when I try to create a workspace/layer/store following http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-examples/rest-config-examples-curl.html I am getting "System cannot find the file specified".... My curl is working fine with http.

What might be the solution?

An initial thought, have you downloaded and/or made sure you have the rest plugin. I recall that the standard geoserver donwload comes with one, but this is limited and you need to download the "new" plugin that has more access to the api?

  • I have installed Geoserver-2.1.0, so the rest is inbuilt in it. And I am also able to use http;//localhost:8080/geoserver/rest from the browser, But no idea why its giving error in command tool Commented Jun 15, 2011 at 7:14
  • Probably didnt explain the issue well. After installing Geoserver I had some similar problems that my scripts that worked using curl suddenly stopped working, very frustrating then I checked the size of the rest plugin that came with the standard install against the one that you can download from the plugins and they were different (same name different size), I dropped the one that I downloaded from the plugins area into geoserver and everything was back to normal.

  • @user3026, can you please tell me where can I find geoserver rest plugin. Because in sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer%20Extensions/… I cannot find any rest plugin Commented Jun 15, 2011 at 13:14
  • It looks as though the rest api plugin is available for 2.0.3 but not built for 2.1 yet. Are you able to use 2.0.3? Commented Jun 15, 2011 at 14:21
  • I have rest-2.0.3 but not restconfig-2.0.3 . And I think that is why I cannot see anything in localhost:8081/geoserver/rest I have geoserver 2.0.3 at 8081 and 2.1.0 at 8080 Commented Jun 15, 2011 at 14:36
