Hi, Some clarifications: With the bin-zip installation we do have start.jar in the main directory of Geoserver, as well as we have there a file named start.ini. They are essential because they are used for starting the Jetty server but users should not run start.jar themselves.
What users must run is either the Windows or the Linux script in the /bin directory and Jody got their names almost right. Actually they are startup.bat and startup.sh. Connection between startup.bat and start.jar is that what the startup.bat finally does is to start Jetty by running start.jar with correct parameters: "%RUN_JAVA%" %JAVA_OPTS% -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR="%GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR%" -Djava.awt.headless=true -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=geoserver -jar start.jar -Jukka Rahkonen- Lähettäjä: Jody Garnett <[email protected]> Lähetetty: torstai 23. tammikuuta 2020 17.54 Vastaanottaja: Richard Douglas Hodge Alavedra <[email protected]> Kopio: GeoServer Users <[email protected]> Aihe: Re: [Geoserver-users] Install I am not sure we have a start jar (maybe for testing as a developer). a) please download the WAR and install into an application server like tomcat b) for just trying it out please download the BIN package and then run with something like: On linux: cd bin ./start.sh On windows: cd bin start.bat Environment variables are part of your operating system, in the control panel on windows.
