Just to add my 2c worth
Don’t install your data files into the <myserver>/tomcat/webapps/geoserver/data
directory. Host your data elsewhere on the file system.
You can change the value for GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR in the web.xml file in
<myserver>/tomcat/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF directory to point to this location.
Eg:
<context-param>
<param-name>GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR</param-name>
<param-value>/opt/spatial/geoserver/data</param-value>
</context-param>
This way you can:
· Install your new instance of Geoserver and check that it works.
· Stop Geoserver
· Change the web.xml file as outlined above
· Start Geoserver.
All your data should now be available

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] Geoserver does not start up again after
tomcat-restart
I have had a similar issue migrating from a much older GeoServer version to a
new one and my solution was to NOT migrate the data folder in it's entirety but
instead to migrate only some components. I won't pretend to understand the
underlying issue but it fixed it for me. The components I migrated resulted in
me having all of the important stuff in the new GeoServer version and a running
GeoServer. I migrated the following in the order specified:
* workspaces
* security
* styles
If you want to try this here are the steps:
1. shut down tomcat
2. go to your freshly installed data folder
(....your_tomcat/webapps/geoserver/data)
3. mv -rf fullpath_to_your_backup/workspaces/* workspaces/.
4. mv -rf fullpath_to_your_backup/security/* security/.
5. mv -rf fullpath_to_your_backup/styles/* styles/.
6. cd ..
7. chown -R tomcat:tomcat data
8. restart tomcat
Hope this helps,
Vera

Hello group!
At the moment i have a hard problem. After a restart of my running tomcat8 the
geoserver-application (2.11) did not start up. some other applications
(geonetwork, jasper) run as good as before. After that i did an update to
2.15.1, whicht starts up with a clean data-directory. When i copy my old
data-dir in the new installation, it does not start up again.
in the catalina-log are the following lines, which i think descripbe the error,
but i am not able to understand what they want to tell me. Somewhere else i
found a reference to the encrytion used
(http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/GeoServer-doesn-t-Start-up-td5268309.html),
but i wanted to ask someone before i do something weird. The whole logfile
can be delievered also.
So please, can someone tell me, what happened here?
Thanks in advance
