I have Geoserver installed on Windows Server 2003 on a virtual private server here: C:/Program Files (x86)\geoserver-2.02. I followed the installation instructions and set the environment variables and Geoserver started up. I had no problem viewing demos with the localhost:8080/geoserver address.
I used Windows Installer for Geoserver which as I understand it used Jetty. As far as I can tell, I need to start the Geoserver program and it works in conjunction with Jetty. I don't think I have to start Jetty (not sure how if I need to). The URL I am using and want to be able to have Geoserver “work on” is www.newenglandgeospatial.com I used an Open Layers demo and altered it so that shapefiles I loaded into Geoserver would display, and tried to add a couple different legends and some extra controls. I am this as the index page (named index.html) and it is located in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot As of now, I can access the URL above but the shapefile layers, map controls, etc do not appear indicating that Geoserver is not “connected” although I have it started. In the ISII manager, the TCP port is 80. I saw one post with instructions to go into the geoserver folder named etc and find the jetty.xml and change <SystemProperty name=”Jetty.prt” default=”8080”> to default=”80” to match what is in my ISII but this did not work. I also tried to change it back to “8080” along with changing the TCP port to 8080. Still no luck. In the ISII manager, the TCP port is 80. So I am not sure where to go with this.
