Hi Joseph, In order to use the variable, you have to call it by it’s name.
cd $GEOSERVER_HOME/bin Should get you into the bin folder in /usr/share/Geoserver Kind regards, Bart From: John Joseph <chardin.li...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, 1 June 2021 17:01 To: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Geoserver-users] GEOSERVER_HOME envrionemnt variable on Ubuntu Hello, I'm installing Geoserver-2.19.1 (binary, platform independent) stable release on Ubuntu 20.04. I'm following the Geoserver documentation as best I can, but am running into trouble on setting the GEOSERVER_HOME environment variable. After following the documentation to download and extract zip files, I have the directories set up such that my startup.sh is located as shown: /usr/share/geoserver/geoserver-2.19.1-bin/bin/startup.sh Now Step 5 of the current on-line GeoServer documentation says to define the GEOSERVER_HOME environment variable by entering the command (which I've copied and pasted here): echo "export GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/share/geoserver" >> ~/.profile . ~/.profile I assume this is all supposed to be entered as a single command line, as the instructions say to type it in, so I typed it in like this: echo "export GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/share/geoserver" >> ~/.profile. ~/.profile which did not work for me. Prior to that, I had entered (erroneously) as two separate command lines (. ~/.profile as the 2nd command). But either way when I try to do a subesequent step, cd geoserver/bin I get "No such file or directory". I actually got Geoserver to start last night by using the commands "cd /usr/share/geoserver/geoserver-2.19.1-bin/bin" and then "sh startup.sh", but now even that won't work. Can someone tell me my error? I'm considering re-installing, but would like to have a bit more insight before I do that. Your help would be much appreciated.
