSERVER_HOME/bin/startup.sh
GEOSERVER DATA DIR is /usr/local/geoserver-2.1-RC4/data_dir
1 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - Logging to org.slf4j.impl.SimpleLogger@1908ca1

- GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR: /usr/local/geoserver-2.1-RC4/webapps/geoserver/data

load any stores.
1809 [main] WARN  
org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DisposableBeanAdapter  - Invocation 
of destroy method failed on bean with name 'geoServerLoader': 
java.lang.NullPointerException

and it goes rapidly downhill from there.

The problem seems to be in specifying the data directory; initially it's 
correct (/usr/local/geoserver-2.1-RC4/data_dir) but then seems to get changed 
to /usr/local/geoserver-2.1-RC4/webapps/geoserver/data  , which .

I also tried geoserver 2.0.3 with the same result, but everything works fine on 
my local machine (OSX 10.6, OS independent binary).

There seems to be lots of evidence of successful installations on EC2, so I 
must be overlooking something obvious (permissions, ownership?).

Any suggestions as to what might be the problem?

Thanks,

Rick
