How deploy geoserver web archive with apache tomcat 8?


I want to run geoserver web archive in my tomcat web server. I'm using tomcat 8.
I download GeoServer 2.7.1.1 web archive from geoserver. When I want to deploy the war file, Error occurs as follow: enter image description here

But when I deploy another war application, it deployed correctly.

Where is problem?


Solution

  • The reason for this is because, Tomcat WebServer has a size limit of 50 mb max which is smaller than Geoserver war file. All you need to do is to modify

    DIR\webapps\manager\WEB-INF\web.xml

    and modify the following lines:

    <multipart-config>
      <!-- 52MB max -->
      <max-file-size>52428800</max-file-size>
      <max-request-size>52428800</max-request-size>
      <file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
    </multipart-config>
    

    Just set the size as follow (520 mb in my case or whatever value you want.)

    <max-file-size>524288000</max-file-size>
    <max-request-size>524288000</max-request-size>
    

    Hope it solves your problem.
