Re: [Geoserver-users] trouble starting GeoServer

[Mike P. <mi...@op...>]

Glad that things are (kind of) working!

I realized, after I hit Send, that startup.bat is broken in 1.7.5 (and probably has been broken for a while [1]).  I just recreated that file earlier this week, so if you want to script the GeoServer startup, you can pull that down from a nightly build:

https://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/branches/1.7.x/src/release/bin/startup.bat

and to shutdown:

https://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/branches/1.7.x/src/release/bin/shutdown.bat

As for the wrapper not working, I'm still a bit unsure.  If the standalone command works, the wrapper should too...
