Hi all, after I moved Geoserver's data directory Geoserver is not starting anymore. When trying to access the Geoserver web interface I get an 503 error.
The GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR is pointing to the correct location. Owner and Access rights stayed the same. My OS is Linux. It seems that there is a problem with GWC. In the logfile I see the error (full log message at the end) java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not locate a layer or layer group with id LayerInfoImpl--fd40ab5:166e9af110c:-273f within GeoServer configuration, the GWC configuration seems to be out of synch There is a configuration like this in the gwc-layers folder. And that points to a layer that does not exists anymore. My question is, as the web interface is not starting and thus I can't really change anything via API, can I safely delete this folder? The documentation [1] states that these files should not be edited by hand, but does not state if it's safe to delete them. Or could I even empty the whole gwc-layers folder?
