Finally, I got it working.  I stopped Apache, installed the 2.5-RC1 version
as an administrator, and now the web page is answering up.  Thanks!  No to
get started with this thing.  

 

Two quick questions:

 

What is the GetCapabilities URL for my new geoserver WMS?

 

I have about 40 layers that are being served by MapServer.  They are located
in \Mapdata.  Can I configure GeoServer to serve maps from this location?

 

Thanks,
James

Hi

 

Geoserver is usually waterproof to install but I can't say why it fails for
you. For getting a better feeling, try this:

- Download binary package (zip)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer/2.5-RC1/geoserver-
2.5-RC1-bin.zip/download

- Unzip it to somewhere else than either of the "program files" on your
computer, for example "gs_test"

- Double click C:\gs_test\geoserver-2.5-RC1\bin\startup.but

 

If this fails, open the bat file and set JAVA_HOME  here:

cls

echo Welcome to GeoServer!

echo.

set error=0

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jre7_64 

rem Write your own jre path above

rem JAVA_HOME not defined

if "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto noJava

 

Retry.  This works for me on Windows 7 even without admin rights. Firewall
warning appears but it can be closed and Geoserver starts at localhost:8080.
Let's hope that this works and you can start playing with Geoserver.
