Thanks this is great..
I am going to work on the startup scripts. When I said that I was good with
seeing the information, I didn't mean that I was satisfied with the look/result
and was going to stop working on the project. I have been spending a good bit
of time on the project so far and was seeing little to no results.
When I got started with the "non .war" file it was simply because I am a newbie
and was using a cookbook approach with the GeoServer from an article which gave
this as a way to do the work.
I set up my map from my "localhost" and have it up on my VPS now. I can make
basic queries to my GeoServer setup.
If I got out and get the .war file where would you suggest that I install it on
my VPS? Currently I have it in: "/usr/share/geoserver-2.0.2"
The one annoying thing that is happening with my map right now, is that I can
see the map, but several of my shapefiles do not come through. Instead I get
increasing shades of pink for the different shapefiles which I have on the map.
The frustrating thing is that when I open my GeoServer for my IP address, I can
preview all of the shapefiles and imagery I have loaded on the VPS.
Andy.

Andy, the startup scripts are in /etc/init.d
They are controlled by symbolic links to those files under /etc/rc*.d for the
various runlevels (for both starting and stopping) but you probably want to use
something like sysv-rc-conf to enable or disable them. This should do it to
stop tomcat starting automatically:
sysv-rc-conf tomcat off
I still maintain you are better off long term running tomcat instead of
geoserver standalone though.

That worked, I now have GeoServer showing as working..
I can see the demo layers and, run them in a demo map with a query.
Now, I am still not certain whether or not I should try to use the .war version
or not. I only have a map so far with a point layer which will show associated
pictures based upon a value from one of the attributes of my shapefile.
I can see where you are refering to the one process "tomcat(process id 1989)"
in the email below.
However, this is a great step forward. Just seeing the information is good for
me.
Where should I look for those startup scripts?

Yes, get one working and then we can help get your startup scripts figured out.
In a general sense I'd recommed using the .war version with tomcat which will
allow you to host other things on the same box. Remove the '-' from the ps
arguments to get rid of that message telling you it doesn't need/like it.

Hi Andy
As you seen from your screen capture,
There are two process running. GeoServer(process id 2158) and tomcat(process id
1989).
As long as you want to use geoserver standalone version than war file. What you
need to do that kill both processes and start geoserver and check. I am not
sure how tomcat autostart and any other application deployed there. Next time
server restarts, you may need to stop manually or change your boot script to
not start at boot.
To kill both processes, you kill command as below
kill -9 2158
kill -9 1989
then start geoserver with startup script.
Hope this helps

I am unsure of what this is saying, but I can see in the GeoServer startup
where the line:
"6980 [main] WARN org.mortbay.log - failed selectchannelconnec...@0.0.0.0:8080
java.net.BindException: Address Already inuse".

The spaces are important in the commands, and you stripped all of them. Try cut
and paste what I wrote. Not to muddle the issue, but you can type
man <commandname>
to get a manual page for the command. So
man ps

Charles,
Thanks for the advice, I am new at this. I tried the
reboot of my VPS, and then logged back in with PuTTy and hit the startup
command again.
things look the same with
"25 Dec 18:18:55 INFO [layer.TileLayerDispatcher] - ConfigurationLoader
completed"
as the last line. This is the same as before.
I then tried the
"ps-aux www|grep geoserver" and hit the "Enter" key. Nothing happened. So..
I tried the "ps-aux www|grep java" and nothing happened.
In fact when I type anything in the PuTTy dialog box after I startup GeoServer,
nothing happens at all.
I am still getting the error "geoserver" not available. error.
Maybe I am trying this in the wrong application. My output window (PuTTy) is
where I am attempting to do this. Since I am new to this I do not know exactly
what the "ps-aux www|grep " commands were supposed to do for me.
Advice is still welcome... :)
I saw snow to day for the first time in my life on Christmas Day (42yrsold)
Andy.

Andy the log messages say something is already running on port 8080. It might
be your previous attempt. If you get stuck, just reboot and try again, but
something like
ps -auxww | grep java
or
ps -auxwww | grep geoserver
Should show you the process id and you can kill it with
kill <process id>
If this doesn't stop it gracefully, 'kill -9 <process id>' will for sure.
You can see if something is listening on port 8080 with
netstat -anp | grep 8080

Thanks for the reply,
I have attempted the install with a .war.zip file and have had no results. It
appears that the .war.zip file did not have a
"sh startup.sh" file inside it anywhere I could see. So..
I removed GeoServer 2.0.2, and then reinstalled the .zip file from
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/geoserver/geoserver-2.0.2-bin.zip
unzipped the file to the "/usr/share/" directory in my VPS. and after all of
the unpacking text ran by, navigated to the folder
"/usr/share/geoserver-2.0.2/bin" and ran the "sh startup.sh" command.
Now it seems that my GEOSERVER_HOME envirionment variable is set correctly, but
it appears GeoServer is not fully activated.
when I try to go to the http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:8080/geoserver/ I get a 404 error:
description The requested resource (/geoserver/) is not available.
I am attaching the output which I see from PuTTy for any assistance it may
offer.
Andy Davis...
PS.. Merry Christmas..
Andrew,
I combined your reply to me about the Geoserver environment variable with your
reply below; they are most likely related and it's best to keep things on the
list anyway.
Did you get beyond the GEOSERVER_HOME issue? If so, but you are still having
trouble starting it, please post your log from a fresh startup.
If you are still having trouble with GEOSERVER_HOME try launching using
something like:
# export GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/local/geoserver-2.0.2
# chmod u+x /usr/local/geoserver/bin/startup.sh
# $GEOSERVER_HOME/bin/startup.sh
