Installing the Proxy Base extension¶

The Proxy Base extension is listed among the other extension downloads on the GeoServer download page.

The installation process is similar to other GeoServer extensions:

1. Login, and navigate to About & Status > About GeoServer and check Build Information to determine the exact version of GeoServer you are running.

2. Visit the website download page, change the Development tab, and locate the nightly release that corresponds to the GeoServer you are running.

   Follow the Community Modules link and download proxy-base-ext zip archive.

   • 3.0-SNAPSHOT example: geoserver-3.0-SNAPSHOT-proxy-base-ext-plugin.zip

   The website lists active nightly builds to provide feedback to developers, you may also browse for earlier branches.

3. Extract the contents of the archive into the WEB-INF/lib directory in GeoServer.

   Warning

   Verify that the version number in the filename corresponds to the version of GeoServer you are running (for example geoserver-3.0-SNAPSHOT-proxy-base-ext-plugin.zip above).

4. Restart GeoServer.

   On successful installation, a new Proxy Base Extension entry will appear in the left menu, under “Settings”.
