Ciao Phil, I am testing using a nightly build form trunk and here is the result:
-1- a put a mosaic on a network laptop on our net and I pointed the imagemoisac to it: \\192.168.1.105\work\mosaic_sample of course (murphy's law) it worked -2- ok, I said, let me try by name: \\Portatile-ele\work\mosaic_sample it worked again. K, let's see: -1-. I am running a war in tomcat which I started myself (no service) -2- I tried to access the remote share myself beforehand and I had to authenticate -3- I checked I had write privileges on the remote share since the imagemosaic must build its index Thinking.... let me install tomcat as a service and try again. I am using 6.0.18.... Well, right now, I don't manage to get it working, neither by name nor by ip. Mmhh, looked around a bit it seems that when you run tomcat as a service there might be difficulties accessing a remote share. I have not had more time to investigate atm. One thing I can suggest it to use the geotools developer logging level and send me the logs of geoserver. Ciao, Simone. ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
