I investigated this issue deeply, here you have the results.

The CRS of the geotiff is as follows:

PROJCS["unnamed",
    GEOGCS["WGS 84",
        DATUM["WGS_1984",
            SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.2572235630016,
                AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],
    PROJECTION["Equirectangular"],
    PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],
    PARAMETER["central_meridian",0],
    PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
    PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
    UNIT["metre",1,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]]]

All the problems are geotools related.

In the right order:

1> GeoTools implements the Equirectangular projection as an Alias of the
EquidistantCylindrical or better of the PlateCarre projection (which is in
turn an alias for EquidistantCylindrical where code standard_parallel_1 is
0°. First problem is that GeoTools implementations always expect
standard_parallel_1 instead of latitude_of_origin as reported by the
unofficial list of projections here:

http://remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/equirectangular.html

Now, Martin, how would you behave here? Would simply change the parameter
name from latitude_of_origin to standard_parallel_1 when creating the
parameters for the transform? Should we use an alias?
 Note that this impact greatly the way I load and initialize the parameters
inside the geotiff plugin.

2>GeoTools referencing package do not implement elliptical
EquidistantCylindrical projections hence even if problem 1 did not exist we
would not be able to support this geotiff yet.


Conclusion.
The problem could be fixed pretty easily. I am waiting for some directions
from Martin for 1 while I am going to open a Jira task for 2 and fix it
myself next days.


Ciao,
Simone.

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] Trouble Adding a CoverageStore


Hi Andrea,

Thanks for getting back.  The geoserver instance is 
http://81.29.77.204:8080/geoserver here  (still with default login details),
and the geotiff I'm trying to add is 
http://81.29.77.204/MET8-FC-070807-1145.tif here .  The local URL (used on
the Coverage Data Set Editor) is:

file:coverages/meteosat/MET8-FC-070807-1145.tif

Thanks,

Andy
