I want to add a raster data source as a data store, based on a somewhat huge .tif file (> 200 MB, file permissions are correct). I select the respective file and when I save, I get an error: 

    Could not list layers for this store, an error occurred retrieving them: 
Failed to create reader from file:data/geotiffs/tiffs/E/or11.tif and hints null

What can I do about that?

gdalinfo:

Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: or11.tif
       or11.tfW
Size is 6132, 10026
Coordinate System is `'

    200MB is far from being huge for a GeoTiff. That is not the problem. Could you add the output of gdalinfo for that file and the full error stacktrace from the geoserver.log to the question ? – pLumo Dec 21 '17 at 09:54
  • Coordinate System is \'seems to be wrong. What CRS does the file have? Can you assign it withgdal_translate -a_srs EPSG:XXXX` – pLumo Dec 21 '17 at 10:01
  • When I assign it, do I have to use the CRS the file was originally created for or can I change it to the CRS I want the file to be used with after import? – Lokomotywa Dec 21 '17 at 10:11

    You can also change it, but then you need gdalwarp ? What is the right CRS ? – pLumo Dec 21 '17 at 10:12
  • Originally, it was EPSG:31467, but I need it in EPSG:4326 – Lokomotywa Dec 21 '17 at 10:17

Your file seems to be missing a Coordinate Reference System (CRS). You need to add it to the data.

Just assign the SRS to the dataset:

gdal_translate -a_srs EPSG:31467 or11.tif or11_31467.tif

-OR-

Change the CRS:

gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:31467 -t_srs EPSG:4326 or11.tif or11_4326.tif

Some performance hints:

Your data has blocksize of "Block=6132x1", which is not very good performance-wise. Add the following to either of the commands

-co TILED=YES -co BLOCKXSIZE=512 -co BLOCKYSIZE=512

For more performance improvement you should create overviews using gdaladdo

  • How can I install gdal_translate and gdalwarp in windows? – Lokomotywa Dec 21 '17 at 10:39

    If gdalinfo works you should already have the other tools. I don't know exactly how to call them in Windows... I'm sure you'll find out ;-) – pLumo Dec 21 '17 at 10:42
