GeoWebPublisher Installation on Windows 7

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install GeoWebPublisher v8i on a PC with a Windows 7 OS on it, but just can't make it work properly.

During installation everything is working fine but my problem is that right after installation, when I want to enter the Administration program or if I want to take a look at the example page provided, nothing is working.

First problem: After entering the Administration program, after trying to log in, it throws me a 404 :(

Second: In IIS 7, I see no applications in the list like webservicesGWP etc. under the default web site tab opposed to the case with winXP where everything works just fine for me.

 

I would appreciate any help concerning these matters!

 

Thanks

  • Hi. It is possible that you have trouble installing the server portion of GeoWebPublisher on Windows 7 as that is a "client" OS and thus isn't a supported configuration. Please make sure the server portion of GeoWebPublisher is installed on a server operating system, like Windows 2008 Server for example. The supported operating systems are listed in the readme file.

    The client portion should run without problems on Windows 7 if you are using the latest release. Again, please refer to the readme file for the supported client operating systems.

    Hope this helps,

        Martin

      

  • Hi Martin!

    Thanks for replying.

    In the meanwhile we figured it out, if we install GWP v8i on Windows 7 "as an administrator" it installs smoothly and nothing is going wrong.

     cheers
