Re: [Geoserver-users] Uploading file via URL file:///

[Jody G. <jod...@gm...>]

Hi Julierme,

Are you able to choose the file using the user interface Browse button?
This would indicate to me that GeoServer has the file permissions to read
the folder where the file is located.  Did you check what user account was
running GeoServer? And confirm that the user has access to
/Users/username/Documents/example.tif ?

Other than that we need to look at the geoserer.log (either the file or
using the user interface) for the stack trace describing where the read
failure occurred.

Also it is worth running gdalinfo on the GeoTIFF just to see if it is
encoded correctly and complete.

Aside: Please remember to keep conversation on the email list (as
private one-on-one support is something many of our commercial support
providers offer and I wish to respect that). By communicating in public
others can join the conversation (who may have more insight than me).
