Geoserver Extractor handles
The extractor publishes the ESRI shapefile or Geotiff file to geoserver as WMS service. In order for the extractor to work, you need to two things:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/installation/war.html
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/geoserver/geoserver-2.3.0-war.zip |
unzip geoserver-2.3.0-war.zip |
sudo cp geoserver.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ |
The inital access to the admin page will initialize the setting of geoserver. Therefore you have to access it at least once.
Here are example instrucitons:
- open /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/geoserver/data/security/masterpw.info
- make a note of the master pw from the file and delete the file
- delete /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/geoserver/data/security/users.properties.old

The following software are needed for the Geoserver Extractor. Also it needs the "identify" command from Magik. Since Image Extractor is usually installed as default, we assume that it's already installed.
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gdal-bin sudo apt-get install python-gdal sudo apt-get install proj sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev |
