Re: [Geoserver-users] Fwd: How to install GeoServer on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS?

[Lennart J. <li...@rt...>]

Yep.

I added the attached shp to a new workspace. I then published the data as new layer and opened the layer preview. Everything went fine.

The workspace, store and layer were still there after i restarted tomcat. They moved up in the workspace/store/layer-lists though, so i thought they weren't there at first.
I restarted the machine and even then everything was still where it should be.

Do you want access to the VM to see for yourself or check the installation?

One thing that's suboptimal is the way the gwc cache is placed. Everything will be stored in /tmp/tomcat6-tmp/geowebcache/. This folder will be deleted upon shutdown of tomcat.
There's another folder called Geotools. Here's a tree of /tmp/tomcat6-tmp:

lennart@ubuntuserver:~$ tree /tmp/tomcat6-tmp/
